CS2 can not be activated (discontinued?).

I have built a new 64bit computer and my legal Photoshop CS2 activation is not accepted either on-line or by automated phone (Obviously Adobe have discontinued it and subsequently locked me out). My dilemma is which Adobe Product should I purchase. The features within Lightroom 5 seem excellent but I also require to work in layers and need the extract feature as in CS2. I am retired and an avid photographer. Can anyone please advise.

Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2 or older products, Acrobat 7
Though you will face tons of compatibility issues on current versions of Windows, so carefully weigh if it's actually worth the trouble or if it wouldn't be easier to just sign up for Creative Cloud...

  • HT1267 I have a factory unlocked Iphone 4S, it worked fine but it was lossing the signal and going into search, I decided to restore, but now can not activate it, a message can not be activated because the server is temporary unavailable try again later??

    I have a factory unlocked Iphone 4S, it worked fine but it was often lossing  signal and going into search, I decided to restore, but now can not activate it, a message can not be activated because the server is temporary unavailable try again later, I have tried this for 3 days, any suggestions?

    yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
    and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
    trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
    no worries

  • I tried upgrading my Ipad to IOS 4.3 and now i get a message that my ipad can not be activated. HELP!

    I recently tried to upgrade the software on my Ipad to IOS 4.3 (in order to get Google Earth and now I get this message:"  Your Ipad can not be activated because the activiation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your Ipad to ITunes [i did] to activate it or try again [i did sever times] in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support"

    You can only update to the current iOS 5.1.1.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    That means your phone is now a brick. Congratulations.
    That's a risk you take when you decide to hack the phone.
    You can't get any help here. Discussing hacked and jailbroken devices is forbidden by the terms of service.
    Maybe you can find something on google that will help you.

  • HT1937 Hi few days ago I bought a second hand iphone 5 white 64 gb, and when I try to activate it I see the following message: "This iPhone can not be activated for service.please contact your carrier or AppleCare"

    Hi few days ago I bought a second hand iphone 5 white 64 gb, and when I try to activate it I see the following message: "This iPhone can not be activated for service.please contact your carrier or AppleCare"

    So then do what it says...contact Apple or your wireless carrier.
    However your phone is probably locked to another carrier and cannot be used on yours.

  • Anyone get a message saying ipad can not be activated because the activation server is unavailable?

    anyone get a message saying ipad can not be activated because the activation server is unavailable?

    4 possible causes for that error message:
    1] Activation server is actually down. Very rare occurrence, and of short duration when it
    does happen. Solution - try again.
    2] Your firewall and/or antivirus software are preventing the necessary connection. Solution -
    temporarily disable your firewall and/or antivirus software until the activation completes.
    3] computer being used for activation has been used to jailbreak an iOS device in the past.
    Solution - use a different computer.
    4] iPad has been jailbroken. Google may provide some direction, but jailbreaks often prevent
    updates from succeeding. Per Terms of Use for this forum, discussion of jailbroken iPads is
    prohibited.

  • TS3992 i got problem updating my iphone 3g. my phone doesn't work now. it says no service and can not be activated.beside that it says insert sim even it has sim. please help me.

    i got problem updating my iphone 3g. my phone doesn't work now. it says no service and can not be activated.beside that it says insert sim even it has sim. please help me.

    I have just created this account to tell you that nothing would change if you restored your phone.
    The first NO SIM nuisance happened just a week ago. Nothing had been done to the phone before that. I pressed HOME + POWER buttons to restart the phone and SIM card was successfully recognized as if nothing had happened. Then I had a lucky week, not reminded of this issue at all.
    Today, however, the same problem keeps annoying me. I've used the same method to heal the phone but all I have done seems more like a placebo. So I tried the ultimate solution, restroing it in iTunes.
    Ridicuously, the moment I finished basic setup on the newly restored phone, the same NO SIM CARD INSTALLED message poped up.
    So IMO, it's not what you should do to erase and restore your phone.
    Plus, I called my native carrier and they said no such problems have been submitted. And since my nano SIM card is quite new (three months old), I'm not going to replace it.
    I googled this problem and found something on a Hong Kong webpage. The author of that thread points out that there is a flaw in the SIM card tray that prevents the phone from successfully recognizing SIM cards.
    And I really hope Apple could probe into this issue and give official solutions other than restarting / restoring the phone like an idiot.

    AdaS_VZW,
    I'm not sure if the area has been surveyed; it's a large group of apartment buildings about a within a couple miles of Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia, so I would imagine that it probably has, but I'm not sure. How would I find out?
    I understand that the Network Extender does not support LTE connections (I know there are two models, the 1x-only and 3g, both made by Samsung - I have the 3g model, SCS-2U01). I know that it can support a 3G data connection, but that should be irrelevant - I'm always connected to my wifi network in my apartment.
    What's particularly vexing, however, is that both a Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Nexus in my apartment (the other lines on my account) do not seem to have this issue. While I haven't done so with the S4, the Nexus exhibits this problem when my SIM is in it - and again, this is a fresh SIM from just a few weeks ago.
    I'm currently trying to disable Mobile Data when in the apartment to see if that will make it more stable. I'll post in a day or two with results from that.

  • HT1414 Hello, I tried to to update my ipone 3s but it says it can not be activated. could you pls help

    I tried to upgrade my iphone 3s ios from 4 to 6 so that i can download some things on it. through the process it tells me that my iphone could not be activated. now I have no service or phone could u pls help?

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Unauthorized modification of iOS
