PS CS2 and number

I have an old copy of PS CS2 and number that was made available for free sometime back installed on my Mac which my daughter has been using. Can I re-instal this on her computer now that she has one instead and using the same number?

you can no longer activate your ps cs2.  however, adobe made available to customers like you a copy of ps cs2 that needs no activation, Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
as long as your os is compatible with cs2, you should be ok if you follow the instructions at the above link.

  • I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.

    I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.  I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers.  I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect.  I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own.  One is operational and one is dead.  I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

    You might find CS4 download here

    I have CS2 and I use it almost every day.. Today when I tried to launch it, a prompt came up saying my Activation was no longer valid and it closed automatically.  Then when I tried to re-open it, a prompt came up saying "A serious error has occured"  Please re-install the software...  I have no idea where my software is... That was many many years ago?  HELP!!

    When you go to the download page, you must do two things:
    Download this file: PhSp_CS2_English.exe on the download page.
    Use the serial number on the download page in order to install your non-activation copy.
    Do not use your old CD or serial number. It no longer works.
    If you have Windows 7, the advice is to turn off UAC and run the installer as Administrator.

  • Images print too dark from Photoshop CS2 and CS3

    Having used both CS2 and CS3 I now realise that the prints that I work on in either appear much brighter on the screen that they do when printed, as much as 3 stops darker when printed. I have also noticed that in other programs such as Google Picasa that I use as a viewing tool the images appear closer to the images from the printer. I have used various pro-labs that require their profiles to be used and my own epson 3800 printer at home and despite trying lots of different settings I am unable to get prints that look like they do on the screen they are always darker.
    I am using windows XP on a dual core 2.4 PC with 2 Gb ram and an ATI Radeon X1600 series grafix card which I have just updated the driver on. The monitor is an LCD type and is calibrated weekly using a spyder 2 express.

    First isolate whether your display is too bright or your printer is too
    dark. I'd start by printing images from another source and see if they
    look as they should. www.drycreekphoto.com has a number of calibration
    images that should do for this purpose.
    Once you've isolated the problem, we can take it from there.

  • I am reloading Photoshop CS2 and I can't get it activated. How is this to be done?

    I am reloading Photoshop CS2 and I can't get it activated. How is this to be done?

    The activation servers are retired and so your old CS2 copy and serial number no longer work.
    Adobe has non-activated Photoshop CS2 and a new serial number to go with it only for CS-CS2 owners.

    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

  • Cant get my PS CS2 serial number to work

    I downloaded my ps cs2  and my serial number wont work, spoke to adobe customer service, and they provided me a link that also didn't work because they said the CS2 is outdated. please help with a solution

    All that should be required is to download a new version of CS2 - which no longer requires activation - from

    Install then enter the serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • 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

  • Just starting to use InDesign CS2 and can't pull up my previous Pagemaker files; what do I do?

    Just starting to use InDesign CS2 and can't pull up my previous Pagemaker files; says "damaged and cannot be recovered"
    How can I retrieve those?

    I have no idea what "diagnostic recompose" is...
    Step 3 in this linked technote will show you how to do a diagnostic recompose - on a Mac. Instructions for doing it on Windows are out there somewhere, I'll try to find 'em if you can't. The technote tells you to remove graphics from master pages; I'd also unembed graphics (make sure all graphics are linked, not stored in the PageMaker doc) in order to try to get it to open up in ID.
    I'm sure there are more things you can try, if that doesn't work, but my broken-PageMaker-doc skills are pretty rusty.
    Also, you may want to edit your response on the forums webpage, and delete it from your future email-replies, so your email address and phone number aren't preserved for all to see on the forums, forever.
    Edit: Step 3, not step 4

  • 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.

  • I own CS2, and my machine quit working. The replacement machine has no optical drive.

    I can't seem to be able to address this issue with Adobe customer service.
    It's an endless loop of referrals to FAQs and forums, with no way to submit an email to them?
    Am I missing something?
    It seems like they should be able to set up a download or something so I can actually USE their program, which I spent $500 on, on mjy new machine.
    Frustrating.

    What operating system does your new machine have?
    If it's a mac intel like os x 10.7 10.8 or 10.9, then photoshop cs2 won't work on an those intel macs, because photoshop cs2 was made for PowerPC macs.
    Anyway, you'll need to download the non activation version of phiotoshop cs2 and use the provided serial number, because adobe shutdown the activation servers for cs2 and so even if you installed from your original media, it wouldn't work, other than the grace period, because it can't be activated.
    Activation server shut down for Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7, and Macromedia products

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS4 on the same system?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering is it possible to have both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS4 on my computer at the same time.  I heard that this would cause errors, but if there is, is there a work around for it.  Thanks in advance.

    Quite a few people keep an older version in case there is something not right for them in the newer version.
    Just make sure they are installed in that order.
    Be prepared to have your file associations changed.
    What is you OS by the way?

  • I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image,

    I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

    Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
    Thanks.
