CS2 serial # problem

Desktop fried--got a new one-- downloaded CS2 online as instructed but it is not accepting the serial number from my CD version I had purchased --
I KNOW the # is good--- now what?

Actually, you'll need to use the new serial number that came with your  CS2 download.   The old activation server's are gone.

  • InDesign CS2 Printing Problems

    I teach in a Mac computer Lab (mac OS X) and InDesign CS2 is a huge headache for me; my students can't print their work half the time. I read online a lot of member posts about InDesign CS2 printing problems. Would a CS3 upgrade help?

    CS3 upgrades are no longer available now that CS4 is out!
    Perhaps if you described your particular problems, members of this forum could assist you. Note however, that CS2 was not supported on MacOS X 10.5 (Leopard).

  • Can't find CS2 serial to install CS3 upgrade version (*@*! Yosemite)

    Hi all,
    Am having to re-install my CS3 (old I know, but still does the job) after having to wipe my hard drive after making the mistake of upgrading my OS to Yosemite... trouble is, as it was the upgrade version (had to install CS2 first) I now need to enter my CS2 serial - which I don't have.
    Still waiting for answer on the "Chat" service (customer support no longer 'does' customer support for this) and nothing in my products page in my Adobe ID so a little stuck at the mo !
    Any solution MUCH appreciated

    Hi Ned,
    Thanks for the (extremely prompt!) answer - I've marked as "correct" as I reckon it would work (the installation dialogue box only required a valid CS2 serial and the one on the download link - 1130-0412-8377-1896-9751-5759 - should work, according to what the page states).
    Fortunately I managed to find (an old sketchbook that I was using at the time that had a note of both my CS2 and CS3 serials so managed to finish my install from that... one advantage of hoarding old notebooks !
    Thanks again, and much kudos to you !
    NB. If anyone else has the same issue (re-installing the upgrade version of CS3) then there is no need to install CS2 first before installing CS3 - the system should know you had a valid CS2 and only requires the valid serial.

  • How do I get CS5 upgrade to recognize CS2 serial number

    Copy of CS5 upgrade whether downloaded or off CD will not recognize the CS2 serial number as a good number -- how do I load this on a new computer

    Found the answer -- http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-serial-number-qualifying-product.html
    Contact Adobe Support for unlocking 
    If you can't resolve the issue, an Adobe Support agent can help. Adobe Support uses a process called unlocking to bypass the Serial Number Upgrade screen.
    Important: Adobe Support cannot unlock your serial number until they verify that you qualify for the upgrade. When you contact Adobe Support, be at your computer to complete the following upgrade verification workflow.
    Chat with an agent
      Click Chat Now, above, to contact an Adobe Support agent.
        Do one of the following in the Serial Number Upgrade screen: 
    Windows: Press Ctrl+Shift and then double-click.
    Mac OS: Press Command+Shift and then double-click.
      The Upgrade Code window appears.
        Read the Challenge Code to the Adobe Support agent.
    I was able to get the unlock code by chatting with an agent  -- almost 2 hours  but have the product CS5.5 Design Premium installed and it now shows as registered in my account.  Thank you for your help

  • Reloading CS5 upgrade using CS2 serial number

    Several years ago I upgraded from Photoshop CS2 to CS5.  I recently had to have my computer reformatted.  When I have tried to reload my CS5 upgrade using the CS2 serial number it isn't accepted.  I went to the Adobe site and downloaded CS2 but I still can't reload my CS5 disk.  From Adobe it seems I need a code to unlock the CS2 activation but I can't seem to get help this way.  Now what do I do?

    Now what do I do?
    No need to -re-install CS2 at all.
    Just install the CS5 upgrade (the upgrade contains the full program code), enter your CS5 upgrade serial number then enter your CS2 serial number when prompted.

    use your own cs2 serial number if you're installing an upgrade.

  • CS2 serial number problems

    I am moving CS2 from an older Mac to a newer one.  When I tried to register, Adobe says to download the install from their site.  I downloaded the CS2 from Adobe, but when I begin the install it says my serial number is invalid.  I have tried my original serial number from my disks, and I have tried the serial associated with the download from Adobe.  Neither serial number will work.  Now what?  When I mount the downloads, the serial number is the first thing called for.  Without a valid serial number I can't get any further in the install process.
    Tom Stewart

    So when you download the install files and use the serial number from the link John provided you receive the message that the serial number is invalid?  Please make sure you are using the installers from this link as the version you have on CD will not accept the volume license serial number.
    If you are using the installers from the link provided by John then which version of Mac OS are you using?  Do you have any other Adobe Creative software installed on your computer?  If so what software titles do you have installed?

  • CS2 installation problems

    Having downloaded CS2, found the correct serial number, got past the "insert disc 2" problem and finished the installation, I now get an error message on launching the application as follows:
    "Your adobe photoshop user name, organisation, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit".
    Sure enough when I click OK it closes the application.
    All suggestions welcome

  • Adobe Premiere CS2 Export Problem.

    I'm running Adobe premiere CS2 on a windows XP machine, and I'm having trouble exporting are Sunday services. I'm encoding them into Adobe with a Matrox RT. Here's my problem, I can export the message part of the service fine which is about 20 to 30 minutes long. But one are trying to export the entire thing worship and the message. It gets to about 3000 to 4000 frames and stops. If you click cancel the whole thing locks up and you have to restart the computer. If I try rendering the same thing again it stops but it doesn't stop in the same place. I have three gigs of RAM and 2 dual Xeon 1.8 gig processors in PC. And more than enough hard drive space. Does anybody have any idea on what's going on how I can fix it.

    try that. it's all most like its something in the video. is there a max time you call export?

  • Photoshop CS2 launch problem

    Most of the time I attempt to launch Photoshop CS2 it fails. I have to try 2 or 3 times before it's successful.
    I've put a new alias in my dock and still have the same problem. It's ok when I double click on the icon in the application folder.
    I've repaired permissions and disc and it still happens.
    There are some times when it works ok, but mostly it doesn't.
    If any suggestion is to re-install the application, do I just install over the old app or do I have to delete the old app before the new installation?
    Has anyone any advice as to what the problem could be?
    Thanks

    Hello Frank,
    Sometimes preference files can get corrptped and perhaps that is the issue with your Photoshop CS 2 software. Locate this file or one that looks similar: com.adobephotoshopcs2.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Locate that file from the Preferences folder, drag it to the Desktop. Try to launch Photoshop. If it functions as it should, drag that bad .plist file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to delete a pref file as Photoshop will create a new clean one the next time you launch Photoshop. You will have to reset your Photoshop preferences, but that's one sure fire way to correct a bad pref file.
    If that doesn't help... same path... locate this file: com.apple.recentitems.plist Same routine... see if that helps.
    And, always, when applications are stubborn... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities menu.

  • InDesign CS2 has problems with multiple hard drives

    I have a mac pro that has two external hard drives attached to it. One is connected through usb and the other firewire. When ever I try to open an inDesign file on the hard drive that mounted second I get an error message. However I the hard drive that mounted first works just fine.
    The error message is: "Cannot open the document xxx. You may not have permission or the document may be open already. For multi-user access, close the file and then lock it using the File > Get Info command in the Finder."
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I've not had any such problem. It's been a while since I used CS2, but I definitely used it on computers with more than one disk attached. I don't think I had a mix of FireWire and USB drives though.

  • PhotoShop CS2 MultiMonitor Problems

    Hi, I recently built my dad a new machine for his work.  The machine is set for multiple monitors (3) and to dual boot to Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and XP Pro 32bit.  I installed PhotoShop CS2 on the Win7 partition, and everything seemed to go well.  However when photoshop's main window is extended across all 3 monitors the window starts to artifact/glitch, and so does the desktop, causing many things to be unresponsive when clicking on them.  I can pull up task manager without any problem and close PhotoShop which immediately ends all problems.  This problem only occurs with photoshop's main window.  It does not occur in any other programs, nor does it occur with the photo editing window (the window the actual picture is displayed in.)  This multi-monitor setup was running on an older machine without this problem.  The problem occurs when about 2 and 2/3rds of the screens are taken up horizontally, the vertical size has no effect.  It doesn't matter which monitor is the third monitor, as soon as the main photoshop window hits a certain horizontal length the problem occurs.  If I reduce the resolution of the monitors the problem does not occur.  This leads me to believe it’s a problem photoshop’s main window is having after reaching a certain horizontal size.  Has anyone else had this problem, or know of a solution or at least a reason this is occurring if there is no solution?  I would like to get this problem fixed so my dad can take full advantage of the screen real-estate available for his work productivity.
    Here's the new machine's setup:
