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

How do I transfer activation for CS2

I wish to transfer activation for CS2 and CS4 from a old machines to new ones. I keep getting a transfer server error that the server is not available. What do I do?
I need to replace the machines.

All you need to do is deactivate (check mark remove serial number) and uninstall if you are going to give the computer away.
computer. I have the original disc so I guess I'll have to transfer it
out of the old computer.
That doesn't make sense, if you have the original install disc, you need not and should not transfer anything. You insert the disc in your new computer and run the install.
If you mean to tell me you do not have the install disc, then click on the link for a trial CS4 installer, download it to your new PC, enter the serial number and activate.

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.

When will download and activation for CS2 be possible again?!?!?!?!?

Download and activation for CS2 is currently down.
Is this temporary or has Adobe stolen my legally bought CS2 just b/c it is old?!?!?!?!?

Win7
start in: www.adobe.com/go/activation
next: choose "I'm having a problem activation my product"
next: next to "Error Code 24:24" choose link: "Activation server unavailable ..."
on the new page under "How to install" choose: "2. Download and install CS2 applications"
select language (Danish)
on the new page under "CS2 Downloads" choose "Jeg accepterer" (if you see it in English: "I accept")
on the new page there then should be a download link for CS2 - BUT NO!

Hard Drive damaged, error trying to Transfer Activation for CS2

The hard drive on my laptop is performing erratically and CHKDSK can't fix it, so it's time for a new drive. In preparation for the new drive, I tried to transfer activation of Photoshop CS2. I get the following error dialogue box message:
"The application or DLL C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Activation\en_US\almuirsc.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."
The only choice for this box is to click the OK button. When I do, I get the following message:
"Sorry, a serious error has been detected. To continue using Adobe Photoshop, please reinstall the appliation."
Any thoughts on what to do? Perhaps try re-installing and hoping that I can then use the Transfer Activation feature properly?

I wouldn't even worry about it. Get the new drive, install CS2 and try
to activate it. If it's denied call Adobe and explain the crashed drive.
They'll get you running again.

Transfer activation of CS2 from XP pc to WIN7 pc fails

So frustrating, no I am not going to upgrade..
I had to get a new computer.. this one is WIN7 which I hate, the old was XPpro.
Everytime I start Photoshop CS2 it displays the register popup. I try and it fails, registration server offine.
I did some research here and see I should be transferring the activation from the XP pc to the WIN7pc so I click click and that also fails
HELP > TRANSFER ACTIVATION
Error code 5:12029
activation server not available
OPTIONS:
     retry (fails)
     try again (been there done that same response)
     call customer service, I did..
that was an almost 105 minute call resolving squat except to tell me I either need to upgrade to CS5 for $199 or to buy yet another computer and another XP license for who know how many $$$ neither of which is going to happen in my world right now.
Reading in here a bit it looks like there is a file somewhere on the XP box I can move to the WIN7 box that might resolve the need to register/activate/transfer activation every time I start up CS2 ??
BTW, after I click cancel on the please register popup, the program runs flawlessly.. its just such a pain to go through that every day.. a small thing, but welcome to my world, those little nonsense things drive me batty
Can anyone help me with this please?

So more information, I thought I had it licked.. found info that said to delete the DAT file in the Program Licenses folder, did that and it prompted me to register, I called for a phone activation, went through that successfull YEAH.. but short lived.. closed and restarted CS2 and once again the please register popup is there..

Activating Photoshop CS2?

Help: I have CS2 and Photoshop is giving me an error message that I have to get a new authorization because it detected changes to my computer (running windows 7) the options given to get authorization are no longer valid (tried two phone numbers and also on-line activation) Looks like it was working for 30 days after Dec 1. But I have not needed to use Photoshop until now so I was unaware that there was any time sensitive issue.

Activating -deactivating CS2

I have CS2 active on an old MacBook and CS4 active on an old iMac. I used Migration Assistant to transfer from old iMac to new iMac and now CS4 won't startup, only produces a warning that there is a licensing problem. Tried Chat, but got no solution. Do I need to deactivate CS2? And so how, there is no uninstaller.

Completely irrelevant because of this:

YOu simply need to reinstall your CS4 properly.

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.

Clé Activation Photoshop CS2 sous windows 8

Bonjour
j'ai achete en 2006 un dell avec un PAck Photoshp CS2 et j'ai changé d'ordinateru sous windows 8.
Or mon CD n'active pas la cléf.
On m'a répondu chez Adobe qu'il fallait que je prennne la version Créative cloud mais je dois repayer ou il y a une mise à jour avec une nouvelle clef ???
Merci pour votre réponse

Non, tu n'as pas bien compris.
Télécharge la CS2 proposée en lien et installe la en utilisant le code d'activation fourni.
C'est un service/support gratuit offert par Adobe à ses anciens clients.
Par-contre, son bon fonctionnement n'est effectivement pas garanti avec Windows 8.
Mais rien ne t'empêche d'installer un système virtuel : https://www.virtualbox.org
