In an enterprise, it is common to have hetergenous environments like 'IVE', 'OnTheGo', each employee could have different version of browser, different java or Flash plugins. In such environment, it is difficult to ensure that the application(starting 5.8.5 Flash is used) or content that is created by different vendors runs properly.
From 5.8.5, LMS introduces a nice feature called "Software Checker" to address this. This checks for the browser and plugin compatibility and alerts the user about it and also helps them in downloading the required version of software.
By default, the software checker does not check for users' version of Flash Player. You can turn on Flash Player checking by updating the PS_SUPPORTED_SOFTWARE table. Customers should change the ACTIVE flag to Y where SOFTWARE_NAME = Flash. This causes the software checker to check for browsers' versions of Flash Player.
You can also turn the checker completely off for users and administrators in Talent Management Administrator. Go to: System Admin > Configuration > Global Variables > Enable Software Check for [admin/user].
