Serial Number (Lack of) for CS2

I am attempting to download CS2 and it is asking me for a serial number. Another user recommended I create a ZIP file, however this is on a work computer so I was granted special privileges once to download the program. How can I find this number or bypass it with out having to re-download files?

Did you pay for PS CS2 many years ago, so you are a licensed user?   Be aware that the CS2 licensing servers were decommissioned some years ago so you have to download and install special versions of CS2 and use a special serial number, but this is only for users that originally purchased CS2 and are licensed to use it.
If all that is ok, then here is the page that has the links and special serial numbers for CS2 downloads that don't need activation:

If you don't have this version then I don't know of any way to get it without downloading it.  It is unclear what situation you're talking about regarding zip files or special privileges and what that might have to do with a serial number.  Also the term "download" typically means to get a file from a far away server (like Adobe's) and copy it to your local PC or Mac using the internet.  This process should not, yet, be asking for a serial number.  What does ask for a serial number is when you install the program using the installer that was downloaded.

    Doug,
    Just to make sure:
    Is it AI as a standalone application for Mac?
    Otherwise, it will be one of the other serial numbers (for the whole suite (Mac or Win) if it forms part of it, or for the standalone Win AI).
    Concerning the whole suite, you should be aware that the only suite version available for download is the Standard, so if you have the CS2 Premium you will need to, you have to download the Standard and then the Acrobat Professional and GoLive separately.

  • Serial Number is not for a qualifying product

    Hello!
    I just purchased a new Windows 8 laptop on which I want to load my existing copy of CS6 (I have the CD). I deactivated it on my old computer and tried to load it on my new one.  I'm receiving the following error message:
    This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another.
    The only CS6 in the list of products to choose from is Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and prior versions.
    I verifed under my account on the adobe site that I had registered my copy of CS6.  I'm really not sure what else to do but at this point I'm lost without my Photoshop!!! 
    Thank you for your assistance!

  • Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product..." when installing an upgrade or upsell

    I am trying to open a .indd file.  I am running Adobe InDesign CS5.  I got an error that plugins need to be updated.  When I try to install the updates, I get the error that says: "Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product..." when installing an upgrade or upsell..."  
    Can someone please help me with what I need to do to be able to open .indd files?
    Thanks,

    Those files were created in a later version of InDesign. Have the person that created them save them back via IDML or you’ll need to upgrade.

  • Installed successfully, but can't update.  Error "Serial Number is not for qualifying product"

    I installed Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium (CS5) on a new PC (Windows 8.1).  Installation was successful.  I uninstalled it on old PC and de-activated it.  My problem is that I can't Update.  Without Updates, I can't read newer Canon photos (so I can't use Bridge or PhotoShop).  In doing the install the first time, I put in an incorrect Adobe product number (I think from Elements 8.0, which I purchased years ago).  I have re-installed twice using the correct serial number, but same result:  I can't Update the programs and get a "Serial Number is not for qualifying product" error..  Please help.  Dave

  • Upgrading to CS6 returns: "This serial number is not for a qualifying product"

    I have CS5 and have been using it for about 2 years. The Serial number for CS5 it is registered to my adobe id.
    So i decided to upgrade to CS6 today. I then registered that to my adobe id as well.
    When i open CS6 and enter my new serial number, it tells me:
    Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer
    Which is strange because CS5 is currently installed and running on this computer
    So it then prompts me to select a previous product that I own and enter the serial number for that. So I select CS5 and enter the serial number for my CS5 license.
    However, it then tells me: "This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another"
    But it doesn't tell may any further details. I.e. Why is it not valid?
    Can you help?
    Thanks!

  • How do I get the serial number they ask for in signing in , I bought the 19.99 a month program?

    how do I get the serial number they ask for at the sign in part, I paid for the 19.99 and cannot access it , thank you

    Start by using your web browser to go to creative.adobe.com. Log in there with your Adobe ID.
    There is no serial number for subscriptions. You use your Adobe ID. Then there are options to download applications.

    You probably purchased a upgrade License so you will have to contact Adobe to get a refund and purchase the "Full Version".

    Installed 12.02.14
    Purchased 12.02.14
    Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (Windows, English)
    I have tried unsuccessfully to register 6+ times
    I receive the message:
    The SN is not recognized (error statement= "The serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another")
    I have a total of about 5 sessions that amounts to about one hour trying to solve a problem, navigating your website, going into endless cycles, and have noticed there is no way to call a phone number to fix a problem.
    Is this the new Adobe Paradigm?
    It appears to be an administrative problem with Adobe
    What is the fix?
    Please advise

    The message means that you have an upgrade license. You just need to prove you are eligible by entering the serial number of the Acrobat 9 or X license that you have - that is the "qualifying" product. It is not asking you to enter the Acrobat XI license again, you already did that.

  • This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another.

    I have the error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another." I am trying to re-download software, which I thought I did so successfully until I needed to open a pdf and the "serial number upgrade" box opened and is telling me that the serial number from a business purchase is not for a qualifying product. Steps to get Acrobat X Standard on my computer?

    Your message indicates that you are trying to upgrade from one Acrobat version to another.  You will need both serial numbers for the original (qualifying) product, as well as the new (upgraded) product.
