Is CS2 free for everyone?

I've researched and cannot find a for sure answer.
I am unable to call Adobe, and unable to find an email for them.
The question is; although it's possible to download and install Photoshop CS2 from Adobe's website, is it intended and legal to do so by someone who has not purchased CS2?

Quoted from this link: Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
"The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products."

Apple said that the iWork will be free for everyone.

I have a new iPad mini bought on 20 August and iWork is still paid.(Just a dollar smaller).What's the problem. Can somebody tell it to me?

No, Apple did not say iWork will be free for everyone. The notes on the iPhone 5S tech page says:
iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated after September 1, 2013. See www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ for iOS 7 compatible devices. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.
That means an iOS device activated for the first time after September 1. No way does that mean "everyone."

Antenna Issue, bumpers free for everyone until recall or software solution

I have mine since yesterday, the antenna issue is unacceptable. I'm thinking about returning it but I changed telephone operator and it won't be simple to rollback the process.
I think, no I demand that, the bumpers should be free for everyone who bought an iPhone 4, until a patch or hardware solution is offered.
An official communication about the issue is also required before christmas.

Skype Group Video: Free for everyone or not?

I've been paying for Skype Premium for 2 years now for group video chat. Now I read EVERYWHERE including Skype's website that says Skype Group Video chat is now free. So I chat with a Skype customer service guy to find out why I was charged for Skype Premium and why I even need it anymore. He tells me Group Video is NOT free for everyone and that it's coming in the near future. I asked him why the FRONT PAGE of Skype.com says it's free and all he says it that it's not free.
Anyone know what the deal is?
Here's page 2-3 for our chat log:
Spectral : at 16:20:44
so if Group calling I now Free, I do not need Skype Premium? Since that's all I used it for
Jogel V: at 16:18:06
Alright..
Jogel V: at 16:18:20
But you still don't have this free premium Robert..
Jogel V: at 16:18:43
What do you want to do to your Skype Premium? Tell me please so I can assist you
Spectral : at 16:22:24
Sorry, I don't understand. The front page of Skype says Group calling is now free for everyone
Spectral : at 16:22:48
I was paying for Premium to get Group calling.
Spectral : at 16:23:10
so now that group is Free. I do not need Premium
Jogel V: at 16:20:29
Yes I understand..
Jogel V: at 16:20:43
We cannot do that just in one day Robert..
Spectral : at 16:23:43
do what?
Jogel V: at 16:20:54
It takes time for everyone to have it..
Jogel V: at 16:21:06
It's moving Robert.
Jogel V: at 16:21:15
You can wait.
Jogel V: at 16:21:39
Like what I ve said, you will receive notification about this once Free Group video calling reached
you.
Jogel V: at 16:21:43
*reaches
Spectral : at 16:24:49
so group calling isn't Free even though Skype Web page says it's free?
Jogel V: at 16:22:19
It's free for some users Robert. As of now.. not for all.
Jogel V: at 16:22:27
We are still working on it.
Jogel V: at 16:22:43
I hope you understand..
Jogel V: at 16:23:01
So to settle this Robert, what do you want to happen??
Spectral : at 16:27:06
sorry, I don't. I know what you're saying. But why does www.skype.com says "Group calling is
now FREE". Nowhere does it say it's free to only "some" people.
Jogel V: at 16:24:27
Yes..
Jogel V: at 16:24:39
Because people think Skype is unfair.
Jogel V: at 16:24:45
Why just for some right??
Jogel V: at 16:25:04
The reason why we put "ALL" because all users will have it..
Jogel V: at 16:25:13
Just wait robert..
Spectral : at 16:28:10
"Will" have it?
Jogel V: at 16:25:29
Yes! "will" have it..
Jogel V: at 16:25:35
I said, it's moving..
Spectral : at 16:28:28
so Skype group calling isn't free right noiw?
Jogel V: at 16:25:43
For some//
Jogel V: at 16:25:49
not all users..
Jogel V: at 16:26:00
AS OF NOW..
Jogel V: at 16:26:34
Would there be anything else?

Indeed we had some changes recently with Group Video calling becoming a free feature in Skype. Some further reading here: http://blogs.skype.com/2014/04/28/skype-loves-bringing-groups-together-with-free-group-video-calling...
We therefor upgraded Skype Premium subscriptions as detailed here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34454/what-s-new-with-group-video-calling
The Skype Premium subscription you have includes an unlimited calling option to a country of your choice. This should get upgraded to an "Unlimited World" subscription allowing you to call 60+ countries while keeping the same subscription price. This upgrade hasn't seem to have happened yet for your account though.
If you don't think you will use the calling subscriptions please follow the instructions here to cancel your subscription. Then follow the instructions here to request a refund: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA297/how-do-i-request-a-refund

CS2 free for a company to use ?

Cs2 free for company to use?

CS2 is not free. If you never bought it back then, you are not allowed to use it, no matter whether as a private person or a company.

Why is visual voicemail free for iPhone but not for other phones?

I recently activated an iPhone on my line -- temporarily -- and found that visual voicemail was included and didn't cost a dime. Can anyone explain why visual voicemail is free for iPhones but if you want it for any other phone it bears a monthly charge?

Also VVM is also free for everyone. The $2.99 is for the premium version. You can search the FAQ and there's a pricing list and shows what you get.

I am having a hard time with a page that is working for everyone else. When I click on anything in the site I get a message that says "The page you were looking for doesn't exist." This is happening on both my ipad 2 and my iphone 5. I cleared my cache

When I click on anything in the site I get the message " The page you were looking for doesn't exist." This website works for everyone else, but not on my iPad 2 or iPhone 5. I cleared my cache and history on the iPad, but it still isn't working.

I live in Germany and my credit card is in my native country of Holland .. then it
doesn't accept my credit card.
Your first statement explains the second statement. To use the German iTunes Store, you need to prove that you're a resident of Germany (that is required by the content owners who will not allow cross-border sales) and the only way Apple can provide such a verification is by requiring that you enter in either a German credit card or a German-purchased iTunes prepaid card. Since I presume the former is not a possibility, you'll need to do the latter if you wish to purchase content from the iTunes Store. Again, this is not Apple's choice but is forced on them by the content owners as a requirement for Apple being allowed to sell the content. The EU is working on regulations that would force the content owners to allow access pan-EU, but that's still in the works.
You do not need an iTunes Store account to activate and run your iPad, though; at least, I didn't need one for either of my two iPads. If you only want to set up an account so you can get free iPad apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
As to the German iTunes Store in English, you can comment to Apple on that via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Regards.
P.S. Regarding "this is the only place for a complaint and that will no doubt get removed because
I'm not full of happy joy sparkles.
As stated in the terms of use to which we all agreed, this isn't a complaint forum, it's a technical support forum. You don't have to be full of "happy joy sparkles", but posts that are nothing but complaints may indeed be removed. If you want to complain to Apple, use the feedback pages.

Have a question for everyone

I am going nuts with this "cannot read from or write to" problem so many of us are having. My question is, exactly how many of us are there here having the same problems. Since we are consumers, and we have purchesed a product and are recieving absolutly NO help, there may have to be some "legaly" agressive action.
What do you all think?
I bought these two iPods because they were "Supposed" to be the best. My buddies Mp3 player from Wal-Mart is kicking mines *$$...
Jeff

I guess I need to clarify myself. In no way am I saying we should get together and sue Apple. I am saying that in all the discussions I have had with SOME of Apples reps, being told I am the "First case they have heard of" and still not getting anywhere was REALLY starting to get me upset. Until yesterday, I got ZERO help. Yesterday I spoke with a very nice rep from Apple who directed me to the following site( depot.info.apple.com )
Marc, not shure what "Flooding" is and for the record, I am NO Wal-Mart fan. I am only here looking for help and answers for everyone who is having a very difficult time.
I would like to be able to get these going again. Problem free.
I will try all suggestions..
Thanks all,
Jeff
PS HappinessIsWinning, Go to the link that I mentioned above, put depot.info.apple.com in the address bar and hit enter. Follow the directions and go from there. Give Apple a chance to resolve your problem. ( I'm as upset as you my friend.)

Is CS2 free? Found site that said was free and supplied download but required serial number.

If you did not own a legitimate license for the original CS2, you're stealing software, no different than so many software pirates.
Legitimate CS2 licensees can also download the new serial number, on the honor system.
CS2 is pretty old by now, and any version of ACR that runs on it is so obsolete that you'll be leaving an awful lot of image quality on the table.
Cease and desist.

Adobe CS2 (free) In a classroom?

I have a classroom in an elementary/middle school with old, low-spec PCs that would like the old, free version of Adobe Photoshop CS2 installed. My only concern is that each copy needs an Adobe Sign-In. I was wondering if we can use 1 sign in across all computers, or if there is a better way to Go About this. I also want to make sure we can install Adobe Photoshop CS for these computers in an elementary school.
This is the article where I read about Photoshop CS2 being free, as well as found the link to Adobe's site with the free serial number:
Adobe Photoshop CS2 Free Download - TechSpot
Thank you.
Randy

Thanks for the quick response. I'm reading another article and it appears that Adobe confused people (myself included): via lifehacker: "It looks like the whole thing was a bit of an accident. According to Adobe Forums staffer Dov Isaacs, Adobe is simply terminating the CS2 activation servers today, and for whatever reason that lead to a pretty simple way to download and register CS2 for free.".
On top of the confusion, blogs blew it out of proportion.

Why is it possible to download CS2 free from other sites?

Sorry to dredge up an old topic but please could someone clarify.
My understanding is that CS2 'free' downloads, were intended only for use by existing CS2 license holders in the event that they needed to reinstall their software. Is that still correct?
CS2 is listed as a freeware download on other websites e.g. [link removed by admin] Surely it is illegal to download and use the software unless you hold a valid license for it?
Did I misunderstand?

Hi Richard,
Thanks for reporting the same.
I would go ahead and get the same looked upon.
Thanks

How to create files with read/write privileges for everyone?

I have two iMacs 7,1 (one with Snow Leopard and the other with Mountain Lion) in a local area wireless network.
I have shared the "documents" folder in the Snow Leopard iMac in order to have files available to the other iMac. The folder has read/write privileges for everyone.
When I create a new file in the shared "Documents" folder (for example a new Open office document, or a Keynote presentation) this file is by default "read/write" for the Administrator but only "read" for all the other users, so when I try to open it from the other iMac, I am informed that the file is "read only".
I can obviously change the privileges of the file in the information window, but I have to do on a file per file basis and this takes too long.
Is it possible to change settings in order to create files which are always "read/write" for everyone?
And, secondly, since I have several existing files whose privileges I should manually change one by one, is it possible to make global changes of their privileges?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

couple of different changes - 1st, if you want to share folders, doing your whole documents folder is not the best way. Since both your computers can handle AidDrop, that's what I would recommend - http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/14/how-to-use-airdrop-in-mac-os-x/ - as it create an instant Ad-Hoc network between the two computers and then let's it done.
A second possibility that may not be what you're looking for, is to use google drive or some similay cloud sharing app to sync the documents back and forth. both of these solutions will transfer the files well, but the airdrop may be simplest

Free for a Day apps - Legal to use in Configurator?

Today, several paid apps we have our eyes on to purchase for use on our classroom iPads through the VPP program are available free for the day, so I downloaded them and installed them in Apple Configurator, where they indeed show up as being free in the list of apps and can be installed on iDevices without problems.
We are concerned that somehow this is not legal to do, but I cannot find any verbiage indicating this illegality. I'm assuming that if the app is free, it is truly free, no matter how and where we use it, as we use many free apps in Configurator.
Using the same logic, if I paid for 10 copies of ComicLife through VPP yesterday, but today ComicLife is free, I could not ask for a refund.
Does anybody have any definitive information?

Hi Derek,
Apple Configurator checks to see if the app is free at the moment you import the app into Apple Configurator. If a free app is imported and Apple Configurator finds that it is no longer free, you will be required to import VPP app codes for it. If the app is still free as you import it then it stays free forever on that particular computer. Each computer does this check independently.
Hope this answers your question!

I have CS2 and am interested in buying CS4,or CS5, or CS5.5 used. Will my serial number from my CS2 work for an upgrade version?

Like to own hard copy CS at the cheapest possible price.
CS2 will not work with Lion.
I'm looking at used CS4 upgrade discs that are for sale.
Will my serial number from my CS2 work for the upgrade?

There are no upgrade paths from CS2.
If you purchased used software you're pretty much on your own. Much of what is sold on places like eBay or Craigs List doesn't have valid licenses. Caveat emptor.

Is CS2 free for everyone?
