Adobe CS2 asking for "personalization" after using it for 3+ years

I have contacted Adobe directly about this and I saw on their site CS4 users had same issue: it asks for the serial number it is is not recognized as valid. I have the original box the discs it came with. I've gone the gamit with Adobe's recommendations and nothing works. This glitch has caused me to lose the use of InDesign and Illustrator (CS2 – yes, it's old but the same issue applies to the newer version!!!)
This all went down around January 13th of this year. I believe I got an automatic update to Firefox at that time but nothing else was added.
I could not find a discussion on this so if any of you can offer advice I would greatly appreciate it!!

Hi there, not sure what it could be, but At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667
After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.

I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone

I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone know where I can go for help?

You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

Adobe illustrator asks for Java SE 6 and the link doesn't work at Apple

Adobe illustrator asks for Java SE 6 (a legacy installation) and won't run without it. The link to the legacy version at Apple goes to an error page ("too many redirects") Does anyone have a solution? Has something changed recently. The mac help page is dated March 27, 2015, but the link at for Java SE 6 results in an error for me.

Try this: Apple Java 2014-001.

You mean, if you now buy it? No. You can enter a license or sign in if you have a subscription and the trial is unlocked.

If you have charged for another year, please cancel that service and refund me as I did not request renewal for another year. I don't find this service very useful as documents converted to Word is not really usable when trying to do changes and amendments to the document.
Please confirm.

Photoshop (CS2) asks for activation, completes, then exits after popup

I am using the Adobe Creative Suite 2. Photoshop is version 9.0.
I open Photoshop and here is the first pop-up I see:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/1st.jpg
It says: "The license configuration data for Adobe Creative Suite is no longer usable. Click OK to continue."
I click OK and this is what I see next:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/2nd.jpg
It's the activation window (do note I already have activated after the install)
So I activate, and it says thank you... as you can see here:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/3rd.jpg
Then immediately after activation, I get this pop up:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/4th.jpg3
It says "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format."
I click OK then I get another pop up:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/5th.jpg
It says "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
I click OK and nothing happens. But if I click on ANY tool or function within Photoshop, I will get the last pop up which is:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q161/eXar7331/Misc/6th.jpg
It says, "A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application."
Then Photoshop closes, and I begin to weep.
So it asks me to activate, even though I have already activated it successfully. Then it tells me to reinstall even though I've already reinstalled twice now. I don't know what to do. The only thing I've changed on my computer recently is I've added fonts that I downloaded from a public website. Now my PS is screwed. Anyone?

You've been having complete, show-stopping problems for 22 days, and you haven't called Adobe Customer Support for help?
Yo DO realize that we're just a group of other users, like yourself, right?

In Design CS2 "Asking for me to re install serial number"

And it denies my serial number, and did purchase the software. I have been using it for years without any problems.
I was using my PowerBook G4 yesterday in the car. I had a inDesign file open for at least 2 hours.
The file is at least a year old with continuous modification.
Tonight I went to open another inDesign C2 file at I get a window asking to Personalize Your Software. Asking for me to re install serial number.
After digging through 5 boxes of software I found the number and entered it.
It is telling me I have a invalid number - not true.

Adobe lightroom asking for serial number each time I open it. Any suggestions?

I just downloaded Lightroom 5 and updated to 5.7 when prompted on completion of the process. I now have to input the serial number each time I open the programme. Is there any thing I can do, restarting the installation for example, to try and get round this problem?

I have the same thing happen to me. Every time I start Aperture, it asks for the license. Once I have entered the license key it lets me use the application. However, the next time I use the application again, i get the same problem. I have tried reinstalling the application, and am asked for the license key at the beginning of the install and again once the package is started. To no avail. And I get no other messages.
I called Apple Support, and after booking a call with a support person (a Genius?), I got one who, after reading the summary of my problem in the service request, said simply "this is for Aperture? Aperture is a Microsoft product, you have to call Microsoft". And that was that.
Please, anyone have any ideas?

Adobe Lightroom asks for License

After registering to Adobe CC, Lightroom still asks for license key.

With the introduction of Lightroom in the PS CC package, there are two licensing processes. The original perpetual license which is input manually and the CC copy which gets input automatically by the CC App Manager. If you still have a original perpetual license version or trial installed you just need to uninstall it, the uninstall will not affect your preferences, catalog or user files. Then shut down your system and reboot, open the CC app manager and you should have Lightroom available to download.

CS2 asking for serial number

I've been running InDesign CS2 on my Mac no problem for years. Today, I have turned my machine on, gone to open a CS2 document and I get this message asking for the serial number to continue installation. When I put my serial number in, it tells me its invalid. What's happened? The only thing I have changed recently is that I've downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 2. Could this have caused it?

Why don't I have LTE service? I have been asking for several years why there's no coverage at my home.

Hi Verizon Wireless Team,
I have asked why there is no LTE coverage at my home for several years now and Verizon has failed to get back to me every time.
So forgive me, I'll ask again now since it is the end of the year.
The LTE icon never appears when I'm at home. Same for my MiFi gadget.
Your online coverage map shows that there should be coverage for me.
Any ideas?
Regards

hcypress,
Help has arrived! What zip code are you experiencing these issues in? Does the service improve once you leave the home area? Does this affect voice, data and text? What model phone do you have?
