Adobe CS2 Premium - How to I transfer my serial number from a PC that is broken to a new PC?

My old PC has died and I have loaded my Adobe CS2 Premium software onto my new computer. When I try to activate the serial number Adobe sends me a message that I can only activate the serial number on one computer. How can I change the serial number registration to my new computer when the old one is broken and I cannot deactivate it?

Your own copy of CS2 will not be able to be activated. You need to acquire a special version that has a special serial number. See the following for more information and to get the installation files.

Unable to install Adobe CS2 Premium on Windows OS 7. How do I fix this ?

I am unable to install Adobe CS2 Premium on Windows OS 7. My discs require activation but do install to the OS. The non-activation version recommended gives the error message that" this version is not compatible wih OS" and will not install.
Thanks, Liz

Hi Issieoo,
Though you may install Cs2 on Windows but you may face performace issue. Please find the System Requirement for installing for one of the CS2 product: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html . However I would recommend you to purchase the new CC realease with more enhanced functionalities and features.

Adobe CS2 Install problem

Hey, i've recently bought my first Mac, a white 2.0 Macbook. So far i'm loving it! but i can't install correctly Adobe CS2. After the install is finished (apparently OK) when I open Photoshop it tells me that there are some missing files and that i have to reinstall. I did it a couple of times but i can't make it work. Can somebody help me with this please??

Adobe CS2 Premium data1.cab

I have my original Adobe CS 2 Premium Edition. I run set up as admin etc and put in my serial etc etc all that goes smoothly. Now I would select the components I want to install. Photoshop Cs2 and Illustrator CS2. So after the installation I see illustrator and I can open it and use it, however I am unable to see a sight of Photoshop CS2 on the start menu, desktop, even made a search for it and no avail. I never received any error message as to it didn't install properly. So how come i'm not seeing adobe photoshop cs2.
Btw, my laptop is Windows 7 Home Basic, I installed the same software on an older computer xp and the same issue persists...can anyone help? It's obviously not an error message just that i am not seeing any sign of adobe photoshop on my laptop?
I even installed it in a different location on the C drive etc. Still nothing worked.

I know Adobe shut off the Activation servers, so your original CS2 will not work anyway.
Adobe has provided a free CS2 replacement. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
Download the replacement and the serial number next to it. Your old CD and serial number is no longer valid.

Question + Adobe Design Premium CS3 Problem

Question:
When I boot up Leopard after the grey apple logo loading screen it will turn to the blue screen then directly to my desktop. In tiger it would go to the blue screen then you would see a window with a loading bar. Did they remove that in Leopard because I don't see it, it just goes directly from the blue screen to my desktop.
Adobe Design Premium Problem:
I installed Adobe Design Premium CS3, I got some functionality problems so I deleted it from my Applications folder to re-install the trial software as I was in a hurry to get InDesign working because I had an assignment due. When I tried to install InDesign CS3, it would tell me during the installation that I can't install it because of "Adobe InDesign CS3". I am assuming that it still thinks that InDesign CS3 is installed? I made sure that I had deleted all the Adobe software from my computer. It did this with my other applications too when using my CD to install Design Premium again. It's like I'm locked out of installing it? I've heard of other people having the same problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

If there isn't an answer, it usually means other users don't know the answer.
As far as the Adobe suite goes, there are two steps to deleting the suite. The first is deactivating it (I think that's on the Help menu), and the second is running the installer with the Uninstall option so that all of the files it installs in various places are removed. Is that how you did it, or did you just throw files in the Trash? If you trashed them manually, there are probably pieces left behind that are getting in the way.
That is all I know about that one. For potentially much more information, you should drop by the Adobe user forums, where there should be many more users with direct experience with the Adobe-specific install/uninstall issues. Try clicking on the "Creative Suite" forum there.

Using Adobe CS2 on New Pro Book, Illustrator crashes consistently

I just got my MacBook Pro (3G RAM, 150G HD, External 120G HD, wireless mighty mouse, OSX 10.4.8) Installed Adobe CS2 Premium Edition.
Illustrator crashes every single time I use the Pathfinder tool (any filter).
Checked with Adobe, they say it is a problem between Illustrator and OSX 10.4.8 and I need to install 10.4.7, which they say will solve the problem.
How do I get a copy of 10.4.7 to fix this issue.
I will not go into how irritated I am that Adobe has not created an update to fix these incompatabilities or the fact that both Adobe and Apple know these problems exist yet do not mention it before you spend 3 grand on hardware or 1 grand on software. If an auto manufacturer did that they would be sued immediately. But since it is not my life, just my business that is in danger, who cares...
I know I said I wouldn't go there, but I am steamed!

Greetings,
We just received 12 MacPros that shipped with 10.4.8,
so taking them back to 10.4.7 is not a realistic fix for this 10.4.8 bug.
We did do all other suggestions we could find short of that, on Adobe support, and in these forums: update to Illustrator CS2 12.0.1, toss all the legal HTML files that had bad fonts, close the Appearance
palet then close Illustrator, toss the Illustrator plist file, repair permissions,
but only got marginal results. In files that have complex paths or raster files embedded, or are large dimensionally,
using the Pathfinder tools still crashes Illustrator.
Anyone have any new suggestions that could help us?? We use Illustrator quite a bit, particularly in signage, and this is almost a show stopper for even bothering to set these Macs up! Anyone gone back to CS on a MacPro?
I have sent a note to Apple Feedback requesting a fix.. 10.4.9??

CS2 Premium files not available for end-of-life download?

I am reconfiguring my old Mac and reinstalled my Adobe CS2 Premium package from the original discs. It failed activation. I searched and found http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l . I followed the English link, and logged in.
The install PDF linked from that page says CS2 Premium has 7 files to download:
CS_2.0_UE_Ret_D1.dmg.bin
CS_2.0_UE_Ret_D2.dmg.bin
CS_2.0_UE_Ret_D3.dmg.bin
CS_2.0_UE_Ret_D4.dmg.bin*
CS_2.0_UE_Extras_1.dmg.bin
CS_2.0_UE_Extras_2.dmg.bin*
CDo_TT_Mac.dmg.bin
However, the download page has only the following listed under CS2, and there is no heading for CS2 Premium.
CS2_install_Mac.pdf
CS_20_IE_NonRet_D1.dmg.bin
CS_20_IE_NonRet_D2.dmg.bin
CS_20_IE_NonRet_D3.dmg.bin
VCS2.dmg
CS_2.0_IE_Extras_1.dmg.bin
None of these match the files listed in CS2_install_Mac.pdf.
Can anyone help me find the CS2 Premium files?

Hi Jan:
Today I searched in the SAP Service Marketplace and I got the following result:

Maybe your problem has been solved. I recommend you to re-calculate these objects in MOPZ again.

Install question CS2 Premium using CS4 Standard work?

Running iMac Power PC G5, 2GB SDRAM, and have checked all the system requirements to upgrade, good to go, now the question is...
I have Adobe CS2 PREMIUM installed and need to upgrade to CS4. Will the CS4 STANDARD full version work to upgrade? or am I forced to buy the Premium? I am a print designer and not into web creation. So I don't use the web apps anyway.
Thanks you in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply! The link at Amazon gave this review... This should not be so confusing. anyway, I see the only way around it is to buy the full version. Any other options would be appreciated. Actually CS2 has never given me a problem. The reason I need to move ahead is I am running into compatibility issues with the agency I recieve artwork from. CS4 is the highest I can go with a powerpc. I really cannot aford a new mac right now. One last HELP Please. Thank You!
This review is from: Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard Upgrade [Mac] (DVD-ROM)
I love CS4. What I hate is that you have to read the whole listing to see that THIS IS ONLY AN UPGRADE FROM CS3 TO CS4, not any other versions. So I spent hours preparing for this transition, hours upon hours, and when I called Adobe support they said "Oh, yeah, this is a really common problem. There's really no way to tell the CS3-CS4 from the CS2-CS4 upgrades, and they cost the same price. We could help you, but you didn't buy it from us..." Aargh! So I'm returning it, Amazon won't make any money, I have to explain to my office that they're stuck on CS2 for a while, and there's just no way my boss will believe this isn't something completely negligent on my part.

OSX 10.4.6 / Adobe CS2 Install conflict?

I'm trying to install Adobe CS2 Premium. I've installed from this disk set on a number of G5's in our office successfully in the past. However, this was prior to OSX 10.4.6
I've attempted this install on 3 computers in my office. All PowerMac G5's running 10.4.6.
This CS2 installer runs fine without any errors. All of the programs startup fine with the exception of Illustrator. On closer inspection the Illustrator CS2 folder is missing a bunch of files. Only the first 3 files/folders are there.
- Activation_ReadMe.htm
- Adobe Illustrator CS2
- Cool Extras
These are all missing:
- Demonstrator
- Fonts
- Illustrator Read Me.pdf
- install.log
- Legal
- Plug-ins
- Presets
- Scripting
- Utilities
When I called support we went through the process of installing it in safe mode, throwing away all the font lists. In the end we were never able to get it to install properly.
Then he recommended that I try to make disk images of the install disks and try to install from there. Now when I get to Install Disk #3 I get an I/O error and the disk image cannot be completed.
The tech then recommended that I get a new disk set. I've done that and the same thing is happening w/ the new disk set. On two of the computers I was able to copy the missing folders from one of the machines that have been properly installed and this has worked fine.
I would like to know if this is a known issue w/ OSX 10.4.6?

Hi King of Pop!
I have installed the CS suite at least 20 times on 10.4.6 and it runs the applications fine. The only issue I had was with IDCS2 and the SING gaiji system and that was a permissions thing to a system resource - not the same thing you have.
I would take the Ilustrator CS2 app and trash it, reinstall it from the CD's. Be sure to empty the trash.

Running CS2 Premium on Windows 7

Hello. Does Adobe CS2 Premium install and run under Windows 7 Windows XP Mode on a PC?

Unsupported. The answer is maybe.

Adobe CS2 License?

I'm not sure where I should post this question, so I'll just do it here.
I just upgraded from Adobe CS2 Premium to Adobe CS3 Design Standard. Now that I no longer need my copy of CS2 Premium, can I sell it to another user and transfer the license or will doing so affect my CS3 license?
BTW, I'd like to do this to help pay for the upgrade.

Yup.
But if you used it to upgrade then its the same license. If you sell it you have to sell it all. You got the Suite at a reduced price because you have the previous version. If you want to have a second License you need to pay full price.

CS2 Premium reinstalling Adobe Photoshop activation problems

To: Adobe.com
From: Paul Sacca
[email protected]
Subject: CS2 Premium
To Whomever it Concerns,
After recently upgrading my computer's CPU, Memory and Graphics it became necessary to singularly reinstall my Adobe Photoshop (inc. Illustrator & Bridge) since I don't use the other members of the CS2 Premium Suite I made this a custom installation. Everything is working correctly with the exception of my Adobe Activation Warning System.
As you know Adobe no longer supports the CS2 Product you sold me which is your decision regardless of my belief of how good customer service should work. Your Web Site Trouble Shooting Guide states:
Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products.
I did legitimately purchase this product and once again I disagree with Adobe and wish to continue using my CS2 Photoshop, Illustrator & Bridge.
Am I to ignore your Warning System continually as I use my product? Is there another way to peacefully resolve this conflict? or Are you going to make this ugly and insist I buy yet another updated Adobe Product that you will still continue to support (for the time being)? My wish is simply to continue using my Photoshop without threats or problems from Adobe...can you help?
Paul Sacca

You can keep using CS2 without further cost. It just requires a few steps to remove the activation version and replace it with the non-activation version.
Uninstall your CS2.
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Download the non-activation version of CS2 from the above link. It's valid for CS and CS2 owners.
Install then enter the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing CS2 serial number will no longer work.
