This was covered a while back on comp.lang.ada:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.ada/QQ4dGkoskZc

Here is an outside-of-AdaCore source for A# that was last updated in 2013:

only GPLv2 license without any offer for a nonGPL nonviral license by paying a fee, hence only for copylefted software:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/asharp
and its commentary from its main progenitor, Dr. Martin Carlisle:
http://asharp.martincarlisle.com

AdaCore's old WWW-page regarding their unmaintained support for A#: 
http://docs.adacore.com/gnatvm-docs/dotgnat_ug.html

(If AdaCore still supports A# via nonGPL license for a fee for non-copylefted software, that fee is likely to be substantial:  on the order of some fraction of an engineer's salary.)

Latest public GPL versions (2013 for JVM, 2014 for .NET) are here:

Current commercially supported targets are here:

which interestingly includes iOS and Android. I've often wondered who is using these.
