Hello,

I'm currently working on security compliancy topic. In order to check that lastest Adobe Flash is installed within our corporate network, I need to know what is the current lastest version for Flash.

As wget from Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions  doesn't seem to work, I'm wondering if Adobe has some kind of API in order to check the last version of a product.

Thanks,

We have this file, which you can use in your scripts to find the latest versions available:

https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/masterversion/masterversion.xml

If you get a chance, take a look at page 7 of our admin guide for additional information.

Hi Chris:

There is a problem with the link to the admin guide - even after fixing the break in the line.  Also, as well as determining if Flash Player is available, I need to determine if it is enabled.  Can you help?  I assume that the xml file is referred to after you use the userAgent to determine the browser version?

Thanks,

Hi,

You are commenting on an old post. To get the latest admin guide, please refer to Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection page. To see if Flash Player is enabled, refer to Step 5 on Flash Player Help page.

Thanks!
