  • Need to reinstall Photoshop CS2 but it can't find a previously installed version so won't reinstall

    Photoshop CS2 told me there was a "major problem" and that I would need to reinstall the software to continue using it.
    So I used the installer CD, but it told me it could not install because there was already a copy installed, which would need to be removed.
    So I removed the old version and tried to reinstall but now it tells me it needs a previously installed version in order to reinstall.
    Adobe "customer service"chat  is 100% useless on this, referred me to the 800 #, been on hold for over 45 miinutes now, and no relevant topics found on "help" forums.
    For a multibillion dollar monopoly, you'd think they could hire a couple of customer service reps but I guess it's all DIY "support" here, so can anyone help?

    So, you are NOT trying to reinstall an upgrade, but a purchased version (not in an upgrade path from one version to the next)?
    If that is correct, there should be no request for a "previously installed version." That only appears when one is installing an upgrade.
    Are you installing from physical media (a DVD), or from a download?
    Sorry, I do not have an answer for you.
    Good luck,

  • Trying to activate photoshop cs2 on a new computer and it fails saying error code 24:24.  Any ideas?

    I am trying to activate Photoshop CS2 on a new computer.  This is on Windows 7.  The install worked fine and the application runs fine.  However, when I try to activate it says that the activation server is unreachable with an error code 24:24.  How can I activate my software?
    Thanks.

    You can't. The servers are dead and gone. Instead, see the page here:

    There are CS2 downloads, plus the keys needed to activate them. Note; you MUST download those versions and use the supplied keys, not your old ones. Read and follow the directions on the page carefully, and you will be up and running again in no time.

    What you need to do is start up in window 7 and insert the snow leopard dvd and install boot camp 3.0 and after that you can install 3.1 update.

    No, you have the web site version because this applies:
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    The rest we cannot know. You have not provided any system information or details like what browser you use, so nobody can help you with your technical issues.

    Just cahnge the e-mail account asssociated with the account.  There was no need to start another account.
    You cannot delete and account, nor would you want to.  All purchases made with an account will always be tied to that account.

  • Can't activate Photoshop CS2

    I have had Photoshop CS2 for years. Now installing it on new computer after my old one crashed. I am given 30 days to activate, but Adobe has shut down the activation server. I have my original CD, but will my Photoshop stop working after 30 days?

    See Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Forget your original CD and forget your existing serial number.
    Download the new non-activation version of CS2 and use the serial number provided at the link above.

  • How to re-activate Photoshop CS2 after my hard drive was replaced

    Help! My hard drive had to be replaced, and now my computer will not allow me to use my Photoshop CS2. I purchased this years ago, and have all of the verification codes. I have several things I am working on that I can't finish until I get it reactivated. Help!!

    Please do a forum search on "activate cs2".  It has been discussed ad nauseam here.
    Short answer:  Adobe has taken down the CS2 activation servers.  For legitimate licensees of CS2, it has posted a special version of CS2 that requires no activation but does require a new serial number, free to legitimate owners of CS2.

  • I tried to download Photoshop CS2 but it said the installation failed... What do I do?

    I downloaded a Photoshop CS2, I have a new computer, so I requested a new download. Adobe gave me a new download, but in the process, it said that the installation failed, and that I needed to contact the software  manufacture for assistance. The guy in the chat told me that I needed to come to the forums and get help here. So here I am... Anybody knows what should I do? Thank you for any feedback!

    UPDATE from another thread:
    Re: My installation fails mid way on CS2 photoshop on mac.
    CS2 is not compatible with Mac OS above Snow Leopard.

  • Need distrib Adobe Photoshop CS2  (AOO, AVL, N-A, Corporate)

    By a CS5, but our workers need to work in CS2 version. We make a downgrade and now i need a download distrib. Help anyone where i can download corporate CS2 distrib.

    You might want to contact Adobe support directly on this.  Users on this forum see only the links Adobe provides on their web site for the most part.  Adobe participates here from time to time as well, but I doubt they would provide such a link publicly here.

    Good luck getting your problem solved.

  • Registered Photoshop CS2 but have not received complimentary benefit as mentioned

    Recently I registered Photoshop CS2 product I bought in 2005, and as mentioned in the adobe leaflet documentation that came with the software there is a complimentary benefit after registration of either a free Garamond Premier Pro Font, 2 Free issues of Photoshop User,  a Layers magazine, or 60 minutes of additional video training. While I assume I registered the software previously I registered again, but did not receive a link to the complimentary benefit via email. I save all my photoshop files, but as I do not have the compilmentary benefit as mentioned above on my PC, I would appreciate any info on receiving it.
    Regards
    Je112

    My thinking is that it is too late for the benefit. All you can do is call cutomer support and see if they will honor it. But they would have to go back in their records four years just to find out. For all I know they could keep all their old records in a warehouse someplace. So they may just feel generous and give you the benefit or say your out of luck.

  • I have been trying to install Photoshop CS2 but it fails, why?

    It is always at the same loading point, "control packet" and then it crashes, why?
    I got the idea from here -> Grab Photoshop and CS2 For Absolutely Free Right Here And it is not a virus, promise
    Anyway, I have installed Photoshop CS2 on my other computer so it could be that reason, but I don't think so.
    Please help

    First off, the article you link to is WRONG. Adobe have absolutely NOT made CS2 "free" - the replacement download is only legally available to customers who already owned a copy of the CS2 applications and couldn't reinstall them because the activation servers were closed down. If you don't have a genuine paid-for license for CS2 from back in the day, you are not allowed to use it. Period.
    Also, CS2 is old. It's not designed to run on modern operating systems.

  • Activation failure - Requesting I need to activate Photoshop CS5.1 despite having done this previously & used Photoshop. Adobe can't connect to internet to activate, yet program is allowed through Firewall and not having connectivity issues through Browse

    Hi,
    I currently have Photoshop CS5.1 on Windows 7 (64 bit) and it's now requesting I need to re-activate it, despite having already done this with a serial number when I installed it and even used the program numerous times.
    I get a screen saying "Product activation is required" but every time I try to activate it, it says there was a connection issue and asks me to connect to the internet.
    I've checked my firewall settings and Adobe is allowed through. No connection issues using my Browser, Skype etc.
    Anyone got any solutions?
    Thanks,
    Westy

  • How to activate Photoshop CS2 (2005)

    Autoactivation not available (internet server and by phone).  On adobe chat, got this:
    Please wait while I transfer the chat to the appropriate group.
    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.
    The program tells me I have 30 days to activate but I can't activate.  Any way to do that or is activation no longer required as the product is so old?

    If you own CS2 there is a special version provided for you along with a special serial number for activation.  See the following:
