You can test your software on a computer that does not have the Flash plugin installed - if it runs, then you don't need the Flash plugin installed!

If it's simply a projector .exe that's running .swf content, then I think it should be fine without the Flash plugin.
An Adobe AIR .exe may need the Flash plugin, depending on how it's been packaged.

Remember Windows 10 cannot be used for this test. Windows 10 includes Flash Player as a system component and it cannot be removed. However after 2020 we expect that Microsoft will remove it.

Adobe will stop distributing Flash Player and browser vendors will stop supporting Flash Player (plugins will not work) at the end of December 2020.

Adobe anounced Flash Player's end-of-life in July 2017 - https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/. All supported browser vendors made similar announcements at the same time. Links to their announcments are included in Adobe's announcement.

Both Google and Mozilla have been transparent in publicizing their Flash road-map for their respective browsers:

Thanks Maria,

I just one to rephrase my question. Our software runs with executable file .exe which in turn uses .swf files. On any desktop, it runs well without having Flash Player. So will the application still be functional post Dec 2020 or not?
