I might be over thinking this but when the smart client goes away how will you configure the edge agent. It currently requires pointing to the Config file and the exe file. If those don’t exist anymore after the client goes away how will edge be setup.

It will still work. The only thing it needs is AppServer URL.

This is a quote from Tim Shoemaker last week about this topic.
The edge agent is still available for 2026, but it will no longer have the ability to launch the smart client… basically because the smart client will no longer exist. The PowerTools client will be there, so the four apps embedded in the power tools (such as Advance Print Routing, and Epicor Functions) may still be launchable via edge agent (last I heard).
BUT remember that the edge agent is NOT required at all once you are in the browser. it simply makes it a simpler path to print to local client and allows for drag and drop of attachments. If you dont have the edge agent, you can still do attachments and printing, but it requires extra steps. (But you CAN print to Network printers without edge agent).

EA is used only for client side file attachments. Drag n Drop is not relevant in its case
