Is Microsoft Silverlight a requirement for Laserfiche?

A client of ours has detected some vulnerabilities with Silverlight and is wondering if they can remove it from their LF servers. 

I recall seeing this install during a Laserfiche installation. 

Is this required for any Laserfiche modules to run? I do know that it seems to be needed for Connector, but don't see anything else mentioned for other modules. 

Hoping for a quick answer as they want to remove as soon as possible. 

 

Thanks

I don't recall any of our software ever requiring Silverlight, and I wouldn't expect any problems if you removed it. I'd be curious about what led them to the conclusion that it was installed as part of a Laserfiche product - it is possible that we install an unnecessary component.

I recently had a customer ask something similar. Turned out they had deployed Silverlight with some of their older standard Windows Server images - ones their Laserfiche system was installed on. We told them there certainly weren't any Laserfiche 11 components that required it and highly unlikely that any prior versions did either. Didn't hear about any issues post Silverlight removal.

Thank you for the clarification Samuel and Brian, I'll let them know it's safe to remove.
