BOGUS CS2 Creative Suites serial number need solutions

So I own CS2 Creative Suites Premium and it has been working a treat on my Macbook Pro with no issues at all. My harddrive did decide to pack in after water damage got it fixed tried my Adobe it did not work, and after tlaking with the Adobe helpline and going onto the CS2 section for an alternative serial number so I can still use my product it also does not work.
What is the solution?
Adobe what do you have to say for yourselves?
And I am not interested in Creative cloud and I cannot afford CS6

I am checking this old thread in need of a few answers. My iMac G5 (OS 10.5.8) running CS2 Professional had a drive failure. So, right now I am unable to access any of my artfiles. But I had an extra copy of CS2 Professional from a previous purchase and tried to load it on an older G5 iMac (OS 10.5.8). Ran in to the same activation issues. So, went online to the Adobe site, downloaded the CS2 files provided. But, as described earlier, the site did not provide or make available the last 2 Disk Images for the Professional Suite - which includes Acrobat 7.
I am dire need to complete the Suite. any information on how to obtain the missing files?

Can't install Illustrator from Creative Suite (serial number not recognized)

Years ago, I bought the first Creative Suite (upgrade). Illustrator was working fine on my old computer. Since then, I've upgraded Photoshop and Dreamweaver individually (I didn't upgrade Creative Suite).
Now I need to install Illustrator on my new computer, but the installation fails:
(1) I tried to install Illustrator separately (from the Illustrator setup.exe file on the disks) and I input the only serial number I have (which is for Creative Suite) and get a "this isn't an Illustrator serial number".
(2) I tried to install Creative Suite but it prompts me for the location of Photoshop ... an OLDER version of Photoshop. I've got Photoshop CS5, but the installation correctly says that isn't an earlier version.
I believe I purchased my first Photoshop in 1997-ish. Do I really have to start from the beginning and install EVERY VERSION of Photoshop that I ever bought/upgraded in order to install Illustrator from the CS upgrade disk?
I tried looking for an Adobe phone number, but no joy.

> Which versions of which software do you have exactly?
Have, or installed?
I have Photoshop LE, Photoshop 4.1 (I think it was -- the first version with layers), Photoshop 5.5, Photoshop 6, Creative Suite, Photoshop CS2, and Photoshop CS5.
After I purchased Creative Suite, I just wanted to upgrade the individual programs rather than the whole Creative Suite. However, I believe I purchased upgrades all along the way.
For Dreamweaver (though not the issue here), I started with the Macromedia programs, so the upgrade line started 'way back at Macromedia (and the installation of Adobe DW upgrades requires live tech support; unfortunately, as I can no longer find a phone number for Adobe, I guess I'd better hope nothing ever happens).
Anyway, does that help? You can see why I don't want to reinstall all those versions just to install Illustrator.
(And thanks for your help.)

Student Edition of Creative Suite Serial Number Problem

From my University of Wisconsin school system I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium. The box provides me with a coupon code which I need in order to obtain my serial number. It says to go to www.adobe.studentlicensing.com to get the serial number. However, this website does not work. Is the because I cannot activate the product until fall when school starts? Or did the website simply get changed? I've been searching the Adobe website for a while now and I cannot find a place where I can enter my coupon code to get the serial number.

Same here. Is it that you cannot get to the website or that it doesn't work properly once you are there?

Creative Suite serial number

Hi,
I bought Creative Suite 4 student edition awhile back when I was a student. It is working fine but I am worried that if my computer crashes I will lose it. I can't find the serial number anywhere ( I have looked in all the usual places). It didn't come on the box like other Adobe products.
Can anyone please help me.
Very Frustrated

If you registered the software it would be available to your account on Adobe.com.

Trying to match Adobe Creative Suite Serial Numbers with Installed Software's

I'm trying to log all of my Adobe Creative Suite Software's in an Excel Sheet so i can know which computer the software's are installed on. I own and registered 8 versions of Creative Suite for our office, but i'm trying to now find out which computer each one is installed on for our database logs. When i try to compare our software's serial numbers (Ex. Photoshop, Illustrator) to our Creative Suite serial number nothing matches. How can i find the correct serial numbers to know which computer has which Creative Suite installed without the CD-Roms?

You can't. You will have to deactivate and reactivate by inputting the serial numbers from scratch.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download. I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers. I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect. I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own. One is operational and one is dead. I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

This has been reported numerous times in the past. It seesms that from time-to-time the response system responsible for sending the key goes away.
Take a look at the More Like This box on the right hand side of this page. Some users have had success getting the key sent in various ways.

Are you SURE you need to reinstall? Often people believe this but it rarely solves anything. Does a message say you must?

Dose the serial number need to be changed and how when selling Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

Dose the serial number need to be changed and how when selling Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

No, the serial number goes with the product. You should deactivate all your installed copies before selling it. Also, if you've used it qualify for upgrade pricing on a later version you can't sell it. Well, you could but the new owner won't be able to install it.
Adobe does have a license transfer document, but not many people bother with it:

CS4 suite serial number does not work for Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hello,
I am looking for a solution for the serial number issue I am having with Adobe Acrobat Pro. All of other programs within the suite open fine, but when I open Adobe Acrobat Pro it asks for a serial number. When I type in the serial number, I am given a red "X".
I have called customer support, but they haven't been able to give me any information that will resolve my issue (uninstalled 4 times now). I have Vista and have looked online and on the Adobe website to find a solution. It looks like others are having the same issue from what I can tell while searching. I have run the script too and then reinstalled, but still nothing.

After some stupid upgrade in my computer (who knows as Microsoft is always doing something), my Acrobat 9 in CS4 stopped working. The error message said to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat. So I went through the control panel and uninstalled it. I then loaded the CD and reinstalled. However the reinstall would NOT accept the orginal serial number. I called Adobe and they gave me a different serial number. Before I let the guy nof the line I tried the number and it did NOT work! So then he gave me another number which asked for the previous verison- apparently it was an upgrade number. Luckily I had my old CS3 software and I gave it that number and then it accepted the install. The program now works BUT there is no longer any ADD/REMOVE choice in the CS4 suite in the control panel. There is no way to automatically remove this program anymore! What a mess.
After reading some of the installation problems others have had and no solutions, I count myself lucky! At least I was able to get the program running.
Therefore my advise on the serial number problem is to get Adobe on the phonen and get them to give you a number that will work, and don't hang up until you know the program is working!
If anyone knows how to add the Acrobat to the the add/remove functions in the control panel, please let me know!

How can I install the Dreamweaver 8 from my CS2 Creative suite?

When I originally installed my Adobe programs for CS2 about 5 years ago, I did not at that time install the dreamweaver from the CD. Now I'm trying to download it, but it will not accept the serial number from the suite (Dreamweaver 8 was still from Macromedia back then, but was part of the Suite) so I am unable to activate the program.I'm using hp pavillion a 1430n w Windows XP-Media Center edition. My Serial number is a series of 6 four digit numbers. The activation site will not accept nearly that many numbers, nor does it accept them in four digit combinations. Any suggestions ?

If the serial number from the CS2 Premium suite is not working with the install, there is not much you can do at this point. You can try to uninstall the whole suite and this time install all of the applications at once. But you then risk the other applications.
Your only other option is to pay the upgrade from CS2 to CS4. Adobe, unlike Macromedia, does not restrict educational users from upgrading. All they ask is that you pay the full retail upgrade price and they will allow you to have your license converted from a student license to a commercial license that will allow you to keep upgrading. Or if you are still a student, you can opt to buy the new student release.
Based on what I was able to look up online about your system, it meets the requirements for CS4 as long as you have upgraded to SP2/3 of XP.
