Flash Player installers available after end-of-life?

[Ross.Marc]

Hi there, just curious if the Flash Player installers/archives will still be available after Flash hits end-of-life to end-users?

Adobe have not said and won’t be drawn, so it is safest to assume they will be gone forever (since nobody else will have the legal right to distribute them).

No they will not.  See https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html for more information

It would be a terrible idea to continue using Flash after we stop maintaining it and publishing security updates.  Most major browsers will remove the plug-in facilities that Flash requires to run, so you'd require the doubly terrible configuration of outdated browser + outdated Flash, which is generally just a recipe for pain.  😄
