Adobe Flash beyond January 12, 2020

Question

Team – can you please help with the clarifying question sbelow?

Enterprise users have additional options to control behavior as outlined in the Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide.

Does it make a difference on how users procured the Flash Player (individual download by end users from the Adobe web site vs. the enterprise having applied for a license for distribution within such enterprise) ?
Or is the only difference having many individual installations vs. installations managed centrally by the enterprise?
Or in other words. Does the option of an Allow List apply to all users of Adobe Flash Player ?

Thanjk you very much for your support.

Since Flash Player's job is primarily to process untrusted content, we continuously and proactively update it to stay ahead of the latest academic research and intelligence from the field. That work has stopped, and we strongly recommend that you uninstall.

For enterprise organizations (who have high quality security tools employed by teams of security experts) that need to keep important legacy applications working, you have a couple options, outlined here:

For consumers, we recommend that you simply uninstall and find alternative content and games.
