[UPDATE – Looking for a newer version? See the direct download links for Flash Player 11.]
In our tradition of providing the direct download links for major Adobe products such as Creative Cloud, CS6, Acrobat DC, Elements 2023, and Lightroom 6/CC, below you’ll find the DDL for the just-released new Adobe Flash Player 10.3 (final version). This is important because the free Flash Player is the most widely-used and often-downloaded software in world, and some folks find it easier to access offline without a download manager (Akamai or Adobe DLM), or with their own DLM, and without additional products or toolbars included.

What’s New in Flash Player 10.3?
Flash Player 10.3 improves stability, enhances security and user privacy protection, and provides new desktop video and audio capabilities for enterprises and developers.
Besides a dozen bug fixes, this release contains several new features and enhancements:
- Integration with Browser Privacy Controls – Users now have a simpler way to clear local storage (“Flash cookies”) from the browser settings interface – similar to how users clear their browser cookies today. These controls are integrated with the browser’s privacy settings in Firefox 4, IE 8 and higher, Chrome 11, and a future release of Apple Safari.
- Local Native Control Panel – Provides users with streamlined controls for managing their Flash Player privacy, security and storage settings. Windows, Mac, and Linux users can access the Flash Player Settings Manager directly from the Control Panels or System Preferences locally on their computers.
- Acoustic Echo Cancellation – Developers can take advantage of acoustic echo cancellation, noise suppression, voice activity detection, and automatic compensation for various microphone input levels. End-users will be able to experience higher quality audio facilitating smoother conversation flow, without using a headset.
- Media Measurement – Allows real-time, aggregated reporting of how their video content is distributed, what the audience reach is, and how much video is played.
- Auto-Update Notification for Mac OS – Supports automatic notification of software updates on Mac OS, making it easier for Mac users to stay current with new capabilities in the latest version of Flash Player.

» Adobe Flash Player Download Archives
For each previous release provided there (after the “Developers only” section), you will find direct download links to packages containing installers for both Internet Explorer (IE) browsers (labeled with “ax” for Active X), as well as non-IE browsers (Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc).
These installers are given for both Windows (.exe or .msi) and Mac OS (.dmg). Uninstallers are also included in the bundle.
(Note that the most recent version of Flash Player is automatically built in to the Google Chrome browser, so it doesn’t require a separate download.)

I was unable to download 10.3 or any of the Flash Players. 10.1, 10.2, 11.
All I get is the following:

The requested URL /pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_10_plugin.exe was not found on this server.
Sorry Mike, it looks like Adobe moved it on us… But we’ve fixed it above, and in fact made it even better.
Now you can access a complete archive of all previous releases of Flash Player, a list that provides direct download links for all prior versions (including versions 10.x and 11.x).
adobe flash player does not download
Hi Hassan,
As mentioned in the article, all the older FP versions are available in Adobe’s Flash Player Download Archives.
I can download, but it can’t install……why
As mentioned above re Download Archives. They really don’t work. Empty pages
Not sure why Paul – we just tested, and they definitely work (and download) fine for us…
Look for “Flash Player archives” on this page.
