Adobe Flash end of support 2020 - WING GUI 5.9.x/7.x

[Raul_Carbonari]

There is a GUI migration plan based on FLASH for other technologies such as HTML5 before the end of support by Adobe and most browsers in Dec / 2020. Or we will suffer the same type of nightmare that exists with JAVA-based GUIs that were never updated again.

Hello,

December 2020 is here without any updates about any ETA for GUI update. 

The Wing Manager (that not working) is seems as amateur repair for BIG issue for enterprise networks in 2021. Very disappointing.

Any updates?

Hi all,

With just over a month until Flash is EOL, do we have any feedback on the HTML5 version or other ie WING Man

This is pretty important especially with, I believe, WIndows10 about to actively uninstall Flash…

ps I just installed WINGMan 1.0.1 and upon connecting all I get is a blank window?? After relaunching I see that address still in previous connections but still unable to connect..

Have you seen, WING Manager (WING Man) has been released….an encapsulated Chrome browser with enabled Flash Plugin to manage WING Devices untill there is an HTML5 GUI for them.

I have a feeling that we will not see the HTML5 GUI before Flash is retired…..

Hi Tcheurby,

I believe if you asked local SEs it might be possible to get some roadmap details.

GUI change is going to be rather a single shot instead of a process and I don’t even consider such a big company to not take care of such a fundamental issue. Still 5 months to go, let’s give them some more time. 😉 Extreme has put itself under a huge stress with all recent acquisitions and a challenge to squeeze the best juice out of every single acquired thing and drive the evolution of market/tech strategy. I’d love to have HTML5 sooner but seems they focused on other tasks first. And OTOH, it could be looking as it looks now even with HTML5. 😉 BTW I’ve seen couple of VMware servers that had an upgrade to migrate from Flash very recently (I mean the production servers, not update release date).

Cheers,

Tomasz
