How do I enable Flash 11.2 in Chrome?

I'm trying to force Chrome to use Flash 11.2 rather than the packaged Pepper version because it doesn't support DRM and I want to be able to use Amazon Instant Video/HBO GO. I followed Adobe's instructions to a tee but when I restart Chrome and view the plugins, the Pepper flash version is still the only one available. I have expanded the details and am certain I have not just missed the other version. I checked the directories where the files were being copied to verify that it worked and it appears that they successfully copied without issue. Unfortunately, since I didn't run into any problems until finding that it just didn't work, I don't have many other details that might help shed some light on this. I'm crossing my fingers though and hoping that someone else might have had some experience with this. Thanks in advance.

Version Info

Ubuntu - 14.04

Chrome - 35.0.1916.114

Flash I'm trying to install - 11.2.202.359

Flash packaged with Chrome (Pepper) - 13.0.0.214

You can no longer get stock Flash 11.2 on Chrome because Chrome use the PEPPER plugin system, and the stock Flash Plugin is a NPAPI plugin. Google ended NPAPI support in April due to security liability's. I recommend Opera as its based on Chrome and it supports NPAPI
