IE Mode - Flash End of Support

Question

I'm still not fully understanding what's happening with Edge at the end of the year. It will be disabled by default at the end of the year but can run it in IE Mode until the summer of 2021? Is that correct? Is there steps we can do to recreate what will be happening?

@Brown, Brian ,

As per this document, if we refer to the point Options for continued support for enterprise customers. It is mentioned that

For enterprises seeking assistance with moving away from Adobe Flash Player or needing continued support for line of business applications that may be dependent on it after 2020, Adobe is providing some support options. For more details, please visit the blog posted by Adobe.

To aid such customers, Microsoft Edge will allow Adobe Flash Player to load as a plug-in via the Internet Explorer mode feature. Inherently, Internet Explorer 11 will also allow this. Once you make the switch from Microsoft provided Adobe Flash Player, it will be treated as any other third-party plug-in and will not receive Customer Support from Microsoft.

So as per the document, it looks like if you are an enterprise customer then you can choose the option to use the flash as a plug-in otherwise it will be disabled.
