Hi,

I want to distribute Flash to  Windows servers, i followed the process of getting an Distribution license. During this process i have to give up for what kind of devices i need the license, here i can only choose laptops and desktops. Is this license also valid for windows servers? Do i have to pay for this license?

Thanks for answering my questions!

Hi jorke669049

Please note that Flash Player is not supported on Windows Servers.  See Tech specs | Adobe Flash Player  for a list of supported platforms.  While the installation will not be blocked, we cannot guarantee how Flash Player will function on Windows Servers.  Also note that as of Windows 8 and above (including Server 2012) Microsoft embeds Flash Player ActiveX Control in Internet Explorer (and Edge) and all updates for those versions of Windows are distributed by Microsoft via Windows Updates.

Hi Maria,

Thanks for the information, I want to distribute flash and and adobe reader across Windows Server 2008 platforms. I understand that adobe doesn’t guarantee the functionality of flash, after I filled in the form “Adobe Runtimes / Reader Distribution License Agreement” within what time will I receive the installers?

Met vriendelijke groet,

Jork Eggels

Hi jorke669049

Most licensing requests are processed almost immediately.  The email will come from noreply@adobe.com and have a PDF attachment.  Please ensure your email filters are not configured to block the email.  If you don't receive a reply within 2-3 business days, private message me the email address/Adobe ID you used to apply for the distribution license and I'll follow-up with the licensing team.  To send a private message, mouse-over my user name link and click the 'Message' button link.  For reference, please include a link to this discussion topic in your private message.

I don't work on Reader, but here is the Reader tech specs for your reference: System requirements for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

Hi,

You do not have to pay for the distribution license. There is only a single distribution license application irrespective of the OS and platform you need Flash Player for.

Thanks!

Hi jorke669049​,

For Adobe Reader related queries you can go to Acrobat Reader​ . We do not have much information about the same.

Thanks!
