Old Serial # not working to re-install Adobe Photoshop CS2 on different computer

Having a problem installing my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2 - I have the CDs and I have the serial # from the installation on the old computer, but when I enter the information on the new computer, it tells me it is an invalid serial number. The old computer is a Windows 2000 computer and is running version 9.02. Please provide any assistance you can, as I would like to move the program to my new computer. Thanks! Bob

I was able to login to the Adobe Licensing website (https://www.licensing.adobe.com) as I found an older user ID from the paperwork when we first bought the product in 2005. I was able to bring up the End User ID, which gave me the 24 digit serial number needed to install on the newer computer. The older computer only had 20 digits listed on the software for security purposes, so I needed 4 more digits. Once I got the right serial number, I was able to properly install the Adobe Photoshop CS2. Thanks to Jeff A. Wright for his help!

You can try downloading the 64 bit version. You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Re install Adobe Photoshop CS2

31/05/2013.
The question is for someone with Photoshop CS2 on Windows 7.
I presently had to reformat my hard drive to get rid of a bug that left me with a black screen.
After all is reset started to ri install my old programs. One of them is Adobe Photoshop CS2.
After installing CS2 I tried to register it, and Adobe come up saying we don't support this program any
Go to such and such a sight for help.
I have triad that and do not find a satisfactory solution to register.
They say there is a free version somewhere.
If that is the case why not organize that so the old program on my disk gust install and validate at the same time.
Adobe have all my details and how many programs I use from them with registrations. ( About 10-12 programs.)
Why make it harder to old customers of Adobe??? I like CS2 for a number of reasons. Some functions there not in CS5 or different and not as handy.
Or do they want us to migrate to a different supplier of Photo Organizing Programs.?????????
Tank You for the answere.

Loui,
The server that handled the activation for CS2 applications has been decommissioned, put out of service for good.
"Effective December 13, Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch. These products were released over 7 years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems. But to ensure that any customers activating those old versions can continue to use their software, we issued a serial number directly to those customers. …"
That's why you need to download Adobe the special version of CS2 made available in order to support cases like yours. That special version does not call the mother ship for activation at all, so it requires no activation. It does come with a new serial number, as yours will NOT work.
You'll find them here:

I wish folks didn't come to these user-to-user forums asking why Adobe does this or doesn't do that. As users, we don't know—and we don't care. You are not addressing Adobe here.

How to re-install Adobe Photoshop in my new computer?

Install it the same way you originally installed it. If you need to download the installations files or get your serial number you should check your Adobe account online.
You can also find a good amount of Adobe files downloadable thru the following page...

Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements Causes My Computer to Cut Out on Booting UP!

I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer running windows 7 64 bit. I did not appreciate the problems. The first time that I installed it the computer shut down as soon as it was loaded and from then onwards it shut down within seconds of the computer booting up into windows. I used system restore to take the computer back to before Elements 10 was installed. The computer kept on switching off after windows had booted up. Took it into the technician who thought the PSU was at fault and he put in a new unit. The computer then worked fine until I installed Elements 10 and again the computer switches off as soon as windows as booted up. I have again used system restore to take the computer back to before Elements 10 was installed, still it switches off shortly after booting into windows. What can I do to get things to work properly? I have a brand new computer that I am unable to use as a result of installing Elements 10. I am typing this on my old computer running Vista 34 bit with Elements 10 installed and all working well. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I have had a similar experience - Elements organizer crashed and even when not running, my computer froze after a few minutes. My PC had never crashed before this installation.
I found a solution though...
After a little sleuthing using task manager, I found that all the memory in my system (4GB) gets suddenly hogged (within seconds) by the "Elements Organizer" process (3GB) ... I found the service correspponding to this process, "Adobe Active File Monitor v10", stopped it and set autostart to manual. My PC no longer crashes.
I think Adobe needs to look into this one - it has all the hallmarks of a nasty memory leak.
A couple of possible clues as to why certain systems don't take well to this service:
- I have a few very large video clips (2hours+) on my PC
- I installed trial products like light room, CS5 before settling on Photoshop+Premiere Elements - could leftovers after uninstalling cause conflicts?
- I have other video editors on my system that I don't use, like Corel VideoStudio and Sony Vegas.
Thoughts?

I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop to a second computer

I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 to a second computer but it is telling me that it is already saved to a 2nd. This is incorrect, when i installed to the 1st computer i later had a technical failure and the computer needed to be shut down and then rebooted. I think when this happened the programme could have been lost and is now why it thinks its been used twice. Please can you advise me on what best action to take? As i need to use this programme on 2 different computers. Many thanks

You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues such as you describe.

Old serial # not working to reinstall CS2 on new computer

I installed all the disks for my old CS2 software on my new computer but when I open the individual programs, they give me an error reading "User name, organization, serial number is missing or invalid. Application cannot continue and must now exit." I spoke to an adobe representative who said that CS2 would not fuction with my new Windows 7 OS. Is there any way to get the older version to work with the Windows 7 or is it incompatible? I have the old serial number, coupon code (it was a student version), and customer ID #. Thanks in advance for your help!

Did you run in compatibility mode for WinXP? If not, please do. The issue is simply that the data is actually there, it's just in the wrong place. Only inputting it in legacy mode will store it in the right location in the registry. and of course you will have to run as admin, turn off UAC and system protection as wel las any third-party security tools to avoid possible inetrference.

If Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons not working to reset your adobe photoshop cs5.1 preference to default

How to reset Photoshop preferences (In Windows):
First, hold down all three Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons
Now "while keeping those button held," simply open Photoshop or a file that opens with Photoshop
As Photoshop loads, you should get a prompt asking if you would like to "delete the Photoshop settings file", Click yes
You should now have a fresh slate with all of the settings returned to their default.
Its strange some keyboard cannot reset photoshop after you press Ctrl + Alt + Shift buttons.
And its no pop up to confirm delete
At finally i found the problems is type of my keyboard not compatible with photoshop
i changed my old keyboard immediately and its works!!
If you have problems with Ctrl + Alt + Shift buttons cannot reset your adobe photoshop cs5 preference , please do change your type of your keyboard to new keyboard

Where is the serial number for my pre-installed Adobe Photoshop?

HI folks. I bought a refurb iMac directly from apple 2 years ago. It already came with Adobe Photoshop as well as many others. I didn't start using the photoshop until recently. Yesterday, I logged on, and asked me for a serial number. Where would I find this or how do I obtain this since it came with the iMac? Thank you in advance!

Marty, I'm not debating the fact that you got a Mac with third party software and I'm not trying to act as the software police. Yes, Apple apparently messed up and let one slip through, strange considering the stringent testing that refurbs go through, not to mention formatting and re-installation of software. I'm just trying to make you aware that any third party software wasn't supposed to be on there and Adobe or whoever will look at it as un-authorized (stolen) if you try to update it. It doesn't happen often but you don't want to be the one caught with unauthorized software on your computer, you'll have a **** of a time convincing them that it was there when you bought the machine. Just want you to know that it could be VERY expensive.
Best of luck to you and if you do end up having to purchase software and don't need all of the features of Photoshop take a look at Photoshop Elements, it offers many of the same tools but for a less demanding user and for less $$$.

How do I install Adobe Photoshop in a new computer? I've had CS5 a few years ago in another laptop.

Basically I got the student version of Adobe Creative Suite 5 back in high school. I'm now in college (still a student!) but I used my high school email to register the product. I deactivated the adobe photoshop in the old computer and have the serial number, but because my old high school already deleted my school email, I can't access my adobe ID anymore (I forgot it). I can't install Photoshop into my new computer without my Adobe ID. What should I do??

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. However, I'm really, really frustrated. The link works for the recommended program but it has a transfer limit of 100 files. I've spent literally hours trying to find genuine freeware to do the job rather than paying $25 for a one-off program that I'll never use again. Is there are any reliable freeware out there that does the job? To be honest money is very tight at the moment and spending $25 for a program I'll never use again is something I could do without!

Adobe Photoshop CS2 Install

I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS2, I know it is an old version, but I am unable to upgrade at this time. However, I have the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS2, and when I run the install it states that it is looking for a previous version of Photoshop. I have verified that this is not an upgrade only cd. Please advise.

Thanks for trying to help out guys but after hours of toying with this thing it finally hit me like a brick wall. I found a work around.
For anyone that may run into this issue in the future:
When you run the Adobe Photoshop CS2 install and it will not let you install due to looking for previous versions
Install Adoby Photoshop CS2 as the 30 day trial, which will install without any issues.
After the installation is completed then ender the serial number manually after that.
Not sure why it has to be a PITA about it, but it works.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 in Macbook Pro

During installation of Adobe Photoshop CS2, the installer runs and freezes in the midst. There is no way of installing Adobe Photoshop CS2 with intel processor. Full reinstallation of Mac OSX doesn't help. Running disk utility doesn't help either. Problems occurred with or without installing of Apple Security Update 2006-003(intel). Any comments?

Edwin, thanks for the input, and I do apologize. You are right. I should be easier with which to live. There are two major problems out there right now. That is also part of the problem. We are not used to two problems in our domain.
I own 20 Mac's in my office, and I only did these updates on my MacBook Pro 17 inch and my G5 Dual 2.3 Ghz machine that has two 30-inch Cinema Displays. I had both problems on my MacBook Pro, and the G5 had the reboot glitch. I won't update the other machines untill these problems are resolved by the OEMs.
Of the two major hiccups out there, this link indicates Quicktime's update is the source of the inability to restart machines, fixed by deleting startup items, I believe. I had this reboot problem also.
http://www.macworld.com/news/2006/05/24/cs2quicktime/index.php
Accrobat's freezing the system, the question at hand, is a result of the Security Update, fixed by rolling back to a pre-Security Update state using Archive & Install re-installation of the OS. Archive & Install does not erase your files or network settings.
Apple has released two products that fouled these systems. Bad Quality Assurance I think. I am not sure if the Security Update problem is an Apple or an Adobe software problem, i.e., Adobe may have not followed some software guidance. I am certain both companies are aware of the problem, but I am uncertain of the fix for Acrobat. We probably do need to update for security, but I can't live without Acrobat. So I will wait it out without the Security Update.
