CS2 student version installation on Win7

I have just recently changed from Windows Vista to Windows7 (not via Update). Unfortunately, I have not uninstalled my CS2 student version on Vista before I installed W7. Now, when I try to install CS2, my licence number is not accepted. (I suppose since it is still somewhat "taken"/ "the system" assumes that my CS2 is still installed somewhere else and denies me another installation)
The Adobe support team won't offer me help since I am now using W7... so I'd be thankful for any help/suggestions from your side greets

I have spent the better part of a day installing the Creative Suite 2.3 Premium on a new install of Win 7  64 bit.
The main issue is WHERE to install the program.  You must change the install path to     C:\progra~2\Adobe
  This version wasn't made for 64 bit and needs that special folder name to be installed properly.
If you've already tried you must uninstall...BUT first  be sure to enter photoshop if you can and TRANSFER activation.
This will save you some phone calls.  Be sure to transfer activation on adobe acrobat too.
Then go to this page  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/319/319474.html   and follow the instructions for a good clean uninstall.
Once this is done, restart your computer and re-install all the discs in the proper order and remember that special install path.
I now have all the programs working simultaneously....so far anyway.  Fingers are crossed.

  • Photoshop cs2 student version, can it be used for commercial use?

    Some years ago I bought an Adobe Photoshop cs2 student version. Can it be used for commercial use now?

    Hi Bob,
    Another guy posted on the thread:
    "Yes, if you are in the United States. Maybe in other countries."
    So if I am from Denmark, does the "Yes" still apply?

  • How do I install my old cs2 student version into my new 2014 MacBook pro? All I have is the cd and the new macs don't come with a cd drive. Also are student cs2 versions allowed to be installed to a desktop and a laptop? Help!!!

  • Student Version install of CS2

    I am running student version Photoshop 5.5.  I want to upgrade to student version CS2.  Should I first uninstall 5.5 or just load CS2 on top ?      This is a Windows XP PC.

    Not sure what you are trying to say here. If indeed you mean PS 5.5 rather than CS5.5 and also refer to CS2, then there is nothing of relevance here. They are and will remain independent from each other. The only question would then be where you got "student versions" of legacy software when all you can buy legally is current versions, but I'll leave judgement on that to Adobe's employees. If you are referring to CS5.5, then you can handle this any way you want - a suite install will recognize standalone products and remove them automatically, if you so desire, replacing it with the package version. You can of course manually uninstall just as well...

  • Can I legally use for commercial purposes the Photoshop CS6 Extended Student Version?

    Can I legally use for commercial purposes the Photoshop CS6 Extended Student Version or do I have to get the Photoshop CS6 Extended normal (commercial) version? I want to make a game and I'll use things created in Photoshop, like images. And I'll sell this game, so I'll get money with it: it's something commercial. Do I have to get the commercial version for that or can I use a Student's one?
    And can I make what I need to do in a trial version and then pay the license before selling the game or it's obligatory to have the license since the beggining?
    See you!

    You can start work on your game from the moment you download and complete the installation of the Trial version.
    No-one will be standing over you watching what you do or monitoring you remotely or noting when you pay for the software.
    You can buy the software at any time during the Trial period. However, after a maximum 30 days of using the Trial, you will have to pay to keep using the software.
    Other than that, do what you like with the Trial.
    (If you somehow finish the game after 20 days of using the Trial then you can start selling the game even if you have not yet purchased the software.)

    I bought the Adobe student version of Photoshop and Premiere Elements a few months ago - and now I am trying to use it, and the serial number that I have is incorrect - or it is only the registration number or something? It says I should have been sent an email with the serial number once the product was registered - But I never received this email. If anyone is able to help me with this issue - that would be great. the registration number is: PEPEP6-5578-6450-8871-9107  I am using a windows based system

    If I were you I would first make sure CS6 was deactivated or signed-out. Then download Adobe's cleaner and remove cc, CS6 and any other creative  application installed including Creative Cloud desktop application.  Then install CS6 and use your CS6  serial number during the install to activate CS6 standard or extended which ever the serial number is for.   CS6 Version 13.0 should the be activated. That level of CS6 is extremely bug ridden so be sure to the use CS6 menu Help>Updates to get CS6 updates.  Windows should update to version 13.0.1.3 Mac to version 13.0.6.  Not Subscription CS6 version 13.1.2...

  • Illustrator CS2 Student Edition Stuck On Computer

    I'm a windows XP user and I installed Illustrator CS2 (student edition) on my computer years ago while I was a student. The software no longer works and doesn't start up.  When I try to uninstall the software using the XP utility or repair the software using the original disc I get the following error message:
    The window was interrupted before Adobe Illustrator CS2 could be completely installed. Your system cannot be modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.
    I tried again with the firewall and anitivirus turned off, with no luck.
    Same thing is happening with my Photoshop CS2. Any ideas???

    Naja ich kanns starten, also daran wirds denk ich nicht liegen.

    Well the error message is in Swedish but says: The installation program database is damaged. Please contact the Adobe support (which is a hard thing to do!!). I use Windows 7 Home Premium with service pack 1.

  • Re-installing CS5.5 Student version on a new computer.

    I've had this computer for a few years now and its beginning to show its age.
    I also have the Student edition of Creative suite 5.5 installed on it.
    So my question is, if my computer breaks down and has to be replaced, will I be able to install my student version of CS on my new computer, without having to pay etc.
    I have the physical disc and code etc, so it should be fine right?
    Thankyou!

    As long as the software is compatible with the new machine you can install and activate.  Your license is (normally) perpetual and allows you to have two machines with activated installations, so if you purchase a new machine you can still retain the original machine as a backup if you like.  Alternatively, you can deactivate the original installation and retain the extra activation for yet another machine.

  • Trying to install the Student Version of CS6 on a second computer

    So I've just received a new PC for Christmas and want to install the student version of CS6 on it. I already have this program installed on an older laptop, but I believe that as a student I am entitled to at least two installations of CS6 on different computers. Nonetheless when I run the installer on my new PC, I get the message that my program is counterfeit. What's up with that?

    There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that, I’m afraid. You’re going to have to contact Adobe directly to get assistance with that issue.

  • How do I install CS6:Design Standard onto my iMac? I already had it on my MacBook Pro and should get 2 downloads with the student version?

    I bought the student version of CS6 Design standard 3 years ago and installed it on my MacBook Pro. I now just purchased an iMac and would like to download it onto this as well. I should be able to download it onto two computers from what I understand, but when I insert the disk for download, there is no install.app on the disk any longer. I only see set-up.exe (which is for windows). How can I get the programs downloaded onto my iMac?

  • Upgrade from student version to regular version.

    Hi,
    I purchased a student version of LR4 about a year ago.  Now I want to purchase a non-student version of LR5.  Can I just buy the upgrade or do I need to buy LR5?  If LR5 will I then have both LR4 and LR5 on my MAC?

    Yes, you can buy the upgrade "version" of Lightroom 5. Actually, there is only one version of Lightroom. The program is the same. There are just different licensing provisions. When you install Lightroom 5 you will have both versions on your computer. They will work independently of each other. You can keep Lightroom 4 for as long as you want. I still have it on my computer, but will probably remove it soon because I very seldom use it anymore.
    Since you have Lightroom 4 installed, the installation of the new version will find the needed serial number, and you only have to enter the serial number with the new version.

  • Failing Installation of Win7 on i7+ATI4850 iMac

    The Windows7 (32-bit OEM Home Premium) installation does a couple of restarts and after the second boot gets stuck on a black screen.
    Is the partial Win7 installation not able to drive the 4850 gpu?
    It seems I cannot continue the installation of Win7 on the Core i7 iMac because I can't see what I have to do next.

    @Ocean:
    It's interesting that I was able to install Win7 on my 2006 Mac Pro when Apple says it can't be done. It runs fine. I used the Boot Camp drivers on the MacOSX.6.0 install disk. It's possible I guess that there was no (up-to-date) driver for the multi-touch track pad and stuff like that but a Mac Pro does not have the need for that.
    My Mac Pro exercise reinforced for me that the early versions of the Win7 DVD can install on earlier Intel hardware but Microsoft did not include base capability for graphics cards like the ATI 4850. Hence the blackout. Maybe a later Win7 DVD will be able to install on an iMac which has 4850 graphics. Perhaps I have to wait for SP1 included on the DVD.
    Of course there is a workaround for this sort of thing where I can slipstream a copy of the DVD to include coverage for the 4850 graphics but I have no idea how to do that. Maybe someone in the Mac Support community here will figure it out soon.
    As for an updated Boot Camp Assistant promised before the end of the year, I don't see how that can install the missing ATI 4850 support on the Win7 DVD.
    So the ball is in Microsoft's court.
