Be sure to read this because it may contain answers to your questions! Official page works again http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs...index.html Same info as before too Please post any install issues / tips here...thanks To update the programs once installed: Change system date to before 10/01/2011, run Adobe updater, download/install updates, then change system date back to current Adobe official statement, sounds like they pretend nothing has happened. "Effective December 13, Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch. These products were released over 7 years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems. But to ensure that any customers activating those old versions can continue to use their software, we issued a serial number directly to those customers. While this might be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, we did it to help our customers. Please see http://blogs.adobe.com/conversati...rvers.html for additional information. ON THE OTHER HAND Later in that same thread, another Adobe staffer said this: Quote : Terri Stone: I don't think you have to worry about Adobe coming after you for this, union_bug. As soon as our execs have approved an official statement on this issue, I or another Adobe staffer will post it here. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4974633#4974633 BUYER BEWARE -- THIS MIGHT BE A WASTE OF YOUR/OUR TIME, ACCORDING TO FORBES [forbes.com] and DIYPHOTOGRAPHY [diyphotography.net] and some blog [blogspot.ca] citing the Forbes article. UPDATED 15 MINUTES AGO (APPROX 4:36 PM ET) "Update: Following a frenzy of Internet activity — and some confusion — it appears that Adobe isn’t giving away free copies of Adobe CS2." Quote : "On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated … You have heard wrong! Adobe is absolutely not providing free copies of CS2! What is true is that Adobe is terminating the activation servers for CS2 and that for existing licensed users of CS2 who need to reinstall their software, copies of CS2 that don’t require activation but do require valid serial numbers are available. (Special serial numbers are provided on the page for each product download.) See ."

This software is designed to allow you to run Windows XP programs in a virtual environment on a Windows 7 machine but apparently it also works with Windows 8. More info here: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/12/...-for-free/ If you are having the error message, "Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit". During installation put c:\progra~2\adobe instead of c:\program files\adobe. This worked for me for both Vista, Windows 7 & Windows. Hope it helps you! I've ran this since its release on windows vista and 7 both 32 and 64 bit machines without issues and did not use any compatibility modes. Also, if you're running Windows 8 Pro (x64 version), you can use Hyper-V, the virtualization engine built native into Windows: http://winsupersite.com/article/w...erv-142889 Still need to get your hands on an XP image (if that's what you want). Mac OSX 10.8: Tries to install and fails. Not sure about prior Mac OSX versions. (note: you need to use a MacOs that can run the powerpc emulator Rosetta. Mountain Lion won't work, since Apple dropped the emulation). Don't forget about bugmenot.com http://www.bugmenot.com/view/adobe.com Having trouble? try Chrome I only grabbed a copy of the CS2 Photoshop installer instead of the whole suite. It installed fine in Win 7 (via Run As > Admin) and never asked for a serial. If you have a "Disk 2 error" installing the Suite - clearpants Quote from clearpants View Post : Those of you having problems with the Disc 2 error. How to fix it: *Note This is for those who are extracting to the default directories. 1. Run/extract Disc 2, Disc 3, and Extras first 2. For some reason Disc 2 extracts to C:\Creative Suite instead of C:\Creative Suite CS2 like Disc 1 and 3 do. 3. Copy the contents of C:\Creative Suite to C:\Creative Suite CS2 4. Run the Disc 1 installer/extractor. If you chose your own directory for discs 1-3 to extract to then you probably shouldn't encounter the can't find disc 2 error. If you're trying to install in Windows x64 bit and you get "Error: the path you select for installation contains unsupported characters. Please choose a different folder for installation." - zero2dash Adobe's fix for this is here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-s...cters.html Quote : Solution 2: Edit the installation path. Edit the installation path, and then install the application files to that folder. In the installer wizard, type [X]:\Progra~2\Adobe for the installation path. Your Adobe Creative Suite applications will be installed to Program Files (x86)\Adobe. Resume the installation. The reason being: Progra~2 would be the short path name (seen by doing a dir /x in a command prompt). I can verify that this does work and it's now installing in my VM. (2) Acrobat 8 Professional quirks to be aware of - zero2dash 1) You need to right-click and "run as administrator" in Win7 because it will not trigger the UAC prompt on it's own and you'll get an error when extracting. 2) If you're running x64 bit, when it asks for "Files Needed" box when it looks for the AdobePDF.dll file....click Browse, and then use the "Up one level" folder and it's in AMD64\ADOBEPDF.DLL CHECKSUMS TO VERIFY DOWNLOADS MORE CHECKSUMS!
