Activation Photoshop CS shutdown

How to activate an old version Photoshop CS on my new computer

The language on their web pages has been changing.   It's currently much more restricted than it used to be.  Seems like lawyers at work.
From this page:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
2. Download and install CS2 applications 
You can use the serial numbers provided as a part of the download only if you legitimately purchased CS2, CS2 applications, Acrobat 7, or Audition 3.

    Unfortunately, only adobe can help you with that, as most people here are just posters such as your self and don't work for adobe.
    If you go here and use the Chat now button (bottom of page), they should get you up and running by resetting your activations.

  • Comment réactiver Photoshop sur un nouvel ordinateur?

    Bonjour,
    J'ai un problème: je ne peux pas réactiver photoshop sur mon nouvel ordinateur, car je l'ai déjà activé sur les deux précédents, dont le disque dur a grillé. Comme ces ordinateurs sont à la poubelle, je ne peux pas désactiver photoshop, et du coup Adobe me dit que le numéro de licence a déjà été utilisé deux fois, et que je ne peux pas activer le logiciel sur le nouveau. Que faire?

    Tirebouchon, bonjour sur quel site Adobe avez-vous essayé? (je ne sais pas si vous êtes Français, Canadien, Suisse, Belge...

  • Activating Photoshop for a third time

    I activated my photoshop elements 9 (serial-nr.: 1057-4226-2141-2183-9597-1340) on two PC’s.
    One of the PC’c I trashed, without deactivating photoshop. Now, I failed by activating photoshop on my new PC, because it’s already activated on two PC’s.
    Is there any possibility to activate it a third time, because I want to use it on the PC which is leftover and on the new one?
    Thank you for your efforts.

    Have you installed using your discs? It should ask you for the serial number. Then after installing you should start Photoshop and you either be asked to activate or you go to the Help menu and click Activate.

    creative cloud does not use a serial number.
    you download the cc desktop app (Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop) and then install your software using the same adobe id used to pay for your subscription.

  • Already activated Photoshop Elements 9 on two computers and one computer died

    Hi,  I am having trouble reactivating Photoshop elements 9 on a new laptop I bought. I had already installed the program on my desktop and on my old laptop,which has unfortunately died and was unable to be restarted to deactivate the program. I have now purchased a new laptop and am unable to activate photoshop as it has already been activated on 2 computers. I am aware that you can only activate on two computers. Is anyone able to assist with this issue. 

    You will need to contact activation support:

  • I'm having problems activating Photoshop Elements 12, with the internet. What can I do?

    I've already installed the Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. I open the program, than I open the "Editor menu" and the the program ask me to sign in. I've already an Adobe Account, but the program tells me that I'm not connected to the internet, but I am. I'm using the browser and all works.
    What can I do?

    Mariarocha it is likely your computer is not currently able to contact our activation servers.  Please see Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html which discusses several common solutions to restore connectivity.

  • Re-activating photoshop elements serial number

    I had my serial number for photoshop elements 8 de-activated a couple of months ago as I was uninstalling it and selling my mac. This was done over the phone with the support centre. I now need to re-activate it for my new mac. How do I do this?

    Just install the software on the new mac , the activation will happen in the background silently when you will launch the product. so need to very.

  • Problems with re-install of previously Activated Photoshop?

    Running Win Vista Home, w/ Adobe Photoshop CS...this is an older system.
    If I turn ON the UAC in the Win Control Panel, and open Photoshop - it gives me an error message that I am not Authorized to use the SW (I am the only user of this PC and only installer of this SW license). 
    If I try to Reinstall Photoshop, I get these messages:
    "You're computer's configuration appears to have changed since this product was activated.  To continue using this product, Click OK
    to activate it again for your system configuration, or Click Cancel to Exit." -
    If I Click OK:
    I get the Adobe Phone Activation screen, which is no longer supported. The Serial number, Activation Number, and Activation Type is displayed. (Activation Type REPAIR 24:24). What can I do about the Authorization Code?
    Is there a manual work-around to this problem?  I do want to upgrade my PC at this time, but still need my Photoshop to work.

    Uninstall your version of CS.
    Adobe closed down the CS2 activation server a couple of years ago.
    See Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    You must now download the non-activation version of CS2 (it's OK for CS owners too) from the link above. Install then enter the new non-activation serial number provided at that link.
    I've lost my key code for my CS2, is there another way to retrieve it? 

  • Help activating Photoshop CS Education AGAIN after using AVG Tuneup

    Hi,
    I have owned and used Photoshop CS Education (yes i know its old) since 2008 on 1 PC and it has worked fine. Last week i installed and ran AVG Internet Securtiy 2013 and their Tuneup Utillities.
    I completed all the recommended "cleans" and thought all was fine until  tried to use PS a few days later and when launching an error msg stating " your computer's configuration appears to have changed since the time this product was activated. To continue using this product, please click OK to activate it again for your new system configuration, or click cancel to exit" 
    When you click ok you transfer to the activation screen, trying to do it over the internet fails with a msg stating the activation system is not available at this time and with options about phone activation.
    I have tried over the internet for a few days with no joy so i rang the number given and the operator tried to activate over the phone but stated that their servers were down and they knew there was an issue so i should just keep trying!!!!!! and the would escalate my case to a senior.
    Now i presume that i have inadvertently deleted something from the registry or similar but can anyone offer me any advice on how i get this sorted?
    i have tried undoing everything including a restore but to no avail, please help.
    Thanks in advance

    Apparently according to what i've heard, the activation servers for cs2 and older products have been permanently disabled.
    Meaning you won't be able to activate versions older than cs3 anymore.
    Hopefully i'm wrong about the above.
    Don't know what to tell you other than hopefully an adobe employee will see your question and give you a solution.
    Or post the question here:

    How could I get an answer code to be able to activating my Photoshop element 12.

    Hi,
    You can try to activate your product offline and it would not ask you for Sign in Window again.
    1.Disconnect your Internet connection
    2.Follow the steps mentioned here(though teh steps are mentioned for Acrobat but they are applicable for PSE and PRE as well) : Offline Activation
