CS2 Premium reinstalling Adobe Photoshop activation problems

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Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software.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.

Problem Reinstalling Adobe Photoshop Elements

I cannot reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements. I had to reinstall my OS (7) last night. The "setup" keeps saying that I need Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. I have 9.0. Can you help me? Thanks.

OK. I didn't have any problems when I reinstalled it last year. But it's probably the version of Explorer that is loaded now. Perhaps the Dell representative I'm working with can help me out with this when he calls me on Sunday. Otherwise, perhaps I can use Paint, which came installed on my OS. I'm a typesetter, not a graphic designer. So I really only need an image-editing program for cropping figures that come in from the authors. I'll check it out. I'm not in a position to spend more money than I absolutely have to at this time.
Thank you for your time and sharing your thoughts with me!
Happy Holidays, Jeff!

Help. Need to reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Premier Elements 12. Both are pre paid programs that I had on computer, however the system needed to be reset via recovery and these programs were erased> Since I already forked out the cash for these I'd like to be using them as I am an artist and need the programs. Please, any help? Ideas?

You should try to keep the title short and sweet and put the details in the message... it's a mystery what happened regarding the download link, so here's some...

How do I Reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on Windows 8

How do I Reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

You could try downloading from here
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html
Download and save both files to the same folder then double click on the file2 (a .exe file) to start the unpack of the other file. May take a little while to get going.
Or you could copy the contents of the DVD to a memory stick on the PC with the DVD drive and then use that.

I need to reinstall Adobe Photoshop 10. Is the download still available?

I need to reinstall Adobe Photoshop 10. Is the download still available?

Sadly, it looks like that site has expired and the download is no longer there.
The link works fine. I just tried it and it's the link given to everyone who posts here asking for a link to Elements 10.
You must follow the Very Important Instructions (steps 0 to 6) on that page first otherwise the download links will not work.
Once you've followed the instructions then click the download link.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Problem

I have successfully installed Photoshop CS6 to my computer. However, when I open the front page to CS6 everything "freezes up", and I cannot open any of the tabs - not even the file or close tabs.
Have uninstalled and re-installed the CS6 several times with no effect. Am installing from a boxed disc that I purchased from Adobe.
Ted Wolfe

Got it solved by going by adding the latest updates to CS6.

Lost serial number and need to reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

After wiping my computer clean, I had to reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 but realized I no longer have the box with the serial number. I purchased the softward from a camera company called B&H Photo but they don't do anything but ship. I have the external box with barcode but not the internal box with serial number. What can I do to reinstall?

I finally found the correct download page through exploration. I'm sorry I didn't keep track of my path. Anyway, I've got it working!
Ned, the page you just gave me is where I started. Clicking on "Adobe Elements 12" opens a table describing the product with links because of the way it's set up, I thought the table was inviting me to download the Japanese version or the German version, but no English!
Thank you so much.

My computer crashed I am trying to reinstall adobe photoshop elements. I Have done the set up but it is saying my order number is not valid.
Please help.

Hi Matthew,
Checking your account I am able to see that you have purchased Acrobat 9 Standard and since the current version is 11, the download link has been removed from the accounts. However, Try the following Forum discussion and that should be able to resolve the query that you have.

Reinstalling Adobe Photoshop 10

I need to reinstall Adobe Photoshop 10, when I insert the DVD I only get the option to uninstall. How can I get Adobe Air back? When I try downloading it, it doesn't work.

Can you provide us with more details : your operating system, the error message you get, and any other information that could act as pointers.
I found this solution on a forum thread for Mac OS (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2944564).
1. Please confirm that PSE is/was the only Adobe application installed on the machine? (Reader is an exception)
2. If yes, then please remove the following folders:
Applications\Adobe Photoshop Elements <version number>\
Applications\Adobe Bridge <version number>\
Applications\Adobe Extension Manager <version number>\
Applications\Utilities\Adobe Utilities\
Applications\Utilities\Adobe Installers\
<Macintosh HD>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\
<Macintosh HD>\Library\Application Support\Logs\Adobe\
<Macintosh HD>\Library\Application Support\Preferences\com.adobe.....\
<Macintosh HD>\Users\<username>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\
To be on the safer side, after following the above steps, run the clean up script following the steps mentioned in the below link and make sure that no CS5 product or PSE 10 is listed in it:

How do I reinstall adobe photoshop v7.0 on my new computer with serial #?

How do I reinstall adobe photoshop v7.0 on my new computer with my serial #?

I have been working with P/S 7.0 for a long time. M y DELL desktop crashed
and I lost everything in my working projects. I want to load the program
onto my laptop (enough space) but all I can find is my serial number. I don't
know if I EVER had a program disc. Can I find the download and use my old
serial # to access it? I really don't want to buy again and I don't know
what would have equal capabilities.

When I install Adobe CS2 Premium everything except Photoshop CS2 installs?

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.

Trying to reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS3 Design Premium - I receive an error saying I need to insert Photoshop CS4 to continue install. How to do this???

I recently got a new computer and transferred programs over to it (it's a Mac Pro). But now my Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional application no longer works so I need to reinstall. (Acrobat 8 originally was bundled with CS3 Design Premium.) I no longer have the disks for these programs, so I downloaded the CS3 Design Premium from Adobe's website. Upon opening up the .dmg file and starting the install process, I'm prompted with an "Install Error" telling me: "Please insert Adobe Photoshop CS4 to continue installation." I do not have a disk for PS CS4. How do I continue the install??
Thank you,
-Kristine

Transferring files between machines doesn't work for Adobe applications. You should uninstall anything you transferred over and use the cleaner tool for it. Then download and install the CS3 suite as a whole.

Cs adobe photoshop.. problems to activate it

Hi
We have long time ago installed Adobe Photoshop CS v.8 to an old pc. We don´t have this old PC anymore..Now we are trying to install this software to an other pc.
We tried to install this software to an other PC. We gave the serial number and get the activation code. But then we get error that "you have entered an invalid authorization code. Verify the number, re-enter it and click next"... I asked help from the Adobe virtual help.. and they informed me that they are not helping with this issue, because the version of our software is so old... so we would be very pleased if some one could help with this issue. Thanks

See Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Applies to CS as well as CS2.
