I'm trying to Transfer Activation of CS2 so I can uninsatll & Install CS3.

Can someone tell me if I keep getting error messages as CS2 being unsupported, will I still be able to uninstall CS2 & install CS3 wiyhout problems?

yes.
but, if you're licensed for cs2 and you want to use those programs and are having an activation problem, adobe has made them available here:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l

  • Hard Drive damaged, error trying to Transfer Activation for CS2

    The hard drive on my laptop is performing erratically and CHKDSK can't fix it, so it's time for a new drive. In preparation for the new drive, I tried to transfer activation of Photoshop CS2. I get the following error dialogue box message:
    "The application or DLL C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Activation\en_US\almuirsc.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."
    The only choice for this box is to click the OK button. When I do, I get the following message:
    "Sorry, a serious error has been detected. To continue using Adobe Photoshop, please reinstall the appliation."
    Any thoughts on what to do? Perhaps try re-installing and hoping that I can then use the Transfer Activation feature properly?

    I wouldn't even worry about it. Get the new drive, install CS2 and try
    to activate it. If it's denied call Adobe and explain the crashed drive.
    They'll get you running again.

  • How do I transfer activation for CS2

    I wish to transfer activation for CS2 and CS4 from a old machines to new ones.  I keep getting a transfer server error that the server is not available.  What do I do?
    I need to replace the machines.

    All you need to do is deactivate (check mark remove serial number) and uninstall if you are going to give the computer away.
    computer.  I have the original disc so I guess I'll have to transfer it
    out of the old computer.
    That doesn't make sense, if you have the original install disc, you need not and should not transfer anything. You insert the disc in your new computer and run the install.
    If you mean to tell me you do not have the install disc, then click on the link for a trial CS4 installer, download it to your new PC, enter the serial number and activate.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple)

  • Transfer activation of CS2 from XP pc to WIN7 pc fails

    So frustrating, no I am not going to upgrade..
    I had to get a new computer.. this one is WIN7 which I hate, the old was XPpro.
    Everytime I start Photoshop CS2 it displays the register popup. I try and it fails, registration server offine.
    I did some research here and see I should be transferring the activation from the XP pc to the WIN7pc so I click click and that also fails
    HELP > TRANSFER ACTIVATION
    Error code 5:12029
    activation server not available
    OPTIONS:
         retry (fails)
         try again (been there done that same response)
         call customer service, I did..
    that was an almost 105 minute call resolving squat except to tell me I either need to upgrade to CS5 for $199 or to buy yet another computer and another XP license for who know how many $$$ neither of which is going to happen in my world right now.
    Reading in here a bit it looks like there is a file somewhere on the XP box I can move to the WIN7 box that might resolve the need to register/activate/transfer activation every time I start up CS2 ??
    BTW, after I click cancel on the please register popup, the program runs flawlessly.. its just such a pain to go through that every day.. a small thing, but welcome to my world, those little nonsense things drive me batty
    Can anyone help me with this please?

    So more information, I thought I had it licked.. found info that said to delete the DAT file in the Program Licenses folder, did that and it prompted me to register, I called for a phone activation, went through that successfull YEAH.. but short lived.. closed and restarted CS2 and once again the please register popup is there..

  • CS2 Transfer Activation dimmed - can't use

    Mac Pro 2x2.66,1GBram
    OSX10.4.11
    CS2 standard
    hello,
    I hope I'm just overlooking something.
    I want to transfer activation of CS2 standard to another mac.
    When I launch InDesign, go to Help>Transfer Activation the command is dimmed and cannot be selected.
    How do I undim it? The CS2 product was correctly activated and has been in use for over a year.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Buko,
    That could be it. I believe it a group license.
    I will proceed with the installation on the other Mac, see if any hiccups occur.
    thanks,
    Peter

  • Uninstall CS2 before installing CS3?

    A back-to-basics question, but one which most surprisingly not even the CS3 user manual or installation ReadMe mention: Is there any advantage or disadvantage in removing CS2 either before or after installing CS3?
    Thanks.

    Since I started with PP2 and have yet to upgrade this app., I have not faced this one yet, but with Photoshop, I always keep the old version on the machine, until I am comfortable doing quick work with the new one. Also, I still have PS ver. 4 on one machine for a single client, who needs a special output and ver. 4 was the last to do what she needs, exactly as she needs it. It's far easier to leave a previous installation on the machine, until everything is working well and one learns the new version completely, rather than doing a reinstall, when things go south in a Project with a deadline looming.

  • Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer. Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10, which has been installed in new computer. CS5 install says I need CS2,3, or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went dir

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

  • In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. Help!

    In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the Library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. On opening the domain all I can recover is the many component parts, and when unzipped the code. Help! Mike

    Code in a domain file - really?  That is not possible because the domain.sites file does not contain any html or css code at all - the domain file is your iWeb data file and you won't see any code until you publish your website.
    If you can see html code, then you have the wrong file and it is a published version of your site which iWeb can do nothing with - iWeb has no import facility so cannot open any html files.
    Go back and ensure that you have the correct domain.sites files that can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and if you have Mavericks then you need to go to Go and press the alt key to reveal your hidden User Library, so that you can then get to Application Support and then iWeb and then your domain.sites file.
    You will also need to go and download either DomainCracker or iWebSwitch which allows you to open individual domain files under Mavericks, because from Lion onwards, you cannot open individual domain files.
    Also, it says that you are still using iWeb 08?  If this is so, you'll either need to upgrade to iWeb 09 by going to Amazon and purchasing the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set, both of which contain iWeb 09 or you need to switch to newer software that is actively being supported and developed such as EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

  • I'm trying to transfer a license to a new computer

    Hello Acrobat Community
    I'm trying to transfer a license of Acrobat Pro 7 on a Windows XP computer to a Windows 7 computer. I've deactivated the license on the old computer and I've activated it on the new computer.
    However, every time that Acrobat runs it once again says that it's noticed a change and needs to activated (again). Shortly thereafter it receives a generic error and quits.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thank you very much =)

    I have NOT used this, so do not know if it works with Acrobat... but, as far as I know, it is free from Microsoft
    IF you have Win7 64bit PRO or higher
    Virtual XP is, of course, designed for ANY old 32bit program, not just the EXAMPLE program discussed at this link... so if you have an old 32bit program that won't work with Win7 64bit PRO or higher, it is free to try this to see if it solves your problem
    This is only ONE example of using Virtual XP http://forums.adobe.com/thread/702693?tstart=0

  • Transfer activation

    I am updating hardware to a new desktop and want to transfer my Adobe Acrobat software, but when I try to transfer activation in the software, it says the server is not available.  Is there anywhere on the adobe website that I can do this transfer of activation?

    1. You CANNOT activate what you have installed; the activation server is switched off. However, you can download a replacement product and serial from here if you are a registered user: Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3 . But read on.
    2. Your product MIGHT install on Windows 8.1; it was never tested. However, it cannot be complete. In particular, on 64-bit systems (your surely is) the Acrobat 7 PDF printer driver cannot work. This is used for most (not all) kinds of PDF creation, but isn't involved in editing.
    3. There is no reduced price upgrade path (that boat sailed years ago). Acrobat 11 (called XI) is available for full price purchase, or for monthly or annual subscription.

  • Trying to transfer Acrobat Pro 8.0 from 1 pc to another

    Our engineer is trying to transfer the Acrobat Pro 8.0 licence from 1 pc to another however it will not accept the licence for the new install.  There does not seem to be a way tp deactivate the licence from the old pc.

    If there is no way to de-activate Acrobat from an old PC then either
    a) it is part of a volumen license or
    b) it is part of a Suite
    You cannot install Acrobat if it is separate from a Suite without installing the Suite and activating it as part of a suite.
