Archived Flash Players available for testing purposes

These archived versions of Flash Player are available specifically for Flash developers who are assessing their sites from the perspective of users with different versions of Flash Player. For regular use, download the most current version of Flash Player, which is available from the Flash Player Download Center.

For more information on removing and installing 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 Flash Player.
