Can I install and run Photoshop CS2 on a Windows 7 64Bit OS?

I just purchased a computer It is a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. Can I install and run Photoshop CS2? What issues would I have?

For what it's worth I have Photoshop CS2 running fine on Vista x64, but I've not moved it over to my Windows 7 x64 machine. Generally speaking, things that work fine on Vista x64 work fine on Windows 7 x64.
That said, you might want to wait until you hear from someone who's actually tried the exact combination themselves.

When will download and activation for CS2 be possible again?!?!?!?!?

Download and activation for CS2 is currently down.
Is this temporary or has Adobe stolen my legally bought CS2 just b/c it is old?!?!?!?!?

Win7
start in: www.adobe.com/go/activation
next: choose "I'm having a problem activation my product"
next: next to "Error Code 24:24" choose link: "Activation server unavailable ..."
on the new page under "How to install" choose: "2. Download and install CS2 applications"
select language (Danish)
on the new page under "CS2 Downloads" choose "Jeg accepterer" (if you see it in English: "I accept")
on the new page there then should be a download link for CS2 - BUT NO!

Leopard and Adobe Photoshop CS2 problems...

I've been reading the posts about Leopard and CS2 problems and have to say that I'm confused. A great many of you have had issues from the very beginning as soon as you upgraded to Leopard. I did not. I use a VERY basic set-up without third party plugins and suspect that to be why I had no problems. At least until now... I looked back through my documents to be sure, and my Photoshop was working beautifully through the first week of January. Somewhere between then and now there had to be an update from Apple that broke Photoshop. I haven't changed any settings since it last worked, and there certainly haven't been any updates from the greedy buggers over at Adobe because they don't support CS2 anymore apparently. What could Apple have updated that might have accidently corrupted my Photoshop?? I don't really feel it could be anything else, but who knows... Does anyone have any ideas? I would hate to have to downgrade to OS 10.4 just to use my Photoshop and I certainly can't afford to shell out the extra $$ for CS3.
I appreciate any light you guys can shed on the topic...
Stan

Actually the 10.5.2 update does seem to have improved things for me with Photoshop CS1. I can now actually type entries into the little boxes for things like crop and brush sizes. The File Browser is still prone to crashing the application though, and there is still some weirdness with opening files by a drag and drop onto the app icon in the Dock. But nothing got worse, and several annoyances disappeared.
One thing to try is to create a brand new admin test user, with no additions (that includes not adding fonts), log into the new account and see if Photoshop will work there.
And speaking of fonts, do you have Linotype's Font Explorer installed? If so, did you get the new updater for it? Some people who use Font Explorer were having a lot of problems after the 10.5.2 update, including Photoshop failure to launch, that were fixed with the Font Explorer update.

does any one know if adobe photoshop cs2 will work on the new apple intel

Yes, but it will run through Rosetta (see Appendix A). CS3 will be a universal binary.

Activating Photoshop CS2?

Help: I have CS2 and Photoshop is giving me an error message that I have to get a new authorization because it detected changes to my computer (running windows 7) the options given to get authorization are no longer valid (tried two phone numbers and also on-line activation) Looks like it was working for 30 days after Dec 1. But I have not needed to use Photoshop until now so I was unaware that there was any time sensitive issue.

Aperture 2.1 and Adobe Photoshop CS2

Hey.
I'm using Aperture as my bread and butter. I don't have any issues.
In my previous posts I mentioned that I don't use Photoshop, but now I'm using Photoshop a lot more...for retouching and localized corrections.
All of my tonal corrections and things are done in Aperture and I just export 16bit PSDs to do retouching on and then bring them back into Aperture. Pretty smooth workflow and still rely on Aperture, not Photoshop.
Anyone else enjoying the strengths of Aperture and getting the benefit of PS like that? I haven't used the spot and patch much in Aperture, but I will try it soon so that I can minimize my PS work even more.
Anyway, Aperture is still working great for me. Hope it does for you, too.
Scott

Yes. Aperture cut my PS CS, CS2 and now CS3 workload down from 100% to around 5%. A huge time-saver, plus of course the image management side that CS2 or 3 doesn't do (and I include Bridge in this).
The new spot/patch brush is night and day compared to the original. It is fabulous (better than CS3 for many tasks) at identifying edges and adjacent textures. Highly recommended.

Acrobat 8 Installation, and Activation from CS2 download page

After finding out that my disc for Acrobat 8 Pro is no longer usable I downloaded (several times) from the Adobe page for legacy applications activation. I have consistantly received an error message after start up of "A serious error has been detected and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot continue. Please reinstall the application and try again." I have use this application for years on this equipment, and Windows 7 O/S without any problems, but I lost a HDD with drive C: on it and had to rebuild.
I purchased Acrobat XI as an upgrade thinking this would help resolve the problem, but it will not recognize my old s/n, nor the s/n from the Activation program Adobe has going on.
Does anyone have any thoughts?

first, remove acrobat 8 completely: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/manually-remove-acrobat-8-windows.html (follow the directions for removing acrobat 8 pro.)
then reinstall acrobat 8 pro using your serial number for acrobat 8 pro.

Trouble installing and activating Photoshop CS4 extended.

I have just bought the Dvd version of Photoshop CS4 and installed it on my main computer and it seemed to have installed ok and loaded ok. But when I went back to the same computer it is asking me to enter the seriel key again and wont accept the serieal number anymore. I do not know what to do, should I uninstall the software and reinstall or will this just add to the problem.
Second I also tried to install photoshpp on my second computer which I keep down stairs, again it accepted the serieal number but this time halfway through it would not install the actual photoshop and when I try to install again it does not do anything.

Hi,
One computer that can be isolated but installing it on two and behaving the same might be a different issue. You may need to contact adobe the check your serial number.
Or it's also possible that you don't have the proper permission which the software is having issue writing the licensing data.
Hope this gives you an idea.

Problem in activating Photoshop cs2

Hi; I've seen the other answers to this problem, and Adobe's solution (download a special version of cs2), but, there is (no longer?) a download feature for this version. Not that I can find anywhere. And Adobe points me to ask on the forum, but I would have thought it's directly an Adobe issue? Anyway, if anyone can help, I'd be much obliged.

John, I'm kindof speechless... I have a reply in no time at all, and it's actually solved the problem!
Yes, I tried the link, and thanks, the download page worked fine, I've downloaded the file, thanks very much, I have enough hassles with computers & Microsoft and a few others, there are times I spend more time in a week than actual work.
I don't know how one would find the download page you showed me, it didn't come up in the instructions laid out by Adobe - no matter, I just need the file.
Maybe I'll now try with a Microsoft forum and see if I can find a solution to them dropping support for Windows XP - I have at least 3 XP computers using XP software that would cost me thousands to upgrade, and I'm perfectly happy with XP.
You've helped me a lot, thank you kindly!

Clé Activation Photoshop CS2 sous windows 8

Bonjour
j'ai achete en 2006 un dell avec un PAck Photoshp CS2 et j'ai changé d'ordinateru sous windows 8.
Or mon CD n'active pas la cléf.
On m'a répondu chez Adobe qu'il fallait que je prennne la version Créative cloud mais je dois repayer ou il y a une mise à jour avec une nouvelle clef ???
Merci pour votre réponse

Non, tu n'as pas bien compris.
Télécharge la CS2 proposée en lien et installe la en utilisant le code d'activation fourni.
C'est un service/support gratuit offert par Adobe à ses anciens clients.
Par-contre, son bon fonctionnement n'est effectivement pas garanti avec Windows 8.
Mais rien ne t'empêche d'installer un système virtuel : https://www.virtualbox.org

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.

I have the Photoshop CS2 in an old laptop and recently purchased a new laptop. Need to move it.

I have my new laptop and my Photoshop CS2 is no longer supported. How do I tranfer to the new laptop with the upgraded version. - Brian Robertson

Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products so you can't use your own serial key.
You will have to download CS2 and use the serial provided on this page...

I'm looking into the possibility of using Photoshop CS2 on Imac with Mavericks OS. Is this even possible, and if not, what would I need to do?

This is not a photography question. It is an application specific question, Please post in the Photoshop forum.
