How can I reactivate Photoshop CS2?

My computer was upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and the helpdesk-guy who did this forgot to remove the old registration for my Photoshop CS2. Now I am trying to re-activate the program and it does not accept my activation. What to do?

Hi StinaS,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
The activation server for CS2 products is no longer available.
Please refer to the below article.

  • How can I reactivate Photoshop after reinstalling OS X from its boot partition?

    I recently had to reinstall OS X 10.7.4 because 10.8 will not run on my Mac. After the reinstall, Photoshop cannot find any licenses and does not offer me any way to re-enter my registration key.How can I get it to recognize the key or remove it entirely for a reinstall? Thank you.

  • How can I deactivate Photoshop CS2 on an old Mac?

    I tried to deactivate Photoshop CS2 on my old Mac by using the "Transfer Activation" command on the Help menu. (There is no "Deactivate" command.) Photoshop never recognizes that I do have a connection to the Internet, so I cannot proceed. Is there a way to Deactivate on this computer?

    Forget about it.
    The CS2 activation server was shut down by Adobe a couple of years ago. So you're trying to communicate with a server which no longer exists.

    If you're planning to re-install CS2 on a new Mac, that won't work since CS2 is a PowerPC application which will not install or run on modern Intel-based Macs running newer versions of OS X.

  • How can I get photoshop cs2 to recognize me as administrator?

    I have a legal version of cs2 that has worked well since I purchased it in 07.  Recently it would seem to load fine but quit at the last minute.  I have tried running the program as administrator.  No luck.  I have tried running as administrator through compatability.  I have unlocked the special administrator access in vista, uninstalled and reinstalled the program.  No luck.  All the other programs seem to run fine; it's just photoshop that seems to have locked me out.  Please help!

    I don't think that you have a PS problem, but a problem with your Vista.
    One thing to try is an elevated prompt to make the administrator active - worth a try.
    Go >Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command prompt > Right click and select 'Run as administrator'
    In the command window type: C:\>net user administrator /active:yes
    Go to the CS .exe file and right click, then try 'run as admin'
    I hope it helps,

    I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

    If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate.  The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

  • How can I use photoshop Elements 8 to make a DVD to play on a regular TV-DVD? [was:DVD-CD-r]

    How can I use photoshop Elements 8 to make a DVD that will show on a regular TV-DVD set-up

    You can't do this in PSE by itself. I'm assuming you have windows, so output your slideshow as a wmv file and then use Premiere Elements to finalize the disc, if you have that. If not, use whatever you do have (if you can burn DVDs, you have software). Even windows dvd maker will do this.

    How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

    If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe.  They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud).  You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
    If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:
