Activation of CS2 on a new computer

I like to deactivate CS2 on my old computer and transfer the activation to a new one.
This does not work as it is presented in the program. The Adobe server has presumably changed its address or something.
Anyone who knows how to do this?

Hi gunnarhornsten,
CS2 is end of life and the Activation server has been stopped.
You can use the link to download the application and install using the steps mentioned in the link below.

  • I am trying to install CS2 on my new computer but it is not accepting my serial number or activation number?

    This is an old version of CS2 but my old computer died and I would like to be able to use the CS2 on my new computer.  My serial number and activation number are not accepted and need an authorization code.
    Thank You!

    This will probably help:

  • Trying to activate photoshop cs2 on a new computer and it fails saying error code 24:24.  Any ideas?

    I am trying to activate Photoshop CS2 on a new computer.  This is on Windows 7.  The install worked fine and the application runs fine.  However, when I try to activate it says that the activation server is unreachable with an error code 24:24.  How can I activate my software?
    Thanks.

    You can't. The servers are dead and gone. Instead, see the page here:

    There are CS2 downloads, plus the keys needed to activate them. Note; you MUST download those versions and use the supplied keys, not your old ones. Read and follow the directions on the page carefully, and you will be up and running again in no time.

  • Activat CS2 upgrade to new computer

    Hi
    I have CS, CS2 & Photoshop 4. All with serial numbers registered for me.
    I bought the first CS full version several years ago and then purchased CS2 and Photoshop 4 as upgrades.
    Last year the computer that I had all this software on died! I bought a new computer and started to install the software on my new computer.
    CS went on without any problems. I then installed the CS2 upgrade and it said that I had a 30-day trial period? Which I thought was strange as I had the retail packaging for the CS2 and serial number. From what I remember I downloaded the CS2 first of all and then bought the package in the box with its serial no. to use it. A few years later I purchased the Photoshop 4 upgrade and have been using it since.
    When I installed the CS2 it told me I had to activate it which I tried to do but it told me that activation for this software is now unavailable. I tried to phone Adobe directly but I did not get very far as the said they no longer supported it. I have not attempted to install the Photoshop 4 because I don't think I can install it without the CS2 installed.
    Every time I try to open CS2 it just say's that my 30-day trial period is over. The CS still works fine.
    I have purchased all the above software in retail packaging from the correct channels, i.e. not copies of anybody else's! I am simply trying to install software that I have purchased onto my new computer and I have all the correct packaging and serial numbers, which are registered with Adobe for me to use.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks,
    Adrian.

    I have CS, CS2 & Photoshop 4.
    Do you mean Photoshop 4 or Photoshop CS4?
    I have not attempted to install the Photoshop 4 because I don't think I can install it without the CS2 installed.
    You don't need a prior version installed in order to install an upgrade. Just install the upgrade (even on a computer which has never previously had any Adobe software installed), enter the upgrade serial number and then enter the serial number from the earlier qualifying version (even if that was an upgrade).
    But which Photoshop 4?

  • Activating PS CS5 on a new computer

    I have had CS5 on my laptop and desktop machines,IAW the EULA.
    I'm selling my laptop, so I deactivated it on that machine, but it's still active on the desktop.
    What do I need to do when I get the new laptop to legally install PS CS5 on it?
    Thanks,

    You should be able to install and activate your software on the new computer successfully.  If you do run into problems though you will want to contact our support team.

  • I need help activating serial number on a new computer after deactivation from an old computer

    I deactivated and checked the box for remove entire product from my old computer and now the serial number is saying it is not valid when I try to use it on my new computer even after registering it, any ideas?

    I am beginning to think that this is the issue - i have downloaded the CC version - why are they not the same serial number. ALSO Adobe is really hard to navigate - i can't even find the stand alone version to download.
    The CC version doesn't use a serial number. Is activated with your Adobe ID and password. And it's all tied to your account being paid current. Other than that, the programs are the same. You have been provided the link to the standalone installation in the comment above this one.

  • 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.

  • I would like to put Dreamweaver 8 on a new computer.  There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here.  Can I just use the serial number again?  How can I deactive?  Has anyone else run into this?

      There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here.  Can I just use the serial number again?  How can I deactive?  Has anyone else run into this?  How can I get Dreamweaver 8, which is no longer being activated by Adobe, on a new computer?  Is it even worth doing or do I need to get a new version.  What are the killer features I'm missing?

    If you manage to get it installed on your current OS, don't forget to install the 8.02 update.

  • PPC software to new computer?

    Hello everyone,
    My name is Justin. I was wondering about transferring old software from this iMac G5 iSight edition to a newer computer, maybe a Mac mini.
    To be specific, the software is Adobe Creative Suite CS2 - yeah, old stuff, but we need to keep it. Is there any way to keep using the programs on a newer Intel chip processor. I know I used to have it installed on my 2007 iMac, but it never worked 100%.
    Any ideas we were thinking of were:
    Moving the programs to a newer computer
    Using the programs on the new Mac by accessing the hard drive of the old iMac?
    Re-installing CS2 on the new computer
    Any help, suggestions, or tips are appreciated. Thanks!
    -Justin

  • New computer, repurchase adobe ?

    i just bought adobe on a computer that broke, how do i get it on new computer without repurchasing ?

    if your broken computer is not completely broken, deactivate your product on the broken computer, install on your new computer and activate on the new computer.
    if you cannot deactivate on your broken computer and you are unable to activate your product on your new computer, go here and initiate a chat:  http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
    explain you have an adobe product on a broken computer which you are unable to deactivate and that is preventing you from activating the product on your new computer.
