Global Notifications Settings panel missing

Hi,

We use to have "Global Notifications Settings panel" in settings manager to notify users about the update. When packaging application for deployment we uncheck the notify update by copying settings.sol to all users and future user template preferences(/Users/$user/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol). Last few days we are not able to find "Global Notifications Settings panel" in the settings manager.

We get the following error "The requested URL /support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.html was not found on this server." in the settings manager URL.

We use mms.cfg to disable autoupdate in Flash Player System preferences. Do we still need to use settings.sol file to suppress the Notify option in "Global Notifications Settings panel" or leave it since the "Global Notifications Settings panel" is not available?

OS X 10.10.2

Adobe Flash Player 17.0.0.134

Thanks & Regards,

Karthikeyan

    Hi Karthikeyan,

    The update tab of the online settings manager (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.html‌) was recently removed.  You should no longer need to check for this.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Thanks for the reply Chris.

    So we don't need settings.sol to disable the user notification only mms.cfg will suppress all the update options?

    Thanks & Regards,

    That's correct!  Just deploy the mms.cfg and you're set.
