How can I deactivate Photoshop CS2 on an old Mac?

I tried to deactivate Photoshop CS2 on my old Mac by using the "Transfer Activation" command on the Help menu. (There is no "Deactivate" command.) Photoshop never recognizes that I do have a connection to the Internet, so I cannot proceed. Is there a way to Deactivate on this computer?

Forget about it.
The CS2 activation server was shut down by Adobe a couple of years ago. So you're trying to communicate with a server which no longer exists.
Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
If you're planning to re-install CS2 on a new Mac, that won't work since CS2 is a PowerPC application which will not install or run on modern Intel-based Macs running newer versions of OS X.

  • How can I deactivate Photoshop Elements 5.0 on hard drive that will not boot?

    I have Elements 5.0 loaded on a hard drive which will no longer boot. I have a new hard drive and can access the old drive as an extra internal hard drive. I cannot use Photoshop, so I was thinking I need to deactivate the copy loaded on the old hard drive and reload it on the new hard drive. Is this the best solution? If so, how do I deactivate? When I start up the editor, it does not have an option for deactivating as I read about in another post. Under the help menu, there is a grayed out option for Registration. After a few seconds, a window appears saying there is a problem with my serial number and the application closes.  Also, I would like to load Photoshop on a laptop later, so I do not want to waste one of my allowable loads. I would appreciate any help.

    Yes, as long as you don't have it on more than two computers at once you're in compliance with the license. (Back in the days of PSE 5 adobe worked more on the honor system.)

  • How can I reactivate Photoshop CS2?

    My computer was upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and the helpdesk-guy who did this forgot to remove the old registration for my Photoshop CS2. Now I am trying to re-activate the program and it does not accept my activation. What to do?

    Hi StinaS,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    The activation server for CS2 products is no longer available.
    Please refer to the below article.

  • Can i install photoshop cs2 on a new mac?

    hi, i have a new MBP and wish to install Photoshop CS2 but i am having issues.
    i am running OS X 10.9.4. Does anyone know how i can install it?
    i can't really justify the price of the full new version of Photoshop for the amount i use it so the free old version is perfect for me. Unless anyone has a cheap Adobe alternative?
    Regards,
    Joe

    Adobe CS2 is not Free Software you need a licence to run it legally
    System Requirements for Photoshop CS2
    by Shea Laverty, Demand Media
    While Adobe Photoshop CS2 was released in May 2005, its age may make it an appealing target to businesses -- as of the date of publication, CS2 is still an adequate product for most basic business needs and may be available second-hand for considerably less than the price of purchasing the latest version. Because there are few modern computer systems incapable of running this system, prospective owners should check their system against the minimum requirements before purchase and installation.
    Processor
    Windows users looking to install Photoshop CS2 will need at least an Intel Xeon, Xeon Dual, Centrino, Pentium III, Pentium 4 or comparable CPU in order to run the program. Mac users will need at least a G3, G4 or G5 PowerPC processor.

  • How do I install Photoshop CS2 on a new Mac desktop ?

    I have not used my Photoshop CS2 for a few years;   I used to have it on my PC and It loaded and worked fine-   But I had a lot of trouble  between PC and viruses, and so now,   I have chosen an Apple Mac desktop. I have had it for about a week now. The prolem however is that the programme does not seam to load , do I need to go back to using a PC ?  Or is there a way that I can install CS2 on my new Mac?   When I put the disc in the Drive the CS2Disk appears; when I double click on it ; the window showing the folders opens;  and that is where I am stuck. ps the software is original. I am A pensioner and a Fine artist can you help me. also the photoshop logo does not appear on the desktop.

    No way.
    a) PC software doesn't run on Macs.
    b) that being the case, you would have to switch paltforms but
    c) Adobe only offers it for current versions (Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap)
    d) even if it were possible, CS2 doesn't run on any modern Mac because Apple have long removed PPC code as used by that version
    This is not going anywhere for a number of reasons as you see. You will have to come up with something else like getting  a current version of PS Elements, signing up for Creative Cloud or using free software like GIMP, if you realyl don't want to spend any money.

  • How can I deactivate Photoshop Elements 12 on my current computer so that I can re-install it on a new computer ?

    Photoshop Elements 12 is currently installed on a a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with Windows 7 64 bits and I wish to deactivate it in order to re-install it on a much bigger/powerful machine.
    I found no indication whatsoever on Adobe site for this question. The chain of questions on the site keeps taking me round and round until I reached this forum, which is where I started from !!!
    Can somebody tell me how this can be done ?
    Please DO NOT tell me to follow the path of questions until I get somewhere : this is juest what I have been doing for half an hour !!!

    Many thanks Brian !
    Quick reply, simple process (two clicks). Why is it so difficult to find the answer ? Too simple ?
    As a matter of fact it is a question of vocabulary : “sign out” and “deactivate” is NOT AT ALL  the same thing (I’ve been  for many years an editor of English versions of international standards and regulations, and happen to know what words mean ). All the more as I have just discovered in the “Uninstall” process that the word “deactivate” is used https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/uninstall-premiere-elements-photoshop-elemen ts.html
    In French (my language), the Help menu reads “Deconnecter” which means something like “exit” or “sign out”. For me it meant either “leave the programm” or “disconnect from the help service”. Anyhow, it’s not an option you would use not knowing what the result would be : there is no suspension point on that line.
    And the Help answer on Adobe’s site (in French) reads :
    “Si vous souhaitez installer le logiciel sur un troisième ordinateur, désactivez-le sur l’ordinateur sur lequel vous n’allez plus l’utiliser. Ensuite, activez le logiciel sur le nouvel ordinateur.”
    It does not use the word in the menu (déconnecter = disconnect).
    Approximations like this could be a matter of life and death . In a french movie dramatizing the war in Algeria “L’honneur d’un Capitaine”, soldiers uphill in the mountains radio their captain – in the valley - to let him know they have captured the man they were looking for. He just says “Descendez-le”, which means “bring him down” or “Shoot him”. He meant of course “Bring him down”. The man was shot to death.
    It looks like no one on the forum know the real answer. Do you think you could help correct this ? A simple phrase like : “check (or look up) uninstall process” would do.
    Regards
    Dominique
