Download Flashplayer WITHOUT downloading Adobe Stock

I am trying to download Flashplayer, but it is also making me download Adobe Stock for a free 30 day trial in order to do so. I don't want to put my card details in, nor do I want to sign up for Adobe Stock - how do I download it without doing this?! I have seen similar questions from last year on this topic and no clear answer on how to proceed without this. I do not want to disable my ad blockers.

Someone please help!

Thanks

Maria: you say it is an optional offer that displays after Flash is downloaded.  I have found that is not the case.  it still requires user to put credit card and address in before one may continue.  Not something I am willing to do at This time, for even if I cancel trial before any billing, my cc information is still on file.

Adobe is scamming for more user information to sell, as far as I can tell.

It IS optional. It is an extra offer, and you can just ignore it. Flash is ALREADY installed, so you can just stop.

I don't like the way it is arranged, but it is definitely not compulsory. Adobe isn't looking for info to sell, it's looking to get people to sign up for this service.

Hi harrietg28234793

Adobe Stock is an optional offering that displays on the Flash Player installation completion page.  If you're seeing this, Flash Player is installed.  What operating system and browser is this on?  Please provide a screenshot of the Flash Player Settings Manager Updates tab:

  • On Mac:  System Preferences > Flash Player > Updates tab
  • On Windows:  Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Flash Player > Updates tab

Thank you.

I checked. It's not there because it won't download without my credit card information. There is not a 'no thanks' dropdown box.

Hi,

Could you please share the link from where you are trying to download Flash Player. To download latest version of Flash Player go to Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions  page. There are some optional offers on the same page but none of the offers is mandatory.

Thanks!

This takes me to the same link as my worksite education did. The 3 step was that the 3rd step was to download Stock for a free 30 day trial and you have to give them your credit card information. Not helpful.

This is an optional offer that displays AFTER Flash Player has been installed.  If you're seeing this, Flash Player was installed.  Please provide the previously requested information (operating system and screenshot of the Flash Player Settings Manager Updates tab).

Also, please not that the various browser vendors disable Flash by default.  If you're not seeing Flash content, you most likely need to enable Flash in the browser. The tech note Flash Player Help contains links to instructions for enabling Flash on the various browsers.
