I need to install Flash player on multiple machines that do not have unrestricted access to the internet. Are their any offline installations can that can be downloaded to install the program on the machines without requiring an internet connection?

    Based on your original post my guess is an assumption was made that you wanted to distribute Flash Player within your organization (this would have been my assumption as well) This is the main reason customers ask for the offline installers.  This is why you were asked to submit a request for a distribution license.  If you have connection issues, and systems that are not connected to the internet, the offline installers are posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows 7 and earlier  page in the 'Still having problems' section.  Note that as of Windows 8, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE (and Edge on Windows 10) and all Flash Player updates for IE/Edge on Windows 8.1 and above come from Microsoft via Windows Update, which means the only way to update Flash Player for IE/Edge on Windows 8.1 and above is to run Windows Update, which requires an internet connection.

    Is there a cost involved in this? I'm simply looking to install flash from an offline installer rather than the online one due to the connection issues. Do i really need a licence to do this? Also why do I have to provide my company details as I simply want to use this for personal use.
