Updating Flash Media Server within Adobe Connect

We have recently had a security audit done and one of the highlighted issues was that the version of Flash Media Server on our Adobe Connect servers (4.0.3) is no longer supported and that the supported version is 4.5. We are currently running Adobe Connect 9.1.1 and I am due to upgrade to 9.3 soon. Will updating to 9.3 also update the version of Flash Media Server to 4.5 or higher? Alternatively is it ok to just apply Flash Media 4.5 or higher?

Thanks

    I don't believe that updating to 9.3 will update to FMS 4.5+. Connect is built on a version of FMS, and that usually doesn't change between full version releases.

    The instance of FMS that is part of Connect is fully supported by Adobe as part of your Connect M&S. If there is a security issue that you have with it, outside of the version number, I would recommend that you bring those concerns up with Platinum Support to see if they apply, or are able to be resolved.
