How to reinstall my old Photoshop (5.0)?

My PC crashed and I need to reinstall Photoshop 5.0 and later, the CS upgrade. But I can't get the install to work. Any suggestions?

Might be because the software is tremendously out of date.  That being said, I've successfully installed Photoshop 6.0 on a Win 8.1 system.
Are you hoping to only install Photoshop 5.0 so that the CS upgrade will see it?
I have bad news and good news for you:  Even if you succeeded in the first part of this plan, you would never be able to activate Photoshop CS - the activation servers for Photoshop CS and CS2 are long gone.  Offline.  Kaput.  Finito.
That was the bad news.
Now for the good news, which will eliminate the need for you to install 5.0 at all (unless you really want it, in which case we may be able to work out a way).  Go through the following, thinking "CS" where it says "CS2".
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
The so-so news is that Adobe seems to be having a few problems with their servers.  But be patient and try again if it doesn't load, the page really is there.

  • N8 Update Anna - how to reinstall to old OS?

    Hi all,
    after updating to Anna I am having a serious problems with my Lotus Traveler app. I can not browse in my emails, after touching the browse bar the app (messages) goes back to the email overview screen. This is only one problem I got after updating to Anna. Does someone know how to uninstall Anna and go back to previous OS version? Thanx

    No, It is not possible to go back to the previous firmware (before the upgrade).
    Even taking it to a nokia care point will not allow a downgrade to be performed.
    Sadly you are stuck with the current firmware until another update is offered.
    So, As they say, The only way is up, Though up isn't necessarily always a good thing.

  • Load old Photoshop CS onto new computer without updating?

    How do I load old Photoshop CS onto new computer without updating?

    Adobe closed down the CS2 (and earlier versions) activation server a couple of years ago.
    Download a new non-activation copy of CS2 from Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Install then enter the new serial number given at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

    I looked at it, Barbara, but you can't download 9 without the discs.  I
    originally downloaded it online and Adobe now tells me it only has 10 to
    download.

    Did you not look at the link in the thread in my last post, Lorna?
    When you buy software it's your responsibility to keep the media against
    future reinstallations, whether you purchase via download or on disc. If
    you registered your software, for PSE 9 you may still find a download
    link in your adobe store account, if you purchased PSE that way, also.

    Toshiba must have or should have provided you with a CD/DVD and seril number with the machine.  however, if PSe is freezing then the first thing you need to try is to reset it to default settings.  This can be done in two ways but the easiest ay to do is to go to (I am mentioning only the one method here):
    <C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\11.0\Editor>
    Find the file called: Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Prefs.psp  and rename it to: Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Prefs.old
    For username you need to insert the correct username or Windows profile name.  Also, when you are doing this, make sure PSE is closed completely i.e. you should not have it open to do any work.
    I am assuming you know how to browse the relevant folders if they are hidden in the system because this is taken for granted here.  Also, the file names may not have any extensions but I am sure you know how to make them display on the screen.
    Good luck.

    The activation servers for CS and CS2 stopped working and were taken down. You'll need to take a look at this link for your issue: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.ht ml

  • My old hard drive crashed and had to get it replaced. How do I reinstall my old library to the new hard rive from my iphone4s so I don't lose my music?

    My old hard drive crashed and had to get it replaced. How do I reinstall my old library to the new hard drive from my iphone4s so I don't lose my music?

    Officially you don't. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    Note: The information below hasn't been updated since early 2013.

    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • I'm running out of hd space on my MBP with Mavericks. How do I move my Photoshop 5 app off the computer for more space. How can I store the PS5 app on DVD or on my backup hd for a future reinstall on my next Mac?

    I'm running out of hd space on my MBP with Mavericks OS. How do I move my Photoshop 5 app off the computer for more space, and store the PS5 app on DVD or on my backup hd for a future reinstall on my next Mac with larger hd?
    Thanks

    slaglejrp,
    perhaps it would be less expensive to just install a new disk with a larger capacity on your current MacBook Pro, rather than plan on buying a new Mac with a larger disk? Once your current disk has been cloned to the new disk, and the new disk has been installed into your MacBook Pro, that would allow you to keep Photoshop 5 on your current MacBook Pro.

    Can anyone tell me how I keep everything I had in my old photoshop, now I've updated to Photoshop CC 2014.  It did give me the option to transport over all my presets, but because I didn't have internet access at the time, it couldn't do it.  Now I'm not getting the option.  Please help.

    Migrating Presets does not require a network connection and you can still migrate your cc presets if you still have CC installed.  Use Photoshop menu Edit>Presets>Migrate Presets...  Migrating presets only migrates presets.  It does not migrate Plugins, settings, extensions and scripts.  CC 2014 is also not completely backwards compatible with CC.  Support for Flash Panels and Oil Painter filter have been removed.  So extensions like mini bridge no longer work in CC 2014

    If you have Leopard installed, you can't download anything to get to Snow Leopard.
    In order to do that you must have a Snow Leopard DVD.

  • I have a new mac and want my old photoshop on it , how get i the old serial key for the new ?

    I have a new mac and want my old photoshop on it , how get i the old serial key for the new ? My old mac is deleted ...

    We would need to know the version of Mac OS you are running and the version of Photoshop you want to install.
    The serial number is the tricky part. If you have no idea where you placed it and did not register your product with Adobe, your chances are very low of retrieving it.
