Downad cs2 full version

When i put the disc to Photoshop CS2 in the drive it says contact software manager. It doesnt download from the disc is says installation error. I have a 2013 Mac Desktop. I have a brand new serial number and I'm trying to get the full version!!

CS2 will not install on modern Intel-based Macs.
It requires
Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8. PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor
If you have a Mac which meets these specs then you can no longer use your disc to install it since Adobe decommissioned the CS2 activation server.
You must download a new non-activation version from Adobe and use the new serial number provided at the following link

  • Full version of CS, to Upgrade CS2, to Upgrade CS3,

    Years ago I bought a full version of Photoshop CS for a hefty price. Later I upgraded to Photoshop CS2 for a fair price. Later still, I upgraded to Photoshop CS3 for yet more money. All in all I had roughly $1000 getting to Photoshop CS3. I now subscribe to Creative Suite, so I am happy there. I have just lost the ability to have my version of CS3. I causes me stress, even though I no longer use it, that I have lost the equivalent of $1000. I have all of my product keys on file here with Adobe, as I always have. How may I please get a working copy of CS3 that I rightfully paid for, so that I do no feel like a buffoon for losing the equivalent of $1000? It would very much help me sleep at night simply knowing this is not a total loss.
    I also bought a full version of CS4 at full price and registered it here as well, when my business at the time required Photoshop on more than 2 PC's. I do still have that disk and serial number. May I now use CS4 on 4 PC's to solve this problem? Not even that I need or want to anymore. I just hate being out $1000.
    Either way, I will continue my creative suite subscription. I wish this had been available during my time in business.
    Thank you,
    Eddie

    I'm sorry that I may have written in a confusing way.
    My main trouble is that I have no versions of the CS->CS2->CS3 to use a version of CS3. I bought the original CS and then upgraded twice to get to CS3. I no longer have those installed on any PC and lack the downloads to do so, even though I have my serial numbers registered here with Adobe.
    I do have a hard copy of CS4 that co-exists nicely with the new creative cloud package. I often catch myself using it, based on familiarity, my actions, and plugins that I accumulated over the years.
    I appreciate your help, and I am sorry have written it in a confusing way.  Thank you.

  • Policy regarding updating CS2 Design Premium Education Version to full version of CS4

    I currently have the education version of CS2 Design Premium, and would like to upgrade to the full version of CS4 Design Premium. Am I eligible? And at what price?

    Buko, It is faster, but not enough for me to invest in the equipment ($300.+) & then pay the $60-$120. @ month for 2 years! ( the $120. gets ya about what speed a midrange phone line DSL offers at $25. a month) oh well AT&T keeps saying "any day now, any day" HA!
    Neil, should anything created in the CS4 version be saved (i imagine) in a CS2 format so it can be opened If I decide or can't afford to update before trial runs out and if so can ya make a guess if I would be able to edit anything at all? (way not computer savvy!!) CS2/Studio8 is my first foray into digital design!
    Thanks Again my friends, I am continuing to be amazed at what I can & do learn on these forums! Les
    PS Thanks also to Adobe for these forums

  • Converting PM from trial to full version

    I had asked in another thread whether I could download and install the current tryout version of PM, and then use my old serial number from a PM 7 upgrade I had registered with Adobe back in 2002.  I was under the impression this process would work for InDesign, or at least since ID required "activation," but PM dates to another era and my memory is not that good.  No one answered, so I went ahead and installed the Tryout, and can now report that the Tryout version does not allow conversion to the full version by adding a valid serial number; in fact, the Tryout installs itself in a special Tryout folder, suggesting that it expects to be un-installed before the full version is installed.
    I kept searching through old stuff  and eventually turned up my original PM 7.0 CD -- an upgrade -- but not the carton it came in.  I uninstalled the tryout, installed PM7.0, and found that because it was an upgrade I needed a valid serial number from an earlier PM.  The only serial number on Adobe's cardboard sleeve for my PM6.5 Plus was for the bundled Photoshop, but having registered my purchase with Adobe I could still retrieve the number, a string of 15 digits.  PM 7 upgrade rejected this, as well as the 15-digit serial number for PM5 (not to mention the PS serial number from my PM6.5 CD).
    I had done a cautious un-install of the tryout: when the un-install process said there were elements that might possibly be shared with other programs, I let it preserve those lest I disrupt the CS2 software I still use occasionally.  After my valid serial numbers were rejected, I threw caution to the wind and re-installed the tryout so I could zap it completely.  Not surprisingly, the re-installed tryout found traces of its previous incarnation, reporting I had just 7 days remaining in my 30-day trial (I thought I'd started the day with 8).  I un-installed again, this time telling it to take everything.  I then tried installing my PM7 upgrade again, and this time it accepted  the serial number from my PM5 carton: the same 15 digits preserved in Adobe's registration, but this time broken up by hyphens, NN-NNNN-NNNNNNNNN.  I think I had tried the hyphen-less version first, and thus that the hyphens made the difference, though they key may have been the complete un-install.
    A quick test of suggests IDCS2 is happy as ever on my XP machine.  Perhaps I should add that I have carefully avoided upgrading the OS to XP SP3, dimly recalling that SP3 can complicate ID's ability to read PM files.  For what its worth, I turned up the box for my Mac PM6 which shows the serial number as a single string of 14 alphanumerics, two of which are letters.

    InDesign CS2 will not be able to open PM files on XP SP3, Vista, or Win 7.

  • Installing a full version of Photoshop 6 on new iMac running SnowLeopard

    I currently use a PowerPC G5 running OS 10.5.8. The G5 uses the old processors and Photoshop CS5 upgrade won't load because Photoshop CS5 only runs on the new Intel processors. My question: If I buy a new iMac with the Intel processors, is there a way to install  a full version of Photoshop 6, and upgrade for Photoshop 7, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5? When my daughter tried this approach, and tried to install the full version of CS 6, she received the message Classic OS was not installed so that ended the attempt. Do I have to buy a full version Photoshop CS5 for the new iMac? Thanks for any help, Doug

    Another, often cheaper, route to upgrade is to find an older version upgrade and do a two step upgrade since you are out of the Adobe window.
    You may be able to find a CS3 upgrade, buy that. Then purchase the CS5 upgrade.
    http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-CS5-Upgrade-Mac/dp/B003B32B14/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid =1294166832&sr=8-1
    This route would still cost $400. But that is still a couple hundred dollars less than buying a full version of CS5 outright.
    Just because Adobe stops selling older version upgrades, it doesn't mean all retailers stop selling them.

  • I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone

    I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone know where I can go for help?

    You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
    But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

  • I own Windows Photoshop CS and I am now working on a Mac can I upgrade from CS Windows  to CS6 Mac? or do I have to purchase the full version?

    So, just so I have this straight; would CS upgrade to CS5 or did you mean I would have to purchase CS5 to upgrade to CS6? And If so, does CS upgrade any further? i.e. CS 3 or 4? Thanks for your reply --
    CS will not upgrade to CS5. Historically, only CS2-CS4 ever qualified for upgrade to CS5. Those versions are all long superseded and no longer available from Adobe.
    Adobe currently only sells CS6 (for outright purchase) and the Cloud (by subscription only). Cloud members have access to both CS6 and CC.
    The only way to upgrade to CS6 is from CS5. Adobe no longer sells CS5. Unless you purchase the full version of CS5 from elsewhere (I don't see any point in that in this case) you would not be able to upgrade to CS6. You'd have to buy the full version of CS6. Or subscribe to one of the Cloud plans. PS+LR is an excellent deal if you use those products.

  • 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?

  • CS3 - is it upgrade or full version?

    Hi guys! I have bought CS3 on eBay and had the licence transferred to me. The seller told me that this was full version of CS3. But when I try to install from DVD, it tells me that this is an upgrade and I have to enter the serial no. of previous versions (7.0, CS or CS2). Can you definitely tell me what version do I have? The sticker on the box says DVS/A.PHSP.10.0.WIN.GEN.UE.W/SENSOR and there's a number - 90081623.
    cheers,
    Piotr

    Piotr,
    Based on Dec9's comment, it sounds like an upgrade.
    However, you state:
    had the licence transferred to me.
    Did the seller furnish you with the "official" Adobe license transfers. There is paperwork involved, and did you get that? What does it say? Adobe makes it easy for a seller to transfer a license legally to another, and there is necessary paperwork involved. You should be, first able to see how Adobe noted the software, and if there is confusion, then will have something to use, when you contact Adobe C/S on licensing/Activation issues. Or, you'll have paperwork to use against the seller when you contact eBay.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Full version pshop CS (8), upgraded to CS4. Recieved the free upgrade to CS5... will this work?

    Hi,
    Appologies if this seems like a stupid enquiry. I'll keep it quick and simple.
    I had been running a full version of photoshop CS (aka photoshop version 8). I just bought the upgrade to CS4 and also (to answer other questions on this forum) I just received the free upgrade to CS5 from Adobe. Not having an intel Mac yet I plan to sit on my CS5 upgrade till I have the machine to run it. My question to anyone who knows/has done this, can I install my CS5 upgrade given that my original full copy of photoshop was version CS (ie. more than 3 versions back)...?
    I have seen this discussion:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2734196#2734196
    but it still leaves me unsure (would Tai Lao be able to install CS5 if he wanted too I wonder...???).
    Before anyone asks I have asked Adobe via the customer support portal and they said that I 'could install CS5 upgrade from CS4 upgrade' (which still doesn't answer the question, does my having CS stop me upgrading to CS5 due to the "3 version back upgrade policy"...?
    Thanks for the help!
    Matt

    Matt,
    Focus for a second please:
    All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS.  If the upgrade does not find a previous version installed, it will simply ask you for the old serial number as well.  That's all.
    You now have a valid CS4 serial number.  When you install CS5, the installer will look for a previously installed version.  If you have installed CS4, it will proceed automatically to install CS5.  If you did not install CS4, just use its serial number when prompted. (NOTE:  This is based on the assumption that CS was indeed a qualifying version to upgrade to CS4.  I don't remember what the requirements were back then.)
    I have Photoshop 7.0.1, 8 (CS), 9.0.2 (CS2), 10.1 (CS3) and 11.0.1 (CS4) installed on my machine.  All those are upgrades from my original full version 4 of Photoshop from many, many years ago.  I can run all of them on my machine, even simultaneously If I wanted to, by launching the older version(s) first.  In practice, I have run two versions simultaneously without any problems.
    Just have your CS4 serial number handy.
    Now, be advised that an awful lot of users are having nightmarish difficulties with the CS5 installer.  If you run into trouble, don't blame it on the serial number, just blame the extraordinarily incompetent members of the pathetic installer team.  That's a team outside of the Photoshop engineering team that has proven a disgraceful embarrassment to Adobe engineers and executives.  A senior program manager has even admitted in private correspondence that he can't write in public what he would like to do to the members of the installer team.

    … (would Tai Lao be able to install CS5 if he wanted too I wonder...???).
    Of course I could, if I wanted to and had an Intel machine.  However, I have rejected Leopard and Snow Leopard, and I will stay with CS4 and Tiger 10.0.4.11 for the foreseeable future, which means for the remainder of my life expectancy, as I can't afford a new machine.

    Matt, the "3 version back upgrade policy" simply means that you have to have a valid serial number for one of the three versions, and you do have a valid number for CS4, which in turn was based on your valid number for CS.
    Stop tormenting yourself.

  • Help? PSE 9 - was a full version, now the serial on my adobe account is registered as "Beta"?

    Hi,
    I have a bit of a frustrating situation - I received a full copy of Photoshop Elements 9 (for Mac) with a printer 2 years ago, installed it and used it on and off without problem for a year or so. Brilliant.
    Earlier this year, running out of disk space, I had a clean-up of my machine to free up some space and as part of that I uninstalled PSE9.
    I now need to reinstall PSE9, but I've lost the serial number (was printed on a slip of paper with the software bundled with the printer).  So, first attempt was to recover the installed app from the Mac "Time Machine" backup from before my cleanup.  I was able to recover the PSE folder/app, but it wouldn't launch - I'm guessing there are some other system files I need or something (I'm primarily a PC user, and I suspect there are "Program Files" equivalents to consider)...
    Anyway, with that not working, I tried reinstalling from the CD (hoping there may be a "repair installation" option of some kind - but there wasnt).  So I went through the regsitration, through the adobe id login & halted once more at the serial key screen.
    After several attempts to recover from backup, uninstall, install, reinstall, (throw mac out of window....!!!) I eventually logged into adobe.com, and found to my delight that my serial number for PSE9 was accessible in my account - excellent!  So I joyfully entered that into the installation screen and .... NO!!  "error: serial number is not valid for this product".
    Frustrated at this point I contacted Adobe chat help, who (cutting another long 45 minute story short) advised that the serial number in my account was for a "beta" version of PSE9. ...even though the disc and original serial (decomposing in landfill somewhere now...!) I have is for a full version.  I have used it as I said and it is definitely not "beta" or a trial!!!!
    I noticed also that my account registration date was showing as 2nd November 2012 (i.e. that same day), despite me having originally registered with my original product installation almost 2 years prior on 12/12/2010 (I have the welcome "Your Adobe Membership" email in my GMail still).
    So with hindsight now, I'm wondering if by trying to reinstall PSE yesterday and logging in with my adobe id, my account and/or my serial number from 2010 has been overwritten with a new account(?) and "temporary" serial number?  That's all I can think of, and now I have no way of recovering my serial number! (bundled with the printer, the serial number came on a printed piece of paper, which 2 years on, I've lost)
    This is quite a specific sequence of events, I realise, but has anybody else experienced this, and if so, is there any way I can recover my original serial number (without of course paying for another licence? Or putting my wellies on & digging through the local refuse tip!!).
    Thanks to anyone who has read to here, and thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any advice!
    Thanks,
    Aaron.

    Hi,
    Just an update - I'm now attempting to do a full system restore from the time machine back to before I ununstalled PSE9.
    Wish me luck....!
    (meanwhile, downloading Gimp 2.8 on my PC to see if I can do what I need with that in the meantime!!)
    Thanks,
    Aaron.

  • I have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number

    i have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number. also, when i click buy, i get an error message saying, "application not found."

    There are two different LR’s, one with a serial-number licensing and one with a CC-signin license.
    You should uninstall the serial-number LR you have installed, then
    Quit the CC Desktop application,
    Restart the CC Desktop application—this will rescan what you have installed and not see LR,
    LR will now be on the CC Desktiop apps list, so install that.

  • On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

    On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

    My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • I have a full version of photoshop on my mac but downloaded a master collection trial, now photoshop will not open because the trial expired.

    I had a full version of CS6 photoshop on my macbook and then downloaded a Masters Collection trial a few months ago.  Photoshop has been working fine until today when I tried to go on, it told me that my trial was over.  I had the full version on my computer before I downloaded the masters collection so I thought it would still work.  Is there a way I can fix this or am I out of luck?  I really don't want to have to buy another version of photoshop again.  (I also have Bridge on my computer too from before downloading the trial and that is still functioning just fine)
