We have Shockwave on about 100 systems here (of 400+), and we also have Flash Player on several systems. Flash, Shockwave, Reader, I'm getting proficient at pushing updates via SMS except the aforementioned uninstall of old Shockwave. 10.x I can find instructions for, 11.x I can't.
Now that I said that I'll get LMGTFY'd....

Flash Player is used by lots of websites, Shockwave not so much. I wouldn't expect to push Shockwave in a business environment, might even banish it altogether if possible. If it's Flash Player, I've noticed that 10e will replace or uninstall 10d, but prior to that, previous versions weren't removed. Removing the old one is as easy as deleting the flash10d.ocx or flash10c.ocx, etc. As a best practice you do want old insecure versions removed.

Pushing the new version via SMS is easy. Removing the old one...notsomuch...
