Reinstalled Illustrator CS2 but can not activate

HELP!  I replaced my computer and reinstalled Illustrator CS2 (works fine for me, I don't need an upgrade) but it won't allow me to activate over the internet and when calling the activate over the phone it simply tells me to go to the adobe.com/go/activate site.
This of course tells me to uninstall and reinstall. That is not the issue.
How do I keep this program to which I paid for, active now that I have re-installed it on my new computer?

laurens,
Adobe has stopped the activation servers, so you need to go to this Adobe page and use the non activation CS2 version(s) along with the relevant replacement serial number(s):

If you have the Premium suite, you will have to download Acrobat and GoLive separately.

  • Received from Apple new iPhone 4s but can not activate.  Screen states activation servers not available.  What's next step?

    I purchased a new iPhone 4s as a replacement for a 3GS.  The phone starts up with configuration, recognizes my home network wi-fi, but for the past 3 days, all I can advance to is the activate your phone screen.  I have tried through iTunes, Wi-Fi and cellular and while each has a different wait time initially, in the end it is the can't activate the phone message with the description that the activation servers are unavailable.  Considering that the first iPhone 5 will start this process tomorrow, if the servers aren't prepared now, what will be happening to everyone tomorrow?  I am in Oklahoma and all of my devices received the updated IOS 6 without problems, but this new phone is just waiting.

    When Apple replace an iPhone and  the faulty one is  locked to a carrier in this case it will be T-mobile ( they do not sell unlocked iPhones) they will replace the iPhone with a locked one to that carrier
    So in theory you should have an iPhone locked to T-Mobile
    Call Apple and they can tell you if it is locked and to which carrier .
    I am also doubtful that a BB sim will work in an iPhone even if unlocked due to BB Messenger

    About my apple id, a month ago i change primary Email and vefiry..
    Now i can login to both appleid but can not ACTIVATE IPHONE..
    Pls help me..

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must enter the previous Apple ID and password to use the device. If you cannot enter the previous Apple ID and password you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • HT201317 can not activate photo stream on my Mac

    I have iPhoto 11 v 9.1.5 and OsX Lion 10.8.3 but can not activate Photo Stream on my Mac because it is not activated. The place to check activation is faded.
    Help?

    You need iPhoto 9.2.2 or later for Photo Stream and 9.4 or later for Shared Photo Streams:
    The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    What do I need to use Photo Stream
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
    Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
    You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later

  • I have Lightroom version 4.3, Can not activate -Simulate Paper & Ink, have created a virtual Copy

    I have Lightroom 4.3, but can not activate Simulate Paper & Ink, have created a virtual copy and checked softproofing

    I can't reproduce this problem. It works fine here.
    This problem could be due to a corrupt Preference File. This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
    BTW: Re-installing Lr ddoes not replace the Pref. File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.
    See here for where to find the Preference file for your OS: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m-4.html

  • I bought an I pad 2 from us but I can not activate the Facetime in UAE(Dubai)as I can not see the country in the I pad's  drop list, anyone has an idea as how to resolve this issue

    I bought an I pad 2 from us but I can not activate the Facetime in UAE(Dubai)as I can not see the country in the I pad's  drop list, anyone has an idea as to how to resolve this issue

    I'm not that familiar with how FaceTime works. I know how to set It up but I don't use it. I just know that you can't activate in the UAE. I believe that you can activate in any country that permits it's use. Whether you will need a new ID or not, I can't confirm.
    You can Google this and get all sorts of articles on workarounds. Apparently if you set up a VPN you can use it in the UAE. Here is one article that I found.

  • I have reinstalled cs4 student edition afther a deactivation by adobe but can not veiw ORF or DNG files in bridge i am runing windows 7

    I have reinstalled cs4 student edition afther a deactivation by adobe but can not veiw ORF or DNG files in bridge i am runing windows 7

    Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
    The way that works is this:
    1.  You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
    2.  You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
    3.  It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
    4.  You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
    While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

  • While using Illustrator or Photoshop I seem to be hitting a shortcut to lock my key board. Other shortcuts work but can not type anything?

    While using Illustrator or Photoshop I seem to be hitting a shortcut to lock my key board. Other shortcuts work but can not type anything?

    You are planning to do a number of things, so let me first make a suggestion about the overall approach. Instead of: "Before I make a clone of my hard drive I would like to fix this problem so I only have one account with everything in it but I do not know what to move ... or how to safely move it", I would make that clone immediately. And leave it alone until you have completed the reconfiguring and rearrangements you plan to do. This way, if you accidentally do something that needs to be undone, your clone is there with all the originals. By the way, this is the approach I always adopt, whenever I have to do anything drastic with an existing installation.
    After all the rearranging etc. of the main drive you just make a new clone that erases the previous one.
    The "Deano" account doesn't show up when I go to System Preferences:Accounts. So I assume I must have done something wrong.
    This would suggest to me there is only one account, i.e. the principal, or Admin account. Why do you think there is a second account?
    Where should I keep all my work files?
    You can keep them where ever it is most convenient. As you know, you can create folders within folders, and there is nothing special about the Documents folder. Feel free to ignore it, if that's the way you want to work. You can direct your downloads, the default "save to" locations etc. to the appropriate places, as you work.
    Can I create a new place for all my work files and just move them? I know I will have to update linked files within the various software packages but this is not a problem.
    By all means.
    .. can it be directly on the HD like my Applications folder etc.?
    Indeed, yes. Or even on a different hard drive (or partition of the same drive).
    And best wishes for the new year, to you too.
