    You must download and install the CS2 version provided by Adobe and you must use the new serial number provided by Adobe.

  • Adobe CS2 Installation,  activation and using

    Adobe Sucks!  Now that I have got that out of my system! Yes it is my Fault!  Here is the problem.
    Adobe makes great products that are over priced.  (Creative Suites-$2500.00 Retail even upgrades)
    CS2, Yes it is an older version.  Still is a fine product.  Original computer that had CS2 installed, finally bit the dust and went to Electronic waste recycle.  New computer (Windows XP Sp3-Got Windows XP just to run Adobe CS2)
    Installation of SW completed wiht no errors.  Installation activation complete with no errors.  Run In Design - "Personalize Your Software" window appears and asks for input of serial number.  Input serial number (as on Box, CD, etc.) error message states "Serial number entered is not Valid. Please check and re-enter"  It is correct and valid serial number.  program closes.  When runing Photoshop first screen appears with error box stating "Photo Shop can not find valid Serial Number"  Same serial number entered during installation and activation of software package.  Called Adobe on phone - on hold for 1.5 hours listening to elevator music.  Contacted on line chat for help.  They said that the problem could be resolved only  on the phone.  Called on  phone again.  This time was able to talk to Adobe Technical Rep.  All I heard was "CS2 is to old and not supported by Adobe".  Buy a new package ($2,500.00) again.  No discount for upgrade.  No on line Adobe support, No phone Adobe support, Sorry for the inconvience Adobe Support.  Can anyone help make Adobe CS2 work?  or Do I throw it away and write off Adobe as a Software company and find someone else?

    Jungle Rot please see Error: "...user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid..." when you start Photoshop (CS2 on Windows) - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-user-name-organization-or.html.  There are several steps which should help you solve for this issue.

  • How do I uninstall old "activation required CS2" if I don't have "Adobe Installer" in my utilities?

    I was unable to uninstall/install the old "activation required CS2" for the new "non-activation required CS2" via chat.
    We got to the step where I would uninstall but "Adobe Installer" wasn't in my utilities, and they sent me here.
    I would also need a link to the "non- activation required CS2" download, please.
    The deal is I want to move to a new computer. My new computer has no disc drive. I want to be able to use my CS2 on it.

  • Adobe CS2 Premium - How to I transfer my serial number from a PC that is broken to a new PC?

    My old PC has died and I have loaded my Adobe CS2 Premium software onto my new computer. When I try to activate the serial number Adobe sends me a message that I can only activate the serial number on one computer. How can I change the serial number registration to my new computer when the old one is broken and I cannot deactivate it?

    Your own copy of CS2 will not be able to be activated.  You need to acquire a special version that has a special serial number.  See the following for more information and to get the installation files.

  • Unable to install Adobe CS2 Premium on Windows OS 7. How do I fix this ?

    I am unable to install Adobe CS2 Premium on Windows OS 7. My discs require activation but do install to the OS. The non-activation version recommended gives the error message that" this version is not compatible wih OS" and will not install.
    Thanks, Liz

    Hi Issieoo,
    Though you may install Cs2 on Windows but you may face performace issue. Please find the System Requirement for installing for one of the CS2 product: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html . However I would recommend you to purchase the new CC realease with more enhanced functionalities and features.

  • I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

    I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

    Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
    Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
    Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see.

    Hello, I use MAC AIR OSX 10.6.8 and have Adobe CS2, that I was using 2 years ago on my older computer. I stopped using it because it would close down in the middle of work. Now I would like to reinstall it on the MacAir but I can not get it working. It tells Adobe doesnT support my System. But I can not update my old version or activate it. What can I do?

    The mac you want to install photoshop cs2 on is running mac os x 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
    (photoshop cs2 won't run on intel macs with mac os x newer than snow leopard)
    Did you ever have cs2 installed on this particular computer before?
    If the problem is that you already installed cs2, but it won't activate, that's because adobe took the activation servers offline for some older adobe products such as cs2.
    You'll need to use the non activation version of cs2 from here and the supplied serial number:

  • Since The Security Update, my Adobe CS2 software will not function properly.  Is it common with everyone?

    I am having issues trying to run my adobe cs2 programs cause it says there is a disk error and will crash when I go to save something.  All this occurred after I made my firmware update for the security as of tonight, and earlier in the daytime, it was functioning propperly.

    Simmilar problems.Indesign CS3 crashes if I try to place anything or save. Freehand 10 crashes if I try to place, export or save as, though I have managed to save some files. It seems just about anything that accesses the disc crashes these apps now, apart from simply opening the files. Some Freehand files wo'nt even open now, crashing as soon as the app starts up. These are all documents with placed content, again necessitating more disc activity I suppose.
    This has all suddenly occured since tonight's security update.
    How the **** does the worlds most successful software company manage to screw up so ineptly? A while ago I suddenly lost access to most of my fonts within all my Adobe and Microsoft programs, immediately following one of Apple's security updates. I have never managed to resolve this issue. I was left with only Truetype fonts available in these programs, though the missing fonts remained available in other software, including Apple's own apps such as textedit.
    I have an old Mac running old system software. It is a life saver. I don't let the internet and Apple's risky 'updates' anywhere near it. If anybody knows a better solution than using an antique machine running out of date software I'd love to know.

  • Adobe CS2 uninstall (as administrator, no antivirus) fails on Windows with "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information", "Missing resources library"

    My previously fully functional Adobe CS2 install on Windows 7 x64 stopped working when the activation service for CS2 was shut down.
    I tried to follow the re-installation instructions at the following web page which first require a complete uninstall of Adobe CS2:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    Running as a local administrator in elevated mode and without a running antivirus (in fact, with an uninstalled antivirus), I get the following error message and the uninstaller refuses to run:
    The installer could not start because of the following reasons:
    Missing or Invalid Personalization Information
    Missing resources library
    I searched the forums and found matching threads such as these:

    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1547148

    but they seem to suggest insufficient privileges or an interfering antivirus.
    I opened a chat support case (case number: 0214720731) responded to by @Arunkumar who sent me back to the forums.  When I said similar queries had not been resolved for months, he promised to escalate to his "senior product expert" team to post a solution.  I am posting this message in the hope they will respond with useful suggestions as I do not want to do a complete Windows re-install of an otherwise perfectly functional computer just because the Adobe uninstaller doesn't work.

    You have insufficient privileges to access the registry or your virus scanner is blocking it. Nothing Adobe can fix for you, you need to find the culprit on your system and/ or fix the registry permissions as explained here:
