How to activate indesign cs2?

Hello.
I have bought InDesign CS2 many years ago and used it till now.
After crash of my Windows XP I can not activate new installation. I have read this: Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3, but there is no Polish version.
What can I do do use CS2 in Polish version?
Ragards, Piotr.

It's unlikely there is anything that they can do in the other forum, but the OP might want to read this old article at InDesign Secrets: Change InDesign’s UI Language with Free App | InDesignSecrets. Buried in the comments are registry settings for changing the language for windows users that might, and that's only might, work.

How can I activate Indesign CS2 Dutch?

I contacted the helpdesk and they gave me a link to a workaround. On that page I can choose English version, when I select this I see a link to Indesign CS2 among others. But I need the Dutch (Nederlands) version; when I choose Dutch, I can only download the workaround for Acrobat Pro 7.0 or Standard 7.0, there is also a (broken) link to Acrobat Pro 8.0. And no link at all to Indesign CS 2. Helpdesk says they can't help me, but my original version can't be activated anymore and I don't get an alternative?! So I can only use my official licence for 30 days (new policy since dec 13th) what can I do?

How to convert InDesign CS2 files for editing in CS5 (win)

We are a small publishing company with several top-selling language products. I need to revision a title which was published 10 years ago. The files are CS2 and I cannot open them in CS5. Seem Adobe doesn't offer any conversion utility. It seem I need to open them in CS3 then save and use CS4 to convert from CS3 to CS4, then I can use CS5. But I cannot find CS3 for sale anywhere. So I'm screwed. Please offer a file conversion service. It's just code! you can run the old versions on virtualized servers and charge $500 per file. I'll pay! I'm totally screwed. We have to recreate the entire book from scratch. I used to be an Adobe promoter, but now I'm a detractor. this is horrible.
Does anyone have old versions around could be used to get this job done?
Cheers!

OK this is seriously messed up. I just spent the day installing trial versions of InDesign CS3 and CS4 (on a Windows Virtual PC running Windows XP) and converted my files from CS2 to CS3, then C3 to CS4. But when I try to open in CS5, they still crash InDesign CS5! Something is corrupt or incompatible with InDesign CS5 even though they opened in CS3 and CS4. wtf.
Guess I'll just have to edit in CS4 and give up on bring these files any closer to the modern world? Any other ideas?
crash on open

We are still assisting other customers, thank you for your patience. You can also try ourcommunity forums, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Uninstall InDesign CS2

Hi
Can anyone please advise as to how manually uninstall InDesign CS2 and Version Cue CS2 on a mac? Adobe help gives instruction to uninstall Creative Suite CS2 wholesale in this link:
Manually remove Adobe Creative Suite (2.x on Mac OS X)
and gives a huge list of files to remove, like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. How does one determine which files are required to keep for other things, like stuff for later CS versions?
Any suggestions would be most gratefully received.
Many thanks.

I didn't say that the document is incorrect. But it seems to instruct you how to delete the whole CS2 suite and in particular the sub files/folders relating to the suite. The only note it gives regarding these sub files/folders is that anything with an asterisk next to the folder in the list might be required by other applications, and it only pertains to the Application Support in the User's Library and the Application Support in Library. There is also reminder to keep an eye on fonts required.
However, if you want to keep, say, CS2 Illustrator, but not CS2 InDesign, how do you determine which of the sub files/folders the document lists to trash are necessary to keep for that individual program's requirement? For instance, I assume (even if wrongly) that some of the files such as Application/Adobe Help Centre, Application/Utilities/Adobe Utilities and other cache and preference folders are still required to run CS2 Illustrator.
It might be a very straight forward albeit methodical task to go through dumping folders and files listed, but I'm just being very cautious in finding out earlier rather than later, what NOT to throw away in case it may cause problems once the files are dumped. I don't mean to cause offense!

Help with uninstalling InDesign CS2

A month ago, I installed CS4 over CS2.
Then, InDesign CS4 did not work because of the conflict with AMD chip in my computer. So, uisng the original CS2 disk, all programs were uninstalled EXCEPT FOR INDESIGN CS2. The reason is that I wanted to use InDesign CS2 until the problem with CS4 is fixed.
Today, after installing InDesign CS4 update (it was a sort of plug), InDesign became working just fine. So I want to remove InDesign CS2. The problem was that I was not able to remove InDesign CS2 by Add or Remove Programs or with the original CS2 disk.
Please advise me how to uninstall InDesign CS2. In

How to call javascript using applescript in InDesign cs2 Mac

Hi,
I need to integrate javascript with my apple script??? how to use it???please help me...i need it immediately..........

do script myJavaScript language javascript
In this javascript I use pares of single and double quotes.
The main java script – myJavaScript – (inside double quotes) contains another java script – myScript – (inside single quotes) which runs in Bridge via BridgeTalk.
I also put variables from AppleScript into JavaScript by using two pares of double quotes – the outside pare I escape with slashes:
set myBridgeLabel to "Red" -- a variable I defined in AppleScript
set myJavaScript to "var myLabel =\"" & myBridgeLabel & "\"; app.activate();
-- the contents of myBridgeLabel variable now becomes part of the JavaScript

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it.

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert

How much does it cost to update InDesign (CS2) to the current version?

I need to update my InDesign (CS2) to the current version. I have a file created by a version of InDesign that I can not open without installing many plug ins or updating the whole program. How much does this cost per licence?

I am sorry the upgrade is available for CS 3 and above version.
Now CS 2 is an free application.
You may purchase InDesign CC 2014 single app subscription , it will cost you $19.99

Illustrator CS2 and InDesign CS2 not starting - here is how it was solved.

This document is merely a compilation of information found at the sources named at the bottom of this document.
Basically running older Adobe CS2 Software on a MacBook Pro 10.6.x Snow Leopard - probably like many of you that either can't afford the upgrade to CS3, CS4 or CS5, or maybe don't see the need to do so. It's running good but it is slow since it is using Rosetta, but it does work - well, used to work.
Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, etc. were all running fine after the upgrade to Snow Leopard (under 10.6, 10.6.1 and 10.6.2). Then the update to 10.6.3 was installed. At the same time a bunch of other updates - including the Acrobat 8.2 update - were installed. Not really sure what did it, but all of a sudden Illustrator CS2 stopped responding at the start up screen - no longer started up and InDesign CS2 popped the registration/licensing screen. When trying to enter license info on first key press the application quit entirely.
So maybe the 10.6.3 update was the culprit. Never even thought that it could be the Acrobat 8.2/8.2.1 updates. Then I found this thread here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/613287?tstart=0 (good reading)
Which ultimately pointed me the the instructions here:
>start quote from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/534/cpsid_53468.html
Replace the corresponding files present in the “ /Library/Application Support/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/” folder with the one attached to this document.
Download the attached Mac.dmg (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/534/cpsid_53468/attachments/Mac.dmg) file to a machine where the issue is seen.
Close all Adobe applications
Double Click the Mac.dmg file to mount it.
Copy Mac folder from mounted image. Paste it to /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/.
A message appears to confirm to replace the existing 'Mac' folder. Replace the 'Mac' folder.
Launch Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.
The Mac folder attached to this KB document already has the correct permissions set, so it should not be necessary to complete the steps below. However there may be cases where the permissions for the Mac folder get overwritten. In such a case, the original issue can reoccur. To solve this issue, complete the steps below:
Follow Solution 1 and make sure that all Adobe applications are closed.
Right or Control click and select 'Get Info' on the Mac folder in “ /Library/Application Support/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/”, which you have copied from the .dmg file attached to this document.
Verify that under 'Sharing and Permissions' all users listed have no write access
If a change is required, click the padlock symbol and provide your Administrator credentials
Select the user which has Write access and change it to 'Read Only'.
Ensure the user 'Everyone' is set to 'No Access.
To check if the issue has been solved, launch Acrobat 8.2 and then Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.
< end quote
Even after following the instructions still "no love" from Illustrator CS2 or InDesign CS2. InDesign did no longer show the registration screen, but it didn't continue launching, and Illustrator progressed further along in the start up sequence but also never finished launching.
Then I found another article on the adobe site. I am just quoting the part performed and which ultimately did the trick.
>start quote from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/326/326388.html
Steps 1 and 2 are not relevant so no need to do them
3. At the Finder, choose File > Find.
4. TypeAdobeFnt10.lst (Illustrator CS2), select the system drive, and then press Return.
5. Delete all AdobeFnt10.lst files found.
6. Restart the computer.
7. Restart Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new Adobefnt10.lst or AdobeFnt07.lst file.
< end quote
So, this solved the problems at least for the time being. Hope this helps someone else a bit.

Illustrator CS2 stopped working for me on Snow Leopard as well. What it all boiled down to was not to update to 12.0.1. Not sure which release of Snow Leopard I was on when I figured that out but I keep up-to-date, am now at 10.6.6 and CS2 still works fine. I keep getting prompted to update to 12.0.1 from time to time but just cancel it.
I'm fairly sure I was at 12.0.1 already when I moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard and it was that, not a Snow Leopard update, that "broke" CS2 12.0.1. If I remember correctly, if you now try to apply the update, it won't go through with it anyway.

How can I get back the "edit original" option in InDesign CS2?

I am using InDesign CS2 version 4.0 on a new windows 7 pc.
On my previous pc (windows xp) I could open an ID document, right click on an image, select "edit original" and it would open up in Photoshop for editing. Very handy.
Now that option is just not there on the drop down. The pencil in the links menu and the option under the edit menu are both greyed out.I can't find any way of accessing the option which is really important for my workflow.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks
Sarah

Opening the document on a different computer is a meaningless test for something like this.
The link could well be present there and not on your computer.
As for XP mode, the less I say about it the better.
