Problems with installing and activating and older version of Creative Suites

Hi. I'm using a MacBrook Pro with Max OS 10.6.8 and am trying to install an old version of Adobe Creative Suite (2 Premium) that I have.  I got through the whole installation process yesterday, but was unable to activate it.  I had to quit without going further. This morning, I read through the info that comes with the program and it looked like I would need to reinstall everything, because I stopped before activation. When I inserted the 1st disk, it did not load right and got stuck.  I had to forcibly eject it.  However, Disks 1-4 are still loaded on my computer.  I have 3 questions:
Can the older programs no longer get activated?
If they CAN, how do I get from the info loaded under my Applications folder to the activation?
Alternatively, since I stopped before activation and hit "quit" rather than "cancel," do I have to start the whole process all over again from the beginning?
Thanks for any help you can give me!

Put your CS2 disks away (since they can no longer be used) and follow these instructions from Adobe
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3

  • How can I remove an older version of Creative Suite while deploying Creative Suite 6

    After you build an install package using the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise is there a way it can be deployed to upgrade an older version of Creative Suite.   In my organization we do not need both versions and I have about 100 machines to deploy this to and do not want to have to uninstall the old Creative Suite before deploying the new one as that would take too much time.
    I am also limited on hard drive space on many of my workstations so I would not like to have both Creative Suites taking up space.

    Branching this discussion out and moving it to the Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment forum.  Bwilk217 the users in this forum should be able to assist you with your inquiry.

    Try the basic troubleshooting steps :
    Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref :  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-adminis trator-account-on-windows-vista/ )
    --> It’s already enabled
    Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-servic es-windows.html )
    --> I have disabled it.
    Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
    --> I have disable it.
    Reboot and Install in the enabled Administrator account and check.

  • Problem with installing both 32 and 64bit Java7u45

    Hi all.
    For some reson we need to install Java7u45 because of an inhouse made application only runs on java7u45 32bit,
    Now to my issue, we hava about 200 windows7 x64 machines who need both 32 and 64 bit java7u45.
    If i install the 32bit the inhouse appliction works, but then other third party application will not run (SoapUI, Eclipse).
    If i install both 64 and 32 bit the inhouse application will not run, i get this error message "NativeSwing[1]: Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM"
    In the Java Control Panel only the 64bit java shows up, and if i try to add javaw.exe from C:\program files (x86)\java\bin it will add the correct line, and i looks ok until i close the java control panel and open it, it will still only show the 64bit java.
    So is there anyway to change the default 64bit java to 32bit and make it stick?
    Thank you.

  • Problem with installing Oracle UI  and Oracle SP (ouiosp220160.jar)

    Hello,
    I have downloaded the installation file for Oracle Universal Installer and Oracle Software Packager which is in the form of a jar file:
    ouiosp220160.jar.
    WhenI try to extract it, the JVM says that the jar file is a corrupt one.
    So, I downloaded it again and still it is a corrupted one.
    What to do now? Is it in the corrupt form on the site or I am missing something?
    Any other mirror site?
    Please help.
    -Sameer

    Yes use a different ORACLE_HOME's for the Database,
    The Application Server (Needs 2 Oracle Homes if you are installing it on one server) and the developer suite - I would expect to see this more on a client PC than a server but if you are trying everything out on say a windows box then that also needs its own HOME.
    Have fun.

  • I have an older version of creative suite that is no longer able to be loaded, what are my options?

    I have all the serial numbers and discs, it just ownt load anymore. Why not considering I paid for it!?! what re my option to reinstall it. I dont think paying for another version is fair.

    And what? What exact version? What system? You have not provided any useful technical info. That aside simply get used to the thought that this may not work. Operating systems and computers change and there will always come a day when old software will no longer be compatible.

  • Versions of Creative Suite still supported

    What versions of Creative Suite does Adobe still officially support?
    I saw an announcement that it not longer would authorize new installations of CS2. What about each of CS3 through CS6?

    Thank you for the fast response, Bob. I work for a company that provides InDesign plug-ins, and this will help determine how long we continue to make enhancements in our plug-ins for older versions of Creative Suite. We have customers using CS2, 4, 5, 5.5 and 6, with a Creative Cloud installation on the horizon.

  • I accidentally purchased a product that needs Lion operating system. I currently have snow leopard. If I upgrade, will my older software (Adobe Creative Suites CS3) still operate properly?

    I'm currently running Mac OSX 10.6.8. I accidentally purchased a product that requires Lion or Mountain Lion. If I upgrade to Maverick, will this software run properly, and will my older software (Adobe Creative Suites CS3) still run?

    CS2 is no longer supported without Rosetta, last available in 10.6.8
    Also, my top popular Applications in the same boat:
    Office 2004 and older including Word
    Eudora 6
    FileMaker Pro 6
    AppleWorks (all versions)
    Quicken 2007** (inexpensive "upgrade" available)
    NB> You may HATE 10.7 -- I know I do, and refuse to run it. It eliminates the Save command, and implements Document versioning. I am too set in my ways to make such a fundamental change. (and then the changes were largely abandoned in the next major version).

    I currently have premiere cs4 and cs5 installed and have had no problems. I have noted on the forums here that some people were reporting problems. So the only way to realy know is make the plunge. I'm running win 7 pro.

  • I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct?  Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order?  Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
    If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe. 
    The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver.  If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details).  When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
    There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver.  The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

  • I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.  Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloade

    I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
    Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
    But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
    When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
    I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
    can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

    I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    Hi, so did I.  It seems to be a huge problem with everyone.  I opened a folder on desktop and called it target.  I copied all my songs into that folder.
    I uninstalled Itunes completely.  Rebooted.  Then I installed a fresh install.
    I then dragged all the songs back to Itunes and it worked.  I hope that helps. 
    I read an article the other day and apple is suppose to come out with some genius fix for this problem, it really seems to be global.
    Good luck,
