Issue/Introduction
Is it ok to remove MS Silverlight? Please confirm that Web Viewer 12.1 does not require MS Silverlight on the server
Environment
Release : 12.1
Component : OUTPUT MANAGEMENT WEB VIEWER FOR ALL PLATFORMS
Resolution
OK to go ahead and remove Silverlight. Broadcom has nothing listed in our Web Viewer Supportability Matrix for it, and Broadcom Sustaining Engineering (SE) also didn't see any reason why removing Silverlight would impact Web Viewer.
