Reactivating CS2 after HD failure

Any help reactivating CS2 after re-installing on new HD, after previous one died?

See Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Download a new, non-activation version of CS2 from the above website.
Install then enter the new, non-activation serial number provided at the link above. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • Hi Support, how can I install photoshop again after disk failure. Still says I have 2 copies installed, need to remove one from my old pc.  Thanks for any help.

    After drive failure, I decided to install photoshopcc on my home pc.
    when I try to start it, I get the message "already installed on 2 devices"
    I need to remove it from one of those devices.
    It's not obvious how to do this.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    On one of your older PCs, Start Photoshop, go to the  Help menu > Deactivate...
    This is a forum of users like yourself volunteering our time to help, we are not Adobe support.

    I was directed to adobe to download CS4 on my new iMAC after hardware failure on PC.  The valid CS4 serial number for the PC is now not recognized by Adobe, even though I downloaded all the software successfully on the new iMac..  They gave me a free 30 day trial on the new iMAC.........Does this mean I have to spend a lot of money to update and activate the latest CS release on the new machine ??????

    Purple Lobster your Creative Suite 4 serial number is for Windows or Mac only.  If you were previously using it on Windows then it is likely you have a Windows license.  You can verify by checking your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    If you wish to run Adobe Creative software on your new iMac then I would recommend a Creative Cloud complete or single application membership.  You can find more details at https://creative.adobe.com/plans.  There is also a 30 day trial available for the Creative Cloud if you wish to evaluate the newest versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

  • Domain controller VMs using dynamic VHDx corrupt after power failure

    Over the past couple of months I have experienced 4 dead 2008 R2 SP1 domain controllers after power failure on Hyper-V 2012 hosts. The domain controller VMs will start after power failure and have varying degrees of file system corruption. In each instance
    the corruption has rendered the domain controller unusable. The problem has not occurred with every power failure, but in testing the failure rate has been over 10%.
    The Hyper-v 2012 hosts are as follows:
    Dell PowerEdge r720 with flash backed write cache on Raid controller
    Dell PowerEdge T710 with battery backed write cache on Raid controller
    Dell PowerEdge T310 with a single SATA hard drive and write cache disabled
    Generic system with a single SATA hard drive and write cache disabled
    The VM configuration experiencing corruption is as follows:
    Each VM was created from a base 2008 R2 SP1 syspreped VHDx image template file (40 Gigs)
    The image template was originally created as a VHD and was then converted to a VHDx
    The VHDx file has 512k sectors instead of the native 512e of VHDx files (a result of VHD - VHDx conversion)
    Each VM was assigned 1024 Meg RAM and 1 virtual processor
    The domain controllers were created by promoting the base 2008 r2 install to a DC after base image deployment
    Only one corrupt VM was not running the 2012 integration components. The rest were running current 2012 integration components
    I have done extensive testing on this issue and the problem for me seems to revolve around the VHDx file format. I have managed numerous Hyper-v installations since the original 2008 server version was released and I have never seen corruption like this
    until 2012 and VHDx.
    For the past few days I have been testing fixed sized VHD VMs on a 2012 host and I have not been able to reproduce the data corruption issue. I seem to only be able to reproduce the problem when using dynamic VHDx files. I have not done any testing on 2012
    hosts with fixed size VHDx files or dynamic VHD files.
    It would be great to hear from anybody else experiencing similar issues so that we can compare notes and hopefully get to the bottom of this problem.

    To be honest I was excited to see this fix released, but there are two problems.
    1. The hotfix causes BSOD if you have VLANs with a teamed NIC configuration. I found this out the hard way on a production system. How in the world did this thing get through testing and into automatic updates?
    2. The hotfix does not seem to resolve the issue in my test environment.
    I opened up a case with support and they informed me that they would not provide support for this issue and that I had to open a case with premier support. Premier support informed me that I cannot open a case with them unless I sign a $50,000 per year service
    contract. Is there anywhere to get support on this issue?

  • Uninstall CS2 after upgrade to CS4 - is there a new walktrough

    Just upgraded from CS2 Premium to CS4 Premium on Mac 0SX 10.5.6, but left CS2 on there as I wanted to copy over a few preset files etc from CS2 to CS4.
    Now I want to remove CS2. I've got an old document link for removing CS2 but it mentions removing directories that I know CS4 has installed or shares (e.g. Adobe Utilities and Adobe Updater)
    Is there a new walkthrough or utility to remove CS2 once you have upgraded to CS4?

    Buko
    That's a bit too succinct and general....
    In your apps folder will be a folder call 'Adobe Creative Suite 2'. Within this is an' uninstallers' folder which contains the file 'How to uninstall.pdf'. This file is reproduced (as far as I can tell) at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331301
    This talks you through the various folders/files to remove.
    BUT BEWARE - this was written before CS3/4 existed and as my post (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b82bde) points out, there will be some folders it suggests you remove, but that CS4 actually need (e.g. Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities folder).
    I'm seeking a new 'How to Remove CS2 after installing CS4' document myself.
    Have spoken to Adobe Tech support today and their suggestion was to "not remove any files/folders you think CS4 may need'.
    How flaky is that for Technical Support - some people like to keep their hard drives lean.

  • Can I remove photoshop cs2 after I have upgraded from cs2 to cs5?

    Can I remove Photoshop CS2 after I have upgraded from CS2 to CS5?  I upgraded from CS2 to CS5 quite a while ago and I have never removed CS2.  Will it affect CS5 to remove the old CS2 if it was an upgrade?

    If I were you I would just delete the installed  Adobe CS2 folder. Adobe CS2 uninstaller my remove settind CS5 made to your system after CS2.   The CS2 uninstaller may try to restore settings to a point in time where there was no Photoshop installed on your system.  If you do a CS un-install you may need to then Install CS5 on top of itself the update cs5 for the install will not have the updates you will be back at CS5 level .

    I had the exact same issue; Lion recovery from Command + R would hang with the logs showing the same message.  To resolve, I used Disk Utility to remove the recovery partition.  My Air then used Internet Recovery to load all the tools.  When using Reinstall via Internet it worked just fine.

  • Uninstalling old CS2 after installing CS5.5 on MAC

    No to both I'm afraid. CS2 can't be used on a Mac running Yosemite. The only version of the Creative Suite that qualifies for an upgrade is CS5. Your options are to buy CS6 or subscribe to the Creative Cloud.

    When restoring Time Machine after a failure, does it also restore the files to the same order, for example - within iPhoto I have pics/ videos in folders and sub folders organised as family/events etc - will it go back to this exact order after a restore?

    Hi Stavros0203,
    When restoring your entire system from a Time Machine backup, it is restored to the state it was when that backup was made. See this article for reference -

  • How to configure V240 auto-boot after power failure?

    Hi!
    How to configure automatic boot of V240 machine after power failure? After power gets resored, V240 remains in standby mode and one has to press button on front to power it up. It is not convinient because power failure can occur, for example, at night and the machine is not booted until the first user awakens :)

    Uhh... I've found publicly accessible document http://docs.sun.com/source/817-5481-11/variables.html :
    Looks like this variable controls auto-power-up behaviour:
    sc_powerstatememory
    The sc_powerstatememory variable enables you to specify the state of the host server as false (keep the host server off) or true (return the server to the state it was in when the power was removed). This is useful in the event of a power failure, or if you physically move the server to a different location.
    For example, if the host server is running when power is lost and the sc_powerstatememory variable is set to false, the host server remains off when power is restored. If the sc_powerstatememory variable is set to true, the host server restarts when the power is restored.
    The values for this variable are as follows.
    true - "Remembers" the state of the host server when power was removed and returns the server to that state when power is reapplied.
    false - Keeps the server off when power is applied.

  • Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 behavior after power failure

    Hi,
    I need a computer which reboots itself after an power failure.
    I didn't find anything about the behavior of the IdeaCentre Q180 in such case.
    Does the IdeaCentre Q180 reboots itself after power failure or is it possible to enable this feature?
    This behavior is very important for my new system.
    Thank you for your answer.
    Kind Regards,
    Theodoor
    Solved!

    Hi theodoor, welcome to the forums,
    I'm not personally aquainted with the Q180, but I had a look in the BIOS simulator and I'm pretty sure the function you're looking for is available in BIOS.
    Please see attached picture, (too big to post), it will open in the same window so please click your browser back button to return to this site.
