Archived Flash Players for testing purposes

Archived versions of Flash Player let Flash developers assess their sites with different versions of the player. For regular use, download the most current version of Flash Player, which is available from the Flash Player Download Center.

Uninstalling: For more information on removing Flash Player, see "How to uninstall the Flash plug-in and ActiveX Control" (TechNote tn_14157). We recommend that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player.

Switching between versions: If you need to switch between Flash Player versions, see "Installation issues when switching between release and debugger versions during development and testing" (TechNote 4da116d3).
