My lab is already at 6.7 Update 3k but the Flash client is still there and accessible (you will get a depreciated notification in a banner). The workaround I’m going to look at today is to create a custom mms.cfg file.

However a lot of people live in the real world where they just haven’t planned, ran out of time, or can’t upgrade to a version that resolves this issue. The real fix to this problem is to upgrade your vSphere environment to at least 6.7 Update 1 as I keep seeing people berate people on Twitter, Reddit, etc. VMware have published KB78589 - VMware Flash End of Life and Supportability that details what you can do. If you are running for example vCenter 6.5 how do you access the legacy Flash client? Let’s look at what you can do. However if you are using vCenter 6.7 Update 1 or earlier not all features in vCenter have made it to the HTML5 client. This is great news as Flash is a bad product that was inefficient, insecure and legacy. As of January 2021 Adobe Flash is now End of Life.
