Hello Techies,

We are getting flash error while laucncing content from Googl Chrome (Version 57.0.2987.110). where the Adobe flash player 27.0.0.154 is installed. Users keeps getting prompted for updated Flash or some unknown error during launching some content. 

We have also applied poilicies for "Allow Sites to run Flash". But we don't want to update the Google Chrome ,Flash version for some dependencies. Can you all please provide quick inputs on this. How can we fix this without updating these!

Thanks!!

The official Adobe announcement about Flash end-of-life, complete with links to each major browser vendor's roadmap is here:

If you're running Chrome in an Enterprise environment, you can leverage Chrome's administrative controls to disable their Flash blocking feature.  It's important understand that those controls offer a temporary reprieve, not a long-term solution.  You will definitely want to look at Google's roadmap for Flash and Chrome to understand your timeline and options.

You can find more information on those administrative controls over on Google's support site:

That said, you're going to need to develop some kind of strategy for longevity.

Adobe entered into a partnership with Harman to offer and maintain Flash to enterprise customers after 2020.  That might be an option for your organization. 

You can find more details on that partnership here, and would need to talk to Harman directly on pricing and options:
