Serial number invalid CS2

i am having trouble loading CS2 on my new HP i7 which has windows 7 on it. I have the original CS2 premium which i purchased 9 years ago. firstly i loaded it from the CD. it then was giving me a problem to register. eventually after googling it said i must uninstall and download new files from the adobe site as the cd's were no longer working and there was a techinical problem and because software is "old" it basically no longer works from cd. i have spent all day doing that and have downloaded all the files. now im trying to set it up but it wont accept the serial number which i have on my box. it says "serial number you provided is not valid' please help!

You need to use the serial number provided with the downloaded files.  See the following page:

  • Serial Number for CS2

    I had a copy of CS2 which would no longer activate.  Asking speaking to Adobe support I was asked to download and install the product from Adobe - CS2 Downloads.  I have down this, however the serial number supplied on that website (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-5551) does not work.  I application accepts the serial number during the install, however when I go to use the application, I get an error message saying the serial number is incorrect then the application closes.
    I need a valid serial number for CS2
    Thanks

    they have stated that they only really need Photoshop, so I tried to install that application only (from the full suite).
    If you install one, many or all apps from the full suite then you must use the Suite serial number. All apps within the Suite are tied to the Suite serial number. Using the standalone serial number on the suite apps will not work.
    If you install the standalone Photoshop CS2, then you must use the standalone serial number.

  • Sold Aperture 2 - but 'serial number invalid'

    Hi there, please help
    I bought Aperture 2 many months ago, but found it wouldn't work on my Powerbook G4. I then switched to Adobe Lightroom, and put the Aperture software in the cupboard.
    I've just sold the software, but the new user gets the error message, 'serial number invalid'. It's possible I entered the serial number (can't remember), but the software itself was never used. How do I get the software to work for someone else?
    Many thanks for any help.

    If the serial number is valid it wouldn't care if it had been entered before or if it had been on a different computer. Is this a boxed set? It wasn't an upgrade was it? Do you still have the original serial number sticker?
    Either the serial number you gave to the new owner is wrong or else they are entering it wrong unless the software you have was an upgrade in which case you also need the original serial number.
    If you don't have the correct original number the only ones who can help are Apple.

  • "Invalid Serial Number" - Photoshop CS2 (Upgrade)

    Hello, I got the Photoshop CS2 Upgrade some years back and it has always worked fine. Whenever I needed to reinstall my operating system, it was a simple matter of deactivating the software and then activating it after reinstalling Windows.
    However ths week, after reinstalling my Windows 7, I was informed that the Adobe CS2 activation server is no longer available, so I couldn't activate my CS2 that was installed from my CD. I read all about it on this website, and followed the instructions to download Photoshop CS2 directly from the website.
    Now that I am installing the CS2 that I downloaded from here, I am being told that my serial number is "invalid". I have entered it correctly. It is very frustrating, the software on my CD has never given any problems in upgrading my Photoshop CS to CS2, but the one I downloaded is a pain. I would appreciate it if someone could help me resolve this problem.

    Are you trying to install the one in the following link that doesn’t need activation if you use the serial number also supplied at the link, below, or some other one?  “Downloaded from the website” and “downloaded from here” aren’t very precise:

  • Invalid Serial Number for CS2??

    in 2006 I purchased a cs2.  I used it for a couple of years, got out of the industry and then changed my computer.  So I am gradually getting back into things, and went to reinstall my cs2.  Invalid Serial number.  What!!!???  How does a serial number go from valid to invalid?   What do I have to do to get things into working order? 

    Have the disk, can't remember where I bought it. Loading on a windows 7.  Warning at activation was just an error code.  Talked to Adobe, was told the serial number was invalid, that they could tell me nothing more. 
    Why would the serial number go from being good to not good?  I thought a serial number was a serial number.

  • Serial Number Invalid on Reinstall

    I haven't been able to open Au 3 for the past while. Every time I tried I would get the displayed error (have no idea what it;s referring to). I finally decided to uninstall and reinstall, but upon reinstalling, I have found that my serial number won't be accepted as valid anymore. This is the only machine I've used Au 3 on. Any suggestions? Keep in mind the error isn't the issue any more - it's that Au is saying my serial number is invalid.

  • Photoshop Elements serial number 'invalid'

    I want to install my Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 from disc onto new computer, but receive message that the serial number (from the packet) is invalid. Any advice?

    you don't need to deactivate if you're installing on the same computer (as long as there were no major hardware changes).
    but, if you want to deactivate and uninstalled program, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
    make sure you're using the correct number to activate:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

  • Serial Number Invalid?

    I am attempting to reinstall my retail copy of Logic Express 8.
    I type in the serial number and it tells me it is invalid.
    I've tried using 1's instead of I's and 0's instead of O's.
    This isn't an issue of another copy being installed elsewhere,
    I've formatted the drive it was previously installed to.
    I'm not sure what I should do as apple doesn't really have email or phone support for this software it seems.

    Was it a fresh install of LE8 or did you upgrade from LE7? I know some people who installed LE7 and then did the upgrade to 8. There are some Serial Number issues occasionally. If you did, you might have to re-install 7 again.
