Description
Adobe no longer supports Flash Player after December 31, 2020, and blocked content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021.
PDM relied on Flash Player for the virtual front panel and configuration when using a web browser.
Several remedies exist that depend on the hardware inside your PDM. There is no way to tell from looking at your PDM what hardware platform you have.

Determining your Options
