Issue/Introduction

Is it ok to remove MS Silverlight?  Confirm that Web Viewer 12.1 does not require MS Silverlight on the server.

Environment

  • Output Management Web Viewer 12.1
  • Microsoft Silverlight

Resolution

OK to go ahead and remove Silverlight. Broadcom has nothing listed in our Web Viewer Supportability Matrix for it, and Broadcom Sustaining Engineering  also didn't see any reason why removing Silverlight would impact Web Viewer.
