Just for completeness, you should only run the latest available version of Flash Player.  I don't work on Reader, but I imagine that the same applies there.  If you're running software where it's primary job is to process inherently untrusted content (your browser, operating system, browser plug-ins, email clients, video players, etc.), you definitely want to stay updated.

These are both end of life. This means nobody will test or report compatibility. Both products have unfixed security issues and should not be used in any situation.  The current versions are free. Flash player is to be discontinued soon.
