How to use HTML5 version of Neverfail Engine Management Service (EMS) UI instead FlashPlayer version
Summary
This Knowledge base article provides information about using the HTML5 version of the Neverfail EMS (centralized web console) instead of FlashPlayer version as FlashPlayer is end-of-life and no longer working.
More Information
The EMS web console is the main tool used for deployments/installations and normal daily control of Neverfail Continuity Engine. Most routine operations can be performed from the EMS User Interface thereby providing a lightweight, easily accessible, method of conducting Neverfail Continuity Engine operations.
HTML5 version of the EMS UI looks like in the screenshot below.
If you are already having EMS version 8.5 Update 7 then you already have the HTML5 version (with limited features) available. To access the HTML5 version you simply need to add /web-ui expression at the end of the address bar in your browser. Please note that you will need to change the ems_ip with the actual IP of the server hosting the EMS.

On the other hand, to mitigate the Flash Player EOL, we have released the new Engine 2021 (version 9.0) which includes the fully featured HTML5 interface for EMS. You can download the new version 9.0 from here: https://support.neverfail.com/portal/en/kb/articles/neverfail-continuity-engine and to start using it for managing your existing clusters of Neverfail Continuity Engine because EMS console is backwards compatible. For this you simply need to do an in-place upgrade of your current EMS, as per page 41 of the install guide available here: https://download.neverfail.com/Product/downloads/engine/v9-0/doc/Neverfail-CE-9-0-Installation-Guide.pdf
Note: upgrading the EMS is enough to have the new HTML5 UI available, upgrading Engine on the protected servers is not a must.
Important: If you want to also upgrade Neverfail Continuity Engine to version 9.0 on the protected servers (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary), please note that in version 9.0 Neverfail has changed the licensing model to a subscription-based model. For more details about this, please contact your Neverfail account owner.
