ADOBE FLASH PLAYER EOL GENERAL INFORMATION

UPDATED: January 13, 2021

Since Adobe no longer supports Flash Player after December 31, 2020 and blocked
Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021, Adobe
strongly recommends all users immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect
their systems.

Some users may continue to see reminders from Adobe to uninstall Flash Player
from their system. See below for more details on how to uninstall Flash Player.


WHEN IS THE FLASH PLAYER END-OF-LIFE (EOL)?

Adobe stopped supporting Flash Player beginning December 31, 2020 (“EOL Date”),
as previously announced in July 2017.


WHY DID ADOBE DECIDE TO EOL FLASH PLAYER AND SELECT THE END OF 2020 DATE?

Open standards such as HTML5, WebGL, and WebAssembly have continually matured
over the years and serve as viable alternatives for Flash content. Also, major
browser vendors are integrating these open standards into their browsers and
deprecating most other plug-ins (like Flash Player). See Flash Player EOL
announcements from Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla.

By providing more than three years’ advance notice, Adobe believes that there
has been sufficient time for developers, designers, businesses, and other
parties to migrate Flash content to new standards. The EOL timing was in
coordination with some of the major browser vendors.


WHAT DOES FLASH PLAYER EOL MEAN?

After the EOL Date, Adobe will not issue Flash Player updates or security
patches. Adobe strongly recommends immediately uninstalling Flash Player. To
help secure your system, Adobe blocked Flash content from running in Flash
Player beginning January 12, 2021. Major browser vendors have disabled and will
continue to disable Flash Player from running.


WHY SHOULD I UNINSTALL FLASH PLAYER FROM MY SYSTEM?

Flash Player may remain on your system unless you uninstall it. Uninstalling
Flash Player will help secure your system since Adobe will not issue Flash
Player updates or security patches after the EOL Date. Adobe blocked Flash
content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021 and the major
browser vendors have disabled and will continue to disable Flash Player from
running after the EOL Date.


HOW DO I UNINSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER?

Click “Uninstall” when prompted by Adobe, or follow these manual uninstall
instructions for Windows and Mac users.


WHY IS ADOBE BLOCKING FLASH CONTENT FROM RUNNING IN FLASH PLAYER BEGINNING
JANUARY 12, 2021?

Since Adobe is no longer supporting Flash Player after the EOL Date, Adobe
blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021 to
help secure your system. Flash Player may remain on your system unless you
uninstall it.


WHICH BROWSERS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS CURRENTLY SUPPORT ADOBE FLASH PLAYER?

Browsers and operating systems that support Flash Player continue to decrease so
Adobe strongly recommends immediately uninstalling Flash Player.

Apple Safari version 14, released for macOS in September 2020, no longer loads
Flash Player or runs Flash content. Please visit Apple’s Safari support for more
information.

Please visit http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html for the
latest list of Flash-supported browsers and operating systems.


WILL ADOBE MAKE PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF ADOBE FLASH PLAYER AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD
AFTER 2020?

No. Adobe has removed Flash Player download pages from its site. Adobe blocked
Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021.


IF I FIND FLASH PLAYER AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD ON A THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE, SHOULD I
USE IT?

You should not use unauthorized versions of Flash Player. Unauthorized downloads
are a common source of malware and viruses.


WILL ADOBE PROVIDE SECURITY UPDATES FOR FLASH PLAYER AFTER THE EOL DATE?

Adobe will not issue Flash Player updates or security patches after the EOL
Date. Adobe strongly recommends uninstalling Flash Player immediately.

GENERAL INFORMATION

 * You are in control of your data.
   
   You can control how Adobe websites use cookies and similar technologies by
   making choices below. But note that if you disable cookies and similar
   technologies entirely, Adobe websites may not function properly.

 * What are cookies and why does Adobe use them?
   
   Cookies are small text files stored by your web browser when you use
   websites. There are also other technologies that can be used for similar
   purposes like HTML5 Local Storage and local shared objects, web beacons, and
   embedded scripts. These technologies help us do things like remembering you
   and your preferences when you return to our sites, measure how you use the
   website, conduct market research, and gather information about the ads you
   see and interact with.

 * How do I make choices?
   
   You can make choices in the menu below about what cookies and other
   technologies you want us to use on Adobe sites when you visit them from this
   browser. You can always change those choices later by clicking on the Cookie
   Preferences link at the bottom of the page.




IF ENABLED:

 * We can improve your experience by tailoring the site and the content to
   things we think might be of interest
 * We can better keep track of your preferences — like what language you prefer
   to use
 * We will better understand your likely interests so we can provide you more
   relevant Adobe ads and content on non-Adobe websites and in non-Adobe apps
 * It will help us improve the performance of our website and those of our
   partners who use the Adobe Experience Cloud


IF DISABLED:

 * We won’t be able to remember you from session to session so the experience
   may not be tailored to your interests
 * You’ll still have access to the content of the site but certain features that
   depend on cookies may not function
 * You’ll still see ads, they just may not be as relevant to you
