What is Adobe AIR?

Adobe AIR is a runtime environment or runtime engine developers use to develop cross-platform Rich Internet Applications. It uses the concept of a virtual machine and allows developers to take advantage of each operating system's capabilities.

What Happened to Adobe AIR? Can I Still Install It?

You can continue to use Adobe AIR applications if you have the version installed on your computer. As of June 2019, Adobe transitioned platform support and feature development of AIR to HARMAN.

Adobe provided essential security support – limited to security fixes only for desktop platforms (Windows 7 and above and Mac OS X) – for Adobe AIR v32 until 2020.

After that time, Adobe support for AIR was discontinued. Since then, HARMAN has managed the ongoing support for AIR support on both mobile and desktop platforms – including bug fixes, platform compatibility, and new and improved functionality.

Why Transfer Adobe AIR to Another Computer?

You may have installed Adobe AIR on your system. If you have done so, Adobe AIR is the platform that runs RIAs.

RIAs are rich internet applications, which means they're built for the web. They can be anything from games to photo-editing apps, music players, and shopping carts. Adobe Media Player, ImageDropr, FlickrFlipper, and many other well-known RIAs use Adobe AIR as their platform to run correctly.

If you want to keep using such applications on your new computer and keep them updated with the latest versions available online, you need Adobe AIR on both computers. Suppose you're transferring your old computer to the new one or upgrading your old one.

In that case, it's essential to uninstall Adobe AIR from your old computer before proceeding with the transfer. You will not be able to run such applications on the new computer without installing or reinstalling them with their dependencies.
