Unable to activate Creative Suite 2 in Windows 7?

Unable to activate Creative Suite 2 in Windows 7.
Error message states: "The serial number you provided is not valid. Please check your serial number and re-enter it." I do have an active serial number and when talking to the tech, he stated that it did activate but my computer shows it isn't valid? I was told that Creative Suite 2 is not compatible with Windows 7. The program is 4 years old and was very expensive. I do not want to invest in a new upgrade so how do I solve my problem?

For the love of....did you bother to even look one or two posts above or below this one?
The same argument you use are just as invalid as they are in the other thread.

Unable to activate creative suite 5.5,

I have had Creative Suite 5.5 on this PC for some time now and then all of a sudden it is telling me it need activation.
I'm unsure why this is occurring.
It says I need to contact customer support which I am trying to do to get an activation code.
What do I do or is there a number I can ring in NZ to talk to someone?

CS6 perpetual Mac is version 13.0.6 Windows is version 13.0.1.3 Subscription cloud version is 13.1.2. If you have a cloud subscription and a perpetual licence you would not be able to have both version install at the same time on same machine. What does your Creative Cloud desktop application show and if you start CS6 if the flash screen shows or you can get to menu Help>About Photoshop what version i shown 13.0.6 or 13.0.1.3 or 13.1.2?

CS2 is completely unsupported under Vista and 64 bits adds more problems.
Best advice is to upgrade. CS5 will be shipping soon.

It says "display requirements not met", which means your screen resolution is either actually too small or misconfigured in such a way that the installer can't detect its settings...

If you're only seeing the 5 files, and not the missing D4 file or the Extras 2 folder for the Premium version, you'll probably have to contact Adobe. I don't think anyone outside of the company will be able to force the missing files to populate your list.
As for the instructions, I had to read through them a dozen times before I figured them out, myself. They basically tell you to extract all the files *EXCEPT* the one for Disk 1 first, because Disk 1 will automatically run the installer program, and they want the files already unpacked onto your hard drive before you run it.
Now, *I* am having a problem I need help with...I've followed the instructions to the T, and the stupid installer program won't work properly. I run and unpack all the other files first, then I unpack the Disk 1 file and let the installer run, it installs the first disk, then it asks me to insert Disk 2.
Uhm...there *is* no disk 2, it was a downloadable file that I already unpacked, per the instructions.
Obviously, there's details missing from this installation process that I'm not privy to.
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64. Yes, I know it's technically "completely unsupported." Yes, I've had the call center guy tell me it won't work. Yes, I was running it on Windows 7 Professional 64 for a full month without any problems (until I tried to run the program with my internet connection down and it told me I needed to re-authenticate, causing this situation to begin with).
I have also attempted to use this installer package on my Windows XP Pro 32 machine, I'm getting the exact same problem, it asks for a disk that simply doesn't exist.
Also, I'm POOR. Like, scraping to pay the bills POOR. The only reason I have Creative Suite 2 is that it was given to me as a gift a few years ago. Running out and throwing hundreds of dollars at CS6 is absolutely out of the question.
Ideas?

Hi Guys I have asked to transfere my creative suite from windows to mac, no problem, I got the serial number, but I have a windows installation disc how to I get the mac version on my mac computer?

HI Guys I have recently asked to transfer my Windows creative suite to a Mac computer. I received the serial number but unlike my lightroom install disc, which is win and mac, my Creative Suite disc is windows only, how do I go about installing a Mac version of my creative suite onto the Mac computer?

I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
/Applications/Aperture.app
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

Adobe Creative Suite Development:windows vs mac

When Adobe develops Creative Suite applications do they develop for the Mac or Windows platform first?

The builds for both platforms are done in parallel for Windows and MacOS from common source files with underlying libraries serving to differentiate how the programs work on particular platforms. The functionality is effectively the same for both platforms except where the underlying OS may prohibit some type of functionality (such as the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance for MacOS was suddenly prohibited by Apple a few releases of MacOS ago).
