Cannot activate my old copy of CS2 after upgrading to Windows 7

I've just updated to Windows 7 and was forced to reinstall my copy of Creative Suite 2 Standard. On trying to use the software I went through the activation routine and it would not activate online, or via the phone.
How do I activate my copy of this software. I still use this and want to keep this as an option before I move on to Creative Cloud.
Thanks

I am not able to activate my subscription of adobe photoshop cs 5.1

while installation, adobe accepts my key but when i have to enter my adobe id, it says "we cannot activate your subscription for adobe photoshop cs 5.1" ans says try again.
i have tried again and again but i am unable to do so.

You could be facing this issue because the software is unable to contact the Adobe servers. This could be due to several reasons: The time set on your computer may be incorrect, your computer might be behind a firewall. You'll find some details in the following document. Could you go through this document and let us know if you were able to resolve the issue. http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html#id _78979

Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.

I looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:
iMac (Intel)

Have a sealed copy of Adobe CS1 cannot activate

This copy of CS1 was never used. Says cannot activate. How do I activate this product?

You never will be able to activate it. Adobe has taken the activation servers offline for that version and the one following.
You might want to take a look at this, which covers your situation:

Hm, I notice on looking deeper that the wording there has been changed. It definitely used to say "or older". Perhaps it no longer covers your situation. If that's the case, I'm sorry but there simply may be no way to run Photoshop CS any longer.

Cannot Activate Photoshop CS3 Extended???

Hi,
I cannot activate my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, after coming across a previous thread regarding this issue (Re: CS3 Retail Box. Key Won't Work) I contacted support but after 3 representatives they all claim to not be able to validate the keys (despite one still being in use on my wife's laptop!). I just want to deactivate the keys from the previous 2 PCs so I can install them on my newer machines, my old pc has been formatted without deactivation so I cannot do it myself and I am scared to deactivate the other copy as It seems I will not receive any support in reactivating it.
Here is a complete conversation with one of the 3 support representatives I have spoken to regarding this issue:
Thank you for contacting Adobe.
A representative will be with you shortly.
Thank you for your patience.
While you wait, you can try our community forums where experts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You are now chatting with Vijet.
Vijet: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
mike stripling: Hi, I have here 2 keys for Adobe Photoshop CS3 extended edition which are telling me there is too many activations on them
Vijet: Hi Mike,In order to assist you in a better way can i have your Name your Email id and your Phone number please.
mike stripling: one of them was on a pc which has been formatted without deactivation and the other is on my wife's laptop which also needs deactivation as that will be formatted soon
mike stripling: Mike Stripling, [email protected] and I'm not sure which phone number it would be under
mike stripling: (it was registered 7 years ago)
mike stripling: I have spoken to two previous representatives who claim my keys are not valid yet after downloading cs3 from your website instead of installing from a disc it says for both keys that there are too many pcs using them at the moment
Vijet: Can you please provide me with the Serial Number for your Photoshop CS 3
mike stripling: [removed] & [removed]
mike stripling: Your previous representatives claimed this did not show on their system
mike stripling: but when I put it in photoshop it claims there are too many pcs using those keys
mike stripling: I can screenshot this if necessary
Vijet: Sorry to say Mike but the Serial Number you are giving me are invalid one's.
mike stripling: No they are not.
mike stripling: Why else would I get a big green tick and a page showing 'too many activations'
Vijet: Please allow me a moment while I look into your account and see why are you having this issue.
mike stripling: Ok.
mike stripling: I also found this support thread with your adobe staff responses on this issue which may be relevant: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491813
mike stripling: "CS3 can not be activated any more as it is end of life product, you can contact Adobe Support at Adobe - Contact Support – Download and Installation to know how to proceed for it & know about the options if there are any. Regards Rajshree"
Vijet: The serial number you are giving me are not the valid one,i have looked into my resources.
mike stripling: https://i.imgur.com/GRdHQmc.png
mike stripling: then why do I get this?
Vijet: May be Mike the Photoshop we are talking about is CS 2 not CS 3?
mike stripling: the screenshot I just linked is cs3 and the disc with the serial numbers, box etc all says adobe photoshop cs3 extended
Vijet: Because end of life of the product you are saying it's for CS 2 products not for the CS 3.
mike stripling: your staff post says cs3 as well
mike stripling: clearly stated in this thread https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491813
Vijet: Allow me a minute let me look into it.
Vijet: From where did you purchased it?
mike stripling: It was years ago, but I believe amazon or something
mike stripling: I don't have the purchase order saved, who would save that for 7 years? :S
Vijet: Sorry to say Mike i wont be able to help you with this.

i am not an adobe employe and not an adobe spokesperson.
but my guess is it appears to adobe as if those keys have been 'hacked'. ie, published somewhere publically, used by others and are now blacklisted.

I am trying to install a registered copy of Photoshop Lightroom that I never installed on my Apple iMac with software version 10.10.
I get the message “Adobe Lightroom 1. Cannot be installed on this disk because a newer version of this software already exists on this disk”
If it is here – I cannot find it anywhere, and I don’t believe that I ever installed it.
I have ordered the upgrade to Lightroom 5.0 and figured that I should install Lightroom 1.0 first.
How can I solve this problem

Actually when LR 5 starts for the first time after it is installed it will have a dialog to Buy, Try or Enter a serial number. You select Enter a serial number and enter the LR 5 serial number first and then because it is an upgrade serial number it will ask for the serial number of a Previous version. You then enter the LR 1 serial number.

My computer that had Adobe Photoshop CS6 on it was hit by lightening and cannot be repaired. I want to get a copy of Photoshop for my new computer. I have an open case, but I cannot get Adobe to respond to it. I have sent the serial# and a copy of the license. Every time I try the chat function to get help, I get dropped with the message "chat is no longer available." I WANT MY PHOTOSHOP!

This is a user forum, not a channel to address Adobe. As your fellow users and volunteers, we'll be happy to help you if we can.
You can download the CS6 trial version just like anybody else.
Once you download it, you can install it, input your serial number, register it and apply all necessary updates.
An alternative, if you know how to access your Adobe account, under My Products you'll find your Photoshop CS6 registration, next to which you should find a link to download CS6 if you originally bought it as a download

The workaround for this problem is to revert to IE9 or earlier, install your old PSE, then reinstall the latest IE version.

If you have the CC, you may try to restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it.

Bought a unused copy of Photoshop CS but can't activate, please help.

On amazon i just purchased a old unused copy of photoshop CS for $200 (the only even remotely non disgusting/laughable price for a SOFTWARE like the photoshop cs's ranging from $600-1000+)
and the seller informed me, when i asked about it, if it could still be used and installed and the seller told me yes.
It arrived yesterday and i can't even get it to install or activate, the "activation server" is down, and the phone line auto-message says it no longer helps.
Did i get scammed and lost $200 (which i probably won't even be able to get refunded) and now am stuck with a photoshop disc that i can do absolutely nothing with?
Is there absolutely nothing that i can do in this situation?

"owners of CS2 or earlier, should download the non-activation version of CS2 from that link" the link though says, "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." It says CS2 but not CS, does that mean i couldn't use that link?
CS owners are happily downloading and using CS2 via that link.
Adobe has made no other option possible for owners of "activation required" versions earlier than CS2 so CS2 is your only option regardless of the wording at the link..
Does that in a sense mean no matter what CS copy you buy it will eventually be shut down and your access to it will be cut off even if you had bought it when it was still working?
No-one knows the future of deactivation of existing products. In the history of activation, Adobe has only ever shut down an activation server once (CS2) and made an alternative possible for owners of that version.
Activation is Adobe's inherently flawed attempt to curb casual piracy. It was always going to fail eventually. It only ever hurts legitimate owners of the software. The Cloud is Adobe's next gen anti-piracy measure.
I'm extremely repulsed by the idea of having to pay a monthly fee for CC and would rather pay a flat (but realistic) price for the CS, but will go to photoshop CC if there is no other choice because an online workshop classes program i'm looking to sign up for requires either photoshop CS or CC (but strongly discourages elements).
You can still purchase CS6 Creative Suite 6
If you're signing up for online classes, I would suspect they expect you to be running either CS6 or Cloud versions of the software.
Learning Photoshop online using 11 year old software sound like a recipe for confusion and frustration.
