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.

    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:

    hello there! i am using Adobe acrobat pro DC and using windows 8.1. Recently I was trying to convert a web page (includes Greek letters) into PDF. I noticed that the conversion is not accurate, some words are missing, some are misplaced. Especially Greek words are not accurately converted or even not converted. Please give me some suggestions to improve this issue. Regards

    Hey quantum info,
    Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
    Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
    How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
    Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page"  option in Acrobat.
    Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
    Hope to hear from you.
    Regards,

  • Activating and using 0CUSTOMER Hierarchy extraction in R3

    Dear Expert,
    Could anybody explain me about Activating and using 0CUSTOMER Hierarchy extraction in R3 and then extract to BW systems from R3 in step by step?
    Points will be assign granted
    Regards
    Sanjiv

    You can load Hierarchies (sets) from R/3 in the same as other Master Data. Just you need to create Hierarchy DataSource using Tcode BW07. Where you have to give the name of the table and field on which you created Hierarchy iin R/3.
    Also there are many standard avilable datasources also for hierarchy for which you can load Hierarchy Directly.
    Here are the step by step procedures:
    Hi,
    If you are using standard infoobject and you want to load r3 hierachy you dont have to configure any additional thing in order to load it in BW.
    The Steps are:
    1)Activate the hierarcie datasource in R3
    2)Replicate it in BW
    3)Assign the datasource for an Infosource, and make sure you select the hierarchie datasource.
    4)Active the Infosource
    5)Create Infopackage
    6)Select the desire hierachie in the infopackage(if you dont see it, click on Available Hierarchies from OLTP and select it)
    Regards
    Asigns point if useful please

  • Adobe CS2 Installs with ARD?

    We recently purchased a volume license for Adobe CS2. I have read the information on the Adobe website about configuring a silent install. All seems to be fine with putting the files together in a directory as they say but I am hitting a wall when it comes to running the sudo command using the "Send UNIX command" function. I can send the command but the results display shows me the input for password but I have no interaction with the shell.
    I am attempting to run this as the Administrator account on the remote Mac. Should I enable the root user and log in under that account and attempt to re-run the script or is there a way to authenticate using ARD and this command? I have several Macs I need to run this install on.

    I tried to reply to you last night, Bill, but the forums went down between when I hit Reply and when I hit Post Message.
    As a matter of coincidence, I had just finished doing the exact thing you are attempting. I used the instructions found at http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331297.html to the letter, copying my cs2install folder to the remote machine's top-level folder using ARD. Then I used "Send Unix Command" -- as root user and set to display all output -- to send the following command to the remote machine:
    sudo /cs2install/Macsuite_silentinstall.sh /cs2install/ /cs2install/AdobeInstallerConfiguration.xml
    I had a hard time determining when it was finished, though, because the output doesn't say, "Hey, I'm done!" when it's done, but ARD will return a successful message. All told, the actual silent installation on the remote machine, from the time I sent the Unix command, took six minutes.
    Yup, six minutes.
    The updates, however, took me an hour and a half!

  • How to retrieve comments from one OfficeTask activity and use them in another OfficeTask activity for Multi level Approval sequential Workflow

    I'm designing a sequential site workflow using Visual Studio 2010 for Project Server 2010. In my case, I have following 6 stages in the workflow:
    1. InitialProposal Stage
    2. Approval Stage1 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members1
    3. Rejection Stage
    4. Approval Stage2 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members 2
    5. Execution Stage
    6. Completed Stage
    Requirement is workflow should move to Approval stage2 from Approval stage1  if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group1and it should move to Rejection Stage even if a single member rejects it.
    Workflow should move from Approval Stage2 to Execution Stage if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group2 and it should move back to Approval Stage1 on rejection by a single member of the group.
    I'm using inbuilt PSWApproval content type and OfficeTask activity for creating approval task for the group members at both stages.
    On task rejected in Approval stage2, task will be assigned again to Approval Stage1 and I want to show comments given by members of Approver Project Security Group2 to the members of Approver Project Security Group1 with this assigned task
    but I'm not able to retrieve comments from officeTask activity.
    My question is where exactly these comments are saved? how can we retrieve them and use them in another officetask activity? If this is not possible then what is the possible solution for meeting above mentioned business requirement?

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your suggestion.
    By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
    the task).
    I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
    public string officeComments;
            public string officeDescription;
            private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
                CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
                Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
                officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
                officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;          
    Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
    Thank you

  • Correlation in bpm - Difference between activating and using correlation

    Hi
       I would like to know the difference between between activating a correaltion and using a correlation in a step.

    Correlation is used when you have multiple recieve steps in the BPM to differentiate each file.
    Consider your recive step is executed and the BPM is active waiting for the other file to comne in.
    Before the next file comes in , if another BPM is activated becuase your recived recive1 message. Now, when the next message comes in , how does XI know which BPM instance is to be used.
    Correlation is used in these cases. to corelate the messages.,
    some people name their Correlation as correlation in IP. So it means using the correlation 'correlation'.
    its like me creating a message interface by the name 'messageinterface' so finally i am using the message interface messageinterface !!!

  • Can IPhone be activated and used outside the US on other networks?

    Dear all,
    I was wondering if the iPhone can be launched and activated to operate outside the United States, any other country using their networks or its just exclusively by AT&T..?

    You have to activate the iPhone on the AT&T network. However, you can ask AT&T to enable international roaming and use it in other countries. If you do not have international roaming enabled, you can still do email and internet browsing when you are connected to wifi in other countries, but no phone service or sms.
    Other users report spotty international roaming performance for phone calls and sms. Also, international roaming for phone and data (other than on wifi) is extremely expensive.

  • Adobe CS2 installation failed on macbook air

    I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Macbook air, but when the installation goes the half way, system generates a message, "installation failed, please contact the manufacturer". Could you please help me to resolve the issue. thank you

    Assuming it is not an OS compatibility issue (which it may well be), you would not be able to activate it anyway. The activation servers for CS2 and earlier are dead and gone.
    See the page in the link below. Follow the directions carefully. And see if that works for you.

  • How to disable adobe flash in chrome and use windows adobe X

    I keep getting "shockwave flash has crashed" and was told to disable flash player in chrome, but when I do that, videos won't play. I DO have Adobe X installed but chrome won't use it. However, just having it seems to cause a conflict. I have Windows 7 office and Adobe flash player 17 Active X. thanks.

    I'm loading CS5 (upgraded from CS3). It's the computer OS that I've had to remove it from before - and it doesn't appear in the Startup folder, unlike in Windows XP's system. (Or in the Control Panel, although there is a "Color Management" folder that lists color profiles I've downloaded from Epson when I downloaded my printer drivers for Windows 7).
    So I guess Windows 7 doesn't include it, and I am free to do my calibration. Adobe's tech support phone line is closed for the weekend so I am turning to you forum experts. There must be someone out there who has encountered this in setting up a new computer system and loading PS onto it. Thanks for the input from both you and John.

  • Can photoshop actions created in CS2  be imported and used in Photoshop CS6?

    I have a slew of actions that I created in Cs2, my previous version of Photoshop. I've upgraded to CS6  and would like to use my previous actions in the new version. Is this possible? If so, how?
    Thanks!

    If you saved the in CS2 in theroy you should be able to load them in newer versions of Photoshop. As far as I know all Action created in CS2 will play in CS3 correctly. 
    Adode introduced options in CS4 that are not compatible with how Photoshop was designed to run.  When these options are set to have Photoshop work the way it worked before the CS4 options.  Actions will Play correctly.  However if you set these options to change the way Photoshop works some actions will now work correctlr in CS4, CS5 and CS6. It make no difference what version you record those actions in. Recording an action in CS6 doese not mean it will play correctly in CS6.  The Action will record the same way in CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS6.  Thet will play correctle in CS2, CS3 and they may play correctle in CS4, CS5 and CS6 depending on what options are set.
