Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
F-you, Adobe.
I guess we'll have to have an enterprise person "leak" ESR to the public after that point in time then...

Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
This doesn't sound good. So, if I'm reading this right, after January 22nd, 2016, ESR of Flash will not be available for the general public.

Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
Where on the Adobe-page do they mention ESR ?
Adobe says:
I have done that for years without looking at the "Adobe Flash Player Distribution"-page,
in fact i actually didn´t know the page existed until last year...
So unless Adobe "decommissions" that page too, it should not be any problem to get the ESR-versions.
Update: I have edited the post and added a live link to the "Archived Flash Player versions" page.

All versions are available on that page...If your operating system/browser combination is not displayed, refer to the Archived Flash Player versions page.

Adobe Flash Player ESR Download
Today I went to the Adobe Flash Player site to download the latest version of Flash Player ESR. When I went to the site, it has a warning at the top saying:
"WARNING This page and the download links will be decommissioned on January 22nd, 2016."
"If you are not an enterprise user, please visit get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download Adobe Flash Player for your system."
"Enterprise users must have a valid license to download and distribute Adobe Flash Player binaries. Instructions and further details can be found at http://www.adobe.com/products/players/f ... ution.html.
Does anyone have any information on how to download the ESR version of Flash Player after this takes effect?
It seems they are trying to (unnecessarily) complicate getting the full downloads for Flash Player.

Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
Is there an open-source alternative to Adobe Flash that works consistently to display flash video?
Last I heard, which was admittedly a long time ago, the open-source solutions were very buggy and inconsistent, and I would assume that they probably stopped having as much, if any, time and energy from people devoted to developing and maintaining them once it became obvious that Flash was going to be a rarely used obsolete format in the next few years from an average home Internet user standpoint.
However, it might be worth looking into to double check. If something works and is being maintained, that could be a way around this issue for Pale Moon, if I understand the implications of Adobe's decision correctly (I may be misunderstanding things).

Look under the section Flash Player archives
Release and Content Debugger archives
(Released 11/10/2015) Flash Player 11.2.202.548 (32.43 MB)
(Released 11/10/2015) Flash Player 18.0.0.261 (184 MB)
On the second line, 18.0.0.261 is the latest ESR....

Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
The way is sounded you guys, to me, was like they were going to close off the distribution download page for the general public and only members/enterprise users would be the only ones available for it.
So am I right?

Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
I think it would be safe to assume that somebody on TPB will upload copies of Flash ESR.
Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
You are correct. How it works now is flash's distribution4 uses a query with a GUID in it that only allows authorized users access. If the URL with the GUID in it is leaked.. Then they know who was the weak link and ostensibly would be punished by being locked out and blackballed from it forever.
Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
Whatever that is (content debugger version?) it's not the ESR. The ESR is 17 MB. That file is over 10 times the size.hackerman1 wrote:Go to Archived Flash Player versionsLunix wrote:Please point out where the ESR versions are on that page.hackerman1 wrote:All versions are available on that page...If your operating system/browser combination is not displayed, refer to the Archived Flash Player versions page.

Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
I won't quote anything if that makes you happy.
That link is not a good replacement for what Adobe is taking away. A 184 MB download every time they update would be a burden.
However, if one person would d/l the big file and then extract the ESR for hosting on this website for PM users. I have no idea if Adobe allows such a thing.

Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
This is complete bullshit. I "need" to be able to download the standalone installer. Whenever I install a PC for someone, I automate the process as much as I can to keep my sanity, and having to install stuff manually is pain in the ass. Besides, I hate the web installer with passion.
Re: Adobe Flash ESR to be Enterprise only soon.
You can always apply for the dist program.
