Photoshop CS2 Serial Number

Where do I find the serial number on an uninstalled Photoshop CS2?

Normally on a sticker on the disc envelope... but you won't be able to install and activate CS2 unless you use the special version from the link below

Photoshop CS2 Serial Number Not Working

I recently got a new laptop, and I want to transfer the CS2 activation from my old desktop to my new laptop. I deactivated CS2 on my old computer, but when I try to activate it on my new laptop, I'm told that the serial number isn't valid.
I use Window's Vista.
Thanks!

CS2 is not Vista compatible. You need to upgrade.
And, once again, this is not correct. CS2 is not officicially supported for Vista, but, for most people, runs quite well.

Reloading CS5 upgrade using CS2 serial number

Several years ago I upgraded from Photoshop CS2 to CS5. I recently had to have my computer reformatted. When I have tried to reload my CS5 upgrade using the CS2 serial number it isn't accepted. I went to the Adobe site and downloaded CS2 but I still can't reload my CS5 disk. From Adobe it seems I need a code to unlock the CS2 activation but I can't seem to get help this way. Now what do I do?

Now what do I do?
No need to -re-install CS2 at all.
Just install the CS5 upgrade (the upgrade contains the full program code), enter your CS5 upgrade serial number then enter your CS2 serial number when prompted.

Photoshop CS4 serial number flagged as invalid on reinstallation.

Photoshop CS4 Serial number flagged as invalid when I know it's OK. I have been transferring my software to Windows7 from XP by running two operating systems on separate volumes so I can keep working while dealing with compatibility problems. I have my original CD with serial number that I have been using for years. I have wasted a lot of time on this but I am now at the stage where I have deactivated and uninstalled PS from XP, reinstalled from download from Adobe on Win7. When I install I'm asked for the serial number which is accepted OK. When I try to run PS I'm again asked for s/n but this time it's flagged as Invalid. I have had to resort to running as 30 day trial while I trying to find a solution. I'm now desperate, Help Please!

Thanks for that. Yes, I had seen that before and tried it. It made no difference unfortunately.
BUT the good news is, I have tried again this new day and NOW it goes through. Go figure!
Thanks to everyone in this Discussion for your suggestions.
Problem somehow resolved itself?!

Photoshop CS6 Serial Number Ineffective

My Photoshop CS6 serial number won't work. When entered I get a message telling me that two machines are in use and I must disconnect one of them. If I can find a way to get around this fine, otherwise i will need another "workable" serial number and would like to know how to go about getting one if this is the case.

You are only allowed to have the software activated on two machines at any given time. The way around this is to deactivate one of the installations if you are aware of where these two existing installations are.
If you are not aware of any other installations and/or this is a newly acquired serial number, then you need to contact Adobe Support by chat or by telephone.
Here are some links to help make contact:

Photoshop CS5 serial number

Help Please!! I recently purchased a new computer and I'm in the process of transferring programs and files. I can't find my Photoshop PS5 serial number or Key code anywhere. I don't want to upgrade to the cloud.. Can anyone tell me where I can find my serial number within PS5 like maybe help or something

No, you cannot get the complete serial number from an installed program. that would completely defeat the purpose of the activation system. Contact support by web chat or phone, maybe they can help you.

How do I get CS5 upgrade to recognize CS2 serial number

Copy of CS5 upgrade whether downloaded or off CD will not recognize the CS2 serial number as a good number -- how do I load this on a new computer

Contact Adobe Support for unlocking
If you can't resolve the issue, an Adobe Support agent can help. Adobe Support uses a process called unlocking to bypass the Serial Number Upgrade screen.
Important: Adobe Support cannot unlock your serial number until they verify that you qualify for the upgrade. When you contact Adobe Support, be at your computer to complete the following upgrade verification workflow.
Chat with an agent
Click Chat Now, above, to contact an Adobe Support agent.
Do one of the following in the Serial Number Upgrade screen:
Windows: Press Ctrl+Shift and then double-click.
Mac OS: Press Command+Shift and then double-click.
The Upgrade Code window appears.
Read the Challenge Code to the Adobe Support agent.
I was able to get the unlock code by chatting with an agent -- almost 2 hours but have the product CS5.5 Design Premium installed and it now shows as registered in my account. Thank you for your help

Old Photoshop 4 serial number won't work

I've made headway with trying to reinstall my Photoshop 4 CD on VISTA (P4 with P5 upgrade gave me 4 glorious years on this computer. I originally got P4 bundled with a scanner in the 90s). To review, for some reason several months back it stopped working and reinstallation wouldn't start.
Now suddenly using the copy of the CD I placed on my hard drive has gotten as far as the serial number. Except the serial number keeps getting rejected. I cleared all instances of Adobe and Photoshop and Photoshp from the registry when I tried to troubleshoot the first time and before I tried the CS6 trial (didn't care for it. The CS5 at work handles much nicer without the overkill). I don't THINK it's the number itself.
The fact that I got as far as entering a code is great. The fact that a correct code is not working - not so great.

Photoshop 4?! Wow. I think I still have a copy of that around, but that's an ancient version. Heck, I even still have 5.5 on a Macbook 5300 in my home office museum.
For me PS 5.5 was a sweet spot in functionality, before the CS name change. Personally I still use CS2, which is also getting long in the tooth ... but added some RAW and other improvements over CS(1). If you could get a licensed copy of CS2, I think you'll find it comparable in interface and workflow to 4 or 5.5 with minimal re-learning. (And there are some great "get up to speed with new version" books on CS2 you could get cheap on the used book market.)
I wouldn't even want to use 4 due to improvements in memory use, speed, and some updates to librarys and plug-ins since that release.

CS2 serial number working

The news of the free CS2 came just at the right time when I could really use it. When I first installed CS2 it wouldn't accept the "Program Files (x86)" folder. OK I got around that but then when loading Photoshop it said the user name, organization, or serial number is invalid, then shuts down. Has anyone else had this happen? Worked a way around it?

CS2 is not Vista compatible. You need to upgrade.
And, once again, this is not correct. CS2 is not officicially supported for Vista, but, for most people, runs quite well.

CS4 reinstall & CS2 serial number

My iMac has been fitted with a new hard drive & I need to reinstall CS4 Design Standard UPSL.
I have the boxed serial number.
I am asked for the serial number of my previous product to prove my upgrade route; I am given options to select individual CS2 components (eg. Illustrator, Photoshop) but not Creative Suite 2 Standard which is the product and serial number I have.
So it's a dead end. I am working by using the 30 day trial option but need to crack this urgently!
Any suggestions gratefully received, with thanks.
