You can license a maintained copy of Flash Player from our support partner HARMAN.  They can also help with options for distributing applications that depend on Flash as a standalone binary.

 

Details are in the enterprise FAQ, here:

So, spend a few tens of millions of dollars and you could have a Flash Player (not exclusive rights). Of course, Google, Apple, Microsoft and the others will still block it, so your purchase may be pretty useless.

Nowadays, you can create any Flash stuff with HTML5 and WebGL, which are far safer alternatives. It makes no sense to keep Flash itself and/or the Flash Player alive.

Can we use HTML5 and WebGL to access the content on old websites which used Flash?

No - the contet provider would need to migrate their Flash content to some other technology.  Nothing th end-user can do.

Not likely.   Don't throw good money after bad.  Save it or put it towards something beneficial like finding cures for diseases.
