Trouble activating my CS2 serial number

I purchased a used copy of Indesign CS2 education for my daughter and the setup fails when I try to input the serial number. What can I do?

    You must download and install the CS2 version provided by Adobe and you must use the new serial number provided by Adobe.

  • Reloading CS5 upgrade using CS2 serial number

    Several years ago I upgraded from Photoshop CS2 to CS5.  I recently had to have my computer reformatted.  When I have tried to reload my CS5 upgrade using the CS2 serial number it isn't accepted.  I went to the Adobe site and downloaded CS2 but I still can't reload my CS5 disk.  From Adobe it seems I need a code to unlock the CS2 activation but I can't seem to get help this way.  Now what do I do?

    Now what do I do?
    No need to -re-install CS2 at all.
    Just install the CS5 upgrade (the upgrade contains the full program code), enter your CS5 upgrade serial number then enter your CS2 serial number when prompted.

  • HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any

    HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any way to find / prove that I had purchased cs3 and locate a serial number? On my Adobe account it does not show my purchase of cs3 (I am guessing because of the trouble with registering my serial number). I have moved house 3 times since the purchase and am unable to locate the packaging or disk. Is there any way to prove my purchase without any serial number or showing under my Adobe account? Please help! Thanks

    The CS3 discount offer is only for retail online product, it does not include education or volume license purchases. Refer to Terms and Conditions | Adobe
    To check whether you had retail CS3 purchase, we need proof of purchase as well as serial number, without which the issue can not be resolved.

    You may want to ask in the Photoshop Elements forums where there are those who can better handle this question if you run into problems.

  • How do I get CS5 upgrade to recognize CS2 serial number

    Copy of CS5 upgrade whether downloaded or off CD will not recognize the CS2 serial number as a good number -- how do I load this on a new computer

    Found the answer -- http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-serial-number-qualifying-product.html
    Contact Adobe Support for unlocking 
    If you can't resolve the issue, an Adobe Support agent can help. Adobe Support uses a process called unlocking to bypass the Serial Number Upgrade screen.
    Important: Adobe Support cannot unlock your serial number until they verify that you qualify for the upgrade. When you contact Adobe Support, be at your computer to complete the following upgrade verification workflow.
    Chat with an agent
      Click Chat Now, above, to contact an Adobe Support agent.
        Do one of the following in the Serial Number Upgrade screen: 
    Windows: Press Ctrl+Shift and then double-click.
    Mac OS: Press Command+Shift and then double-click.
      The Upgrade Code window appears.
        Read the Challenge Code to the Adobe Support agent.
    I was able to get the unlock code by chatting with an agent  -- almost 2 hours  but have the product CS5.5 Design Premium installed and it now shows as registered in my account.  Thank you for your help

  • Why can't I activate Lightroom 5 despite having an Activation Code and Serial Number?

    Why can't I activate Lightroom 5 despite having an Activation Code and Serial Number?

    It may be possible that you are trying to activate the Creative Cloud version? What error message are you getting?
    You may need to uninstall the existing version and then download the Perpetual License version from one of the links below, and install.
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7
    If the above does not solve the problem then you will need to supply more details.

  • Obtaining My CS2 Serial Number

    Hi:
    I purchased a license for Photoshop CS2 for my desktop computer a number of years ago. Recently, the motherboard on that computer has created trouble and I can no longer get it to boot. I now wish to download a second copy of Photoshop onto my new laptop computer, but I cannot access my serial code from my older desktop. Can you please help me? Thank you for your time and consideration.

    You can no longer use your original serial number; see http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l and obtain the new serial number(s) from the download link in that document.

  • Photoshop CS2 Serial Number Not Working

    I recently got a new laptop, and I want to transfer the CS2 activation from my old desktop to my new laptop. I deactivated CS2 on my old computer, but when I try to activate it on my new laptop, I'm told that the serial number isn't valid.
    I use Window's Vista.
    Thanks!

    CS2 is not Vista compatible. You need to upgrade.
    And, once again, this is not correct. CS2 is not officicially supported for Vista, but, for most people, runs quite well.

  • Cant get my PS CS2 serial number to work

    I downloaded my ps cs2  and my serial number wont work, spoke to adobe customer service, and they provided me a link that also didn't work because they said the CS2 is outdated. please help with a solution

    All that should be required is to download a new version of CS2 - which no longer requires activation - from
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Install then enter the serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • CS2 Serial Number Not Valid

    I recently got a new laptop, and I want to transfer the CS2 activation from my old desktop to my new laptop. I deactivated CS2 on my old computer, but when I try to activate it on my new laptop, I'm told that the serial number isn't valid.
    I use Window's Vista.
    Thanks!

    Now, I have never done any trial of any Adobe software, so this might not be valid.
    When installing any of my upgrades, I have never had to have the program installed. After the installer surveys my system, I have always been given the option of inserting the original program's installation disc, for verification. Now, I have been upgrading from 2.5 for all those versions. I have also never used any download, except for patches, etc.
    It was not until I upgraded from PS to Production Studio, that I had a "full-version" of PS, between then and version 2.5. Everything else was an upgrade disc, purchased directly from the Adobe Store.
    I would also think that if you are running the trial, it would not care what other Adobe programs you have, or had, but could be wrong on this.
    I would only download any trial directly from Adobe, and no where else.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How do I install Lightroom 6 and active it using serial number while I'm a Adobe CC subscriber?

    I'am a Adobe CC for photographer subscriber and I have activated the new Lightroom CC on my desktop computer and one of my laptops. Yesterday, I redeem a Lightroom 6 serial number from Leica product purchasing.
    When I install lightroom 6 on my another laptop, the installer asked me to login using my Adobe ID to which my subscription bundled. I could not find a place to input the serial number and after I logged in, it activated as Lightroom CC but not Lightroom 6.

    Does this help? Serialize Lightroom CC trial to activate as Lightroom 6

    Just install the software on the new mac , the activation will happen in the background silently when you will launch the product. so need to very.
