I heard there was a link to uninstall the previous version of Flash Player and install a new one, the EOL, that cannot be deacivated by Windows. This is critical for our work visualization tool to keep on functioning as based on Flash.

Can you tell me what is the link and what are the steps to follow to download it successfully?

    There is no new Flash Player to downlowad.  Whomever provided this information was incorrect.

     

    For completeness:

    Adobe announced Flash Player's end-of-life in July 2017, three and a half years ago, giving content creators, programmers, developers and IT experts over 3 years to migrate their Flash content to a different technology. 

      

    For reference:

     

    Major browser vendors are deprecating Flash Player support.  For details specific to each vendor, please refer to:

     

    For users attempting to view Flash content, contact the content creators and inquire about their plans to migrate their content to some other technology.

     

    For enterprises dependent on Flash Player, please refer to the Enterprise end-of-life FAQ: 

     

    Enterprise Enablement may be an option until such time all browser’s remove support for Flash.  Technical details can be found in the Flash Player Admin Guide, pages 28-35):

    EOL means "end of life". That means it is gone. It is not a code for a replacement, there is no replacement. I suggest you contact the makers of your work visualisation tool to find what they will sell as an alternative.
