It was a good run.

Downloaded, but never installed / activated mine. Wonder if it works on Windows 10? Must try and find on a back-up somewhere...

Link no longer working, takes you to subscription services and trial software versions.

Missing so much good stuff thats in the later versions! However this is still a lot better than pretty much all other alternatives! (IMO)

Good work :grin:

Still works.

Thank you! just downloaded photoshop as well and the key works :grin:

Many thanks just downloaded Photoshop and works a treat :face_with_monocle:

Is not free. Activation servers are down for CS2 but you still need licence.

I have installed it and it loads the first part and just disappears anyone help me I am using windows 7 I know there is meant to be some compatibility issues anyone have a fix.

^Bump^

All the download links still work & easy to download now although it takes some time even on a 12Mbps broadband connection.

As someone mentioned in one of the posts, use a download manager with which you can pause, etc to make it easier - I use the free Orbit Downloader.

free stuff

Nice, needed this for some side projects Im working on.

Excellent, got Premiere and Photoshop! :smile:

Update, just installed following kiddac's instructions and took less than 20 minutes - all working perfectly. Thanks everyone!

Installing right now. Links are still good, thanks for this

true its a real skill and as much skill as taking decent photos, most people would actually be better off with elements anyway

Nope - you need to convert to Adobe DNG first.
adobe.com/sup…ows

Thanks for the deal. HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!! :sunglasses:

please help .. is there no Camera RAW with CS2 ?

Hot

Absolutely. Ive been replacing my naughty not quite legal progs with genuine articles too over the years, and feel (genuinely) happier.

Here's my interpretation. Adobe like the idea of lots of home users having an old version of CS on their computers. They know there is no way they would pay for the full Creative Suite, but if home users can open up psd and ai files then those files become more of a lingua franca for image editing. More importantly, bored kids and geeks can start learning Adobe products, meaning more sales in the future.
On the other hand, just making CS2 freeware would be dangerous for Adobe. There are lots of businesses where a few people need to work with CS every day and others want to use it once a month. Adobe want paid-for CS6 on as many computers as possible, not free CS2.
So, they release CS2 basically for free with some nudge-nudge-wink-wink statements. The freebie lovers who would never buy CS install it, the legit businesses don't want to take the risk.

What's your problem? I've installed using kiddac's instructions to the letter, it works fine. Thanks kiddac.

If you have installed it let us know the correct path. Unless you don't know what that ~ means. Your instructions are a copy from a forum, so I doubt you have installed it. Else you would tell us the right path. Have a look in through Windows Explorer and tell us the full name eh?

[quote=kiddac]OK after a lot of trial an error here is how to fully install the CS2 suite step by step. This includes photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and bridge (file explorer)

Download the CS2 suite files ( I did this via jdownloader software - google it)

download.adobe.com/pub…exe
download.adobe.com/pub…exe
download.adobe.com/pub…exe

and the extra goodies i.e fonts/textures etc if you want them

download.adobe.com/pub…exe

1. Right-click each file (.exe file)
2. Select Properties then go to the Compatibility tab.
3. Put a check on the “Run this program in compatibility mode for” then select the previous OS which do you think it worked. For your case select Windows XP with Service Pack 3
4. Then under Privilege Level, place a check on “Run this program as administrator”
5. Click Apply then OK.

ignore disk 1 (we will come back to this)

Click disk 2 - but change the Save Files in folder destination to
C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\

be default it goes to the wrong folder of C:\Creative Suite\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\ - This later brings up an error of insert disk 2.

If it says Unable to create the specified output folder! - just click OK

Click Next

---------------------
Click Disk 3 - making sure the address is C:\Creative Suite CS2

Click Next

--------------

Install the Extra Files if you want to

--------------

Now Click Disk 1 - Destionation folder - C:\Creative Suite CS2
Ignore Quicktime 6 message
Accept Agreement
Enter Serial - 1130-1414-7569-4457-6613-5551
Now you need to change the location as C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe is not valid
change it to C:\Progra~2\Adobe

If the next button stays greyed out, click back then go forward with the next button. All should now be good

Install the entire suite or just the components you require.

Select Do not Register on drop down on the registration page

Enjoy. Goodnight:
I have followed your instructions and its asking me to insert disc 2?
I'd be thankful for any help :-)

Thank you :smile:

if anyone's having any difficulty getting premiere pro working on windows 8 - here's what worked for me -

do the right click properties run in compatibility mode as detailed in the second post

then once installed it would open the loading screen, then dissapear and not do anything.

i then went to control panel - uninstall a programme - uninstall/change - repair.

seemed to do the trick - hope this helps someone!

This is a great deal. I was installing this from an old legit CD I had which kept failing on activation.
Then I saw this deal on their site and hey presto, back in business.:p

Just a small warning for those of you who are installing these on work computers...

I have recently been working in software licensing (specifically for Adobe) and the installation of any Adobe software means you have agreed to their Ts and Cs.

One of these Ts and Cs is an audit clause. This means they have the right to request proof of license for any installed software. If you can't produce a valid license (which means a serial number on the original Adobe box OR an Adobe License certificate for volume license) you can be made to rectify the shortfall by purchasing a valid license. And I don't need to tell you how much a Creative Suite license is.

So remember, Adobe are NOT giving this software away for free.

Good luck all :smile:

Just reinstalled Windows 7 to my PC, I hope this still works.

Adobe has messed up bigtime here. But it would be interesting to know how many people making use of this will actually be making use of this. Most of it is pretty mind-boggling to use.

anyone had success installing acrobat 8 pro for windows? it fails several times for me, telling me to check space or folder access rights, neither of which are a problem for me.
acrobat 7 standard installed without problem.

Great stuff

thanks OP!

These downloads are intended for those who already have copies of CS2. However, it's extremely unlikely that Adobe's going to do anything about what's been happening.

can anyone tell me if these are full licensed downloads or unlicensed ones

CS2 was designed for Power PC not the new intel Macs sadly :disappointed:

Wow that's fantastic! Cheers for posting pal :grin:

It doesn't work with Mountain Lion on the Mac! :-(

Not to be a party pooper but I see this freebie being spam and illegal to some degree. Why? Well, how people have confirmed it's a mistake on Adobe's end, it's for people who legally own CS2 and need to re-activate their LEGIT copy. About 10 mins ago I saw a thread deleted and marked as spam due to the site handing out illegal copies of 007. Dafuq?

Now I'm not aiming this at everyone as there might be genuine people on here who own CS2.

bookmark :smile:

I struggle to see how you've had problems, as the 'not so legit' version as you call it requires no tampering with the actual programme, at least not the version I got hold of (CS 5)

What serial number did you enter?

I get a screen where I need to enter the serial number.

thanks

Just an update, downloaded and installed Photoshop CS2 on Windows 7 with no issues. Excellent.

Works on windows 8!!

followed the first post on the instructions to install.

Free!

Happy days!

This is just a download for those who already hold a license. There might be installation keys listed on the page but that doesn't mean you will get a license to install the software. So they have just made it a little bit easier to pirate their software...

CS2 not free

Type your commI have just finished downloading the CS suite links. I will test them and see how they work and post later. (hoping to god they do not **** up my genuine version of CS5.)
- what a waste of time , why would you want cs2 if like you claim you have cs5 ....

Type your comment here...

Why expired? Still available?

amazing! thanks :smile:

Found this link on PC advisor they are classifying it as freeware.

Hmmm - OK I think you're right as I only installed the other 2 files out of the 3 and my Audition 3.0 folder is already more than 5GB in size. It must have unzipped and installed this file itself.

Nice deal

I'd guess it's installed by the other loopolgy file 'ADBEAudition_loopolgy.exe', as that one seems a bit small to do much by itself.

How do you install the Loopology 4.2GB file? I've extracted it and there are 2 files I can click to install - one is a Windows Installer and one is a setup.exe file

I've tried both, but instead of installing the software, it only gives me the option to 'remove' files or 'repair' files - there is no installation option?? :neutral_face:

Very good indeed, I use Adobe Audition at work (the exact same version - 3.0) so this is very useful.

Thanks a lot for all the help :smile:

I'm similarly intrigued by Adobe's statement; I guess there are plenty of reasons they wouldn't want to antagonize those who have already downloaded CS2; but it would be very simple to take down or modify the download page and links to prevent further 'free' downloads.

On the download page this deal links to there are simply the download links and product keys.
There is no statement mentioning licensing; on clicking the link there is no pop-up asking you to confirm you have bought a license; and similarly on install you are simply asked for a valid key.
As it is the product and it's license keys have been made freely available; there is nothing wrong in downloading and using them.

"While this might be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, we did it to help our customers"

The statement issued by Adobe is a little odd. It is either very badly worded, or they have been careful not to say the software is not free. It merely explains the reasons they put the downloads there, but no more than that. You'd think that, if they were trying to stop people downloading it "illegally", they would have made a clear statement that the software is not for general use.

I've also noticed that the large thread on the Adobe forums discussing this issue has mysteriously disappeared. Again, if Adobe were trying to stop people from regarding the software as free, surely they would have simply put a clear statement on that thread rather than deleting it? It's as if they're deliberately trying to leave the situation as ambiguous. It's all very odd!

(I don't actually need CS2, but I'm finding this whole thing rather intriguing).

I found I didn't need to register, the download page loaded fine without

they run fine on windows vista and 7 as many people have said

"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."

This is working adobe.com/dow…tml

It's been established that this is not free unless you have a paid license (Adobe said: "You are only legally entitled to download and install with that serial number if you have a valid license to the product.") but somehow SnapFiles seems to be ignoring this: snapfiles.com/get…tml

I got this thru snapfiles, if you're interested in freeware it's a better place to source it than here.

I love a good old self-righteous rant. Hot.

I assume these progs, now safely downloaded, be kept and installed on any future PC?

My ancient XP rig could never run most of them, so I won't be installing yet.

When I upgrade to a Win 7 (or god forbid, Win8) machine, the fact you don't have to go through activation servers means that (with compatibility mode), you can install them at any distant date?

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, tried both Mac and Win serial nos. and made sure the hyphens were in place. Also tried key entry of serial no. in case copy and paste was the problem. Uninstalled and re-installed numerous times - still no luck.

Any other suggestions welcome.

Considering I make that on one job, It isn't really that expensive at all. A website design and I have made my money back plus extra.

Thank you for the reply. I've just downloaded jdownloader so I'll see how it goes. I will let you know in approximately 2 hours. The fist time I tried it was already after midnight so I dont think it will help any.

Its just a bit weird how all the other links downloaded fine except this one. I really need to get more ICT savvy. The GCSE meant nothing...


UPDATE: Thanks it took a couple of tries but it worked in the end with jdownloader. I also needed to download WinZip as it is a Zip file.

Have you double checked you were typing the write code i.e. Windows or Mac. I did this a couple of times :neutral_face: . Also make sure you are putting the - in.

Try typing it in instead of copy and paste.. worked for me.

Wow, amazing deal. I just wish I was creative :smile:

Used no download manager, servers must not be under stress anymore.

Got the full suite in about 10 minutes.

Installed Indesign but does not accept serial no. listed - any suggestions welcome

Kiddac used a download manager, so you might do the same.
The one Kiddac used is mentioned in the instructions post, on page 11: jdownloader
I use one for Firefox called: DownThemAll
Download managers don't work for some links, but work for many and can give you the best chance of a download, as well as making it possible to resume broken ones.
You can either try one of those two or just do what I did and download late at night, when less people are around and your speeds should be better.
You can send me a message directly, if you need to, but I will likely come up with similar suggestions.

EDIT: Thanks OP, thanks Kiddac for the instructions and thanks Guinea, for the links on Pg 14.

I think this is the point behind it :grin:

I'm really looking forward to editing my friends faces on to stupid photos!

Paint was becoming too challenging.

Can anyone help me? I am trying to download Audition. I followed Kiddac's instructions and successfully downloaded the first and second link but the third link takes over two hours to download and then 5 minutes before the end it say the "download has been interrupted". I tried resuming but never started back downloading. I've tried it three times and got the same thing each time. I have already downloaded Creative Suite successful following the instructions. Could you help me wtih this?

Thank you.

N.B. hot OP, very hot.

As to the status of if this is legal or not Adobe has only issued one statement on it

As others point out it neither says it is free or not free.

Other statements on forums haven't been official and have been contradictory.

or walk into your nearest seller and just nick it.

l install it the old path C:\Progra~\Adobe u suggest is ok very strange haha

Thanks Kiddac, the reboot & restart worked :smile:

or in theory you could go on pirate bay and get the latest one for free......

They have not removed forum messages or threads

If you look over the threads Adobe staff are posting about this and one even goes so far as saying; I don't think you have to worry about Adobe coming after you for this, union_bug. (thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1130893)

Thanks :grin:

great find!!!!

Kiddac - you're a star. Thank you very much for your instructions and follow-up. It's very much appreciated. :smile:

I don't get the option to register, just the message that another instance is running & it will exit :-s

Molly. I am off to bed. So as a quick answer Try a reboot and then try disk 1 again.

My instructions were wrong. Just reinstalled it. God that uninstaller is slow. Correct path is C:\Progra~2\Adobe. Also on Registration page change it to do not register.

Hi,
I have followed the instructions for disks 2 & 3 which were fine. I have tried to install disk 1 following the instructions but all I get is that 'another instance of Adobe Creative Suite CS2 is already running. Set up will now exit' I cant go any further, can anybody help, please :smile:

Thanks kiddac - half a mo.....

Are you downloading the correct 3 disk files and using the correct serial for them.
Username can be anything: Organisation I usually put 'none'. Serial just cut and paste.

i just noticed my instructions ask you to



This is meant to put the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe

I think i made a mistake here as looking in my folders this has created a new folder progra~

Just done a quick google and the folder might actually be
C:\Progra~2\Adobe

Can you reinstall using that path instead. Let me know how you get on and I'll edit my original instructions if I have made an error

Just followed kiddac's very clear instructions, but I'm still getting the user name, organisation or serial number is missing or invalid. I've uninstalled twice and gone through the whole process again - any other suggestions?

GIMP doesn't support CMYK properly. Photoshop does.

People are obviously not reading through these posts fully, as I have already posted about this issue.

MAC USERS: INSTALL WINE and you can then INSTALL AND USE THE WINDOWS VERSION of Photoshop CS2. And probably other CS2 apps too.

Even with Rosetta support, I find the PPC versions of CS2 apps are horribly slow on my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz C2D). Don't bother, use the Windows versions!

free? been using Gimp for years.

finally got everything downloaded last night 14GB download on a wireless router thats going faulty isn't fun lol

The CS suite pakcage consists of Photoshop, illustrator, indesign.

All the links already listed. After Effects is not part of the download :disappointed:

Follow my instructions on page 11

Anyone know if this works on Mountain Lion? CS2 used to need Rosetta which hasn't run since Lion...

Are people really fussed about if I have a pointless bauble or not?

Thanks for posting this deal and for all of those that have offered helpful advice. Could anybody tell me what programmes are included in Creative Suite 2? Are there additional programmes to the ones that have separate links available to download e.g. After Effects?

No offence but imo your question is still valid even if the deal is/was a deal.

Watch out this deal is BURNIN'

good deal when I get it working haha

I keep trying to install it, and it says "Please insert CD 2", it doesn't give an option to select the file. Any clues? am I missing something here?

I am Windows 7 (I did all the compatibility settings required)

So this deal is not really a deal?

Op gets VIP badge?

Brilliant! Thanks to both SuperString, kiddac and nic0, amongst others.

Just spoke to Adobe CS, it is not free it is only for existing CS2 customers. This was posted about it on the Adobe forums:

Blog posted on Adobe

There is instructions on getting cs2 installed on win7 on the MS site
answers.microsoft.com/en-…03f

Glad people found my install guide useful. The only extra comment i think i need to add. Is you do not have to register the software on completion. Just change it on the drop down. And if you haven't fully followed the instructions and get an error. Do a complete un install before trying it all again.

Fantastic, thank you so much OP. Photoshop is now mine :smile:


Heat added :smiley_cat:

Many thanks op.

thanks, just d/l the 3 disk files.

Thanks

Thanks so much for this, it all worked for me! I'm so glad I checked HUKD today. :grin:

Ok I'm confused sorry
I've just read this isn't free? And is actually illegal or am I wrong???

Thank you, I had no problems downloading, perhaps cos not so many people downloading it today. X) Well I certainly have something, lol. Not sure why people can't open it, I'm a complete novice, just need to figure it out now, lol :stuck_out_tongue:

PR stunt ...

Give away ye olde version - people get comfy and realise new features in current version might be more use (eg: Premiere Pro)

Ass covering by saying "oops, this isnt for everyone" but not actually killing the downloads.

If they DID want to cover their own backsides they could require a user enter their current serial number to gain access to the new downloads and new serial - at least in the short term.

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and 64-bit.

Going round and round in circles with the serial message. Argh!

Question - should the Disc 1 files be actually in the Program Files/X86 or should you have a brand new entry on the C drive (Progra~2)?

The download page is back up again. You don't even need to log in to get the downloads and serial numbers now. If Adobe don't want to give it away for free then why make it so easily available, surely they are shooting themselves in the foot.

Nice one OP!

The only package that will work on MAC OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) is Acrobat Pro 8.0

Terri Stone,

Long and short of it seems to be Adobe wanted to drop CS2 distribution support (activations and activation troubleshooting) and given the official supported OS only went up to XP which is over 11 years old they figured not many people would be interested.

Adobe have admitted their 'mistake' and won't be taking any action over this. Anyway, do you really think this will hurt Adobe, giving away products that are WAY past their prime? If anything, it will get an entire new group of people hooked on their products, many of whom will eventually pay for a newer version. Smart marketing disguised as a blunder imo.

Wow. Thanks for the advice for us novices! :smile:

works for me

All done, many thanks Kiddac :smiley_cat:

Can't see why there would be any trouble brewing for HUKD at all.... it's legit software from a legit website, how it's interpreted is up to the user

You'll need to download and install Rosetta - Snow Leopard (10.6) is the last version of the Mac OS which will support this in any way.

Welcome to HUKD. It looks like you signed up, especially to put together this list. Thanks very much.

Can't believe HUKD are allowing this, it isn't free - reviews.cnet.com/830…ee/

Could be trouble brewing for HUKD sending out a newsletter telling people it is free...

All the software on the list is for pre Intel Macs so you need a version of OSX that supports it (10.7 and lower I think)

elements instaled worked fine havnt tried cs2 itself yet tho

Great to see q freebie as todays hottest deal!

Expired. This is NOT free, it is technically piravy
forums.adobe.com/mes…662

I get this as well despite following the tutorial. Going to try and do again.

Then you're doing it wrong. Not that I'd know, of course...

My mac won't open the files because its says they are no longer supported ??

Got a bit confusing for a technophobe... but then kiddac came to the rescue with it all in a language I can almost understand... and now I am on it.... wehey.... Cracked it, my husband will be so impressed... Great deal, and thanks for the English version kiddac :smile:

The link maybe working but it's not legal. You may as well be downloading it from Pirate Bay,

Don't know who expired this - just worked fine for me this morning.

Cheers OP.

Great find. Installed perfectly on Windows 8. It's an old version but works :smile:

Many thanks to OP and to kiddac for his excellent installation instructions, not yet tried as it's time for bed!

dalipsinghno1, I don't think you need to worry.
Having downloaded the three disks for Windows, and the additional "goodies disk" recommended by kiddac, I too received a warning from my AV that disk 3 was not often downloaded and could harm my PC.
Scanning all the downloads with both AVG and MBAM declared them all to be OK, but don't take my word for it, do scan any downloads yourself before you open the files.
They can't (usually) do you any harm 'till you open or double click on them. :wink:

This freebie certainly puts the 12 days of Christmas app in the shade!!:D

Why bother registering? It works fine without doesn't it?

You're doing it wrong! :wink:

thanks kiddac just finish install it n work fine but register unsuccesful may be register later

I have tried to download the Disk 3 file but my McAfee smart screen reports this file is unknown and advise me to delete it, like my comment before it is still happening

I wish I could Download it....

Awesome

The software and serials are fully working. Once my large step by step installation post has got past the moderators you will be able to fully use this suite. I have fully tested and all is working.

I had similar.... I think I half installed it then aborted. On 2nd attempt I got the same error.
Try removing it through Control Panel, add/remove programs if you haven't already and then try reinstalling.

so in hindsight does this basically mean all the GBS of downloads with the serials from this thread wont actually work lol ? i was planning on learning how to use it all wouldnt be prepared to pay out the money for someually thing i dont actually know how to use

OK after a lot of trial an error here is how to fully install the CS2 suite step by step. This includes photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and bridge (file explorer)

Enjoy. Goodnight

You can use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the RAW files into DNG,and then import these to an earlier version.

I had a similar problem in the past with either CS or CS2 not recognising nikon D200 files - the workaround then was to find a free dng converter that adobe supplied that would allow the converted files to be read by photoshop. From memory it took a bit of hunting to find the right version of the dng program. Hope I'm not sending you on a wild goose chase as it was some time ago and they may not offer the free converter at all now.

Not free:

forbes.com/sit…ee/

How many downloaded it at home with their IP not blocked, then registered it to their home postal address and e-mail. Wonder if they will get at £600 bill in the post?

With all this free software and £25 operating systems, the poor pirates'll be going outta business :disappointed:

got photoshop working fine, ty

This is the internet, we know a good thing when we see it (_;)

Hot from me

Looks as though the whole world started downloading it...

Will use the individual links. Nice one OP by the way.

Just install illustrator, fantastic, I was only moaning how I needed it the other day but wasnt paying hundreds!

lava hot from me!

there is a workround on page 2 of this post - change properties etc & run in compatability mode

No idea. All the torrents i could find involved using a cracked launcher.

This is awesome!! Have just now dl photoshop - this version gives me enough I need for manipulating my digital photo's and works fine on Win7 (with a few complaints from the installer, but nothing you can't work around). Thanks OP, head added!

I followed instruction on page 2 & installed and ran fine on my win 7 (x64).

Hot. Does this CS even work on W7? I thought anything pre-CS4 wasn't W7 compatible.

I don't see that anywhere and I doubt that's the case

Thanks Op !

Oops was trying to post the direct download links but jserver has just done it before me!

They are full products.

Found a fix to install it in Windows 7 64bit as well :stuck_out_tongue:

answers.microsoft.com/en-…03f

mine are zooming down...........

Can i make flyers with this?

Do I need to click all 3 links or just one? (I'm on Windows 7)

quality, downloaded all files in about 5 mins :smile:

Tried to install CS2 on Mac OSX 10.8.2 and gets fatal error. :disappointed:

Oh well.

That is a lot of heat for a deal that is essentially trials that have always free! These are not full products, sorry!

My favourite price...

Serial number is shown to the right of the download files

But not 6? Is that due to it bent cloud based?

No, You Can't Download Adobe CS2 Applications For Free

forbes.com/sit…ee/

‌ :disappointed:

link not working at moment.

anyways i already have CS2 license, upgraded to CS4 only didn't really see the point of upgrading beyond (few changes that are applicable to my work).

Try to use IE to access if you have a blank screen

lol...downloading at work now, and getting 200mb download speeds, took about 20 secs a file. Beats doing at home with 2.5mb!

I made same mistake - carry on reading!

"If you have a digital creative streak but your budget doesn’t extend far enough to buy Adobe’s Creative Suite applications, this is for you. Adobe have made available an array of applications from its Creative Suite 2 bundle — for free.

Along with the ever-popular Photoshop CS2 are applications such as Premiere Pro CS2, InDesign CS2, and Illustrator CS2. If you want the whole bundle, the entire Creative Suite 2 is also available for download.

CS2 is not new by any standards — it was first released in April 2005 — but it’s still a fantastic offer and capable of some serious work. And when the cost is just the time it takes to download it, it’s a real bargain.

Download available here, with Windows and OS X versions available."

Thought that might be the case :disappointed: Luckily CS5 is very easy to acquire without a crack.

Thanks for the info.

Working now, clearing my browser cache seemed to work.

Voted hot

Where do I get a serial code from?
I can't get one of the website, and there isn't one in the download

IF ANY OF THE SERIALS DON'T WORK...
Turns out this free CS2 wasn't meant to be free after all the serials were intended for those who already own CS2 as Adobe have taken the activation servers offline. So this deal is dead basically

"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 .
You are only legally entitled to download and install with that serial number if you have a valid license to the product!"

Source: forums.adobe.com/mes…662

Any got a spare serial they can forward to me?

Same here. Installation failed on latest OSX. Did you try entire suite?

I will do search if it is compatible with latest OSX.

Cracking deal though.

Extremely hot! I lived with having CS3 for the past few years, only just moved to CS6. But this is great as a freebie.

serial numbers are on the same page as d/l links - look to rhs box

Awesome!! I've got CS2 up and running on 64-bit. Nowi 've just got to learn how to use the ****. :smile:‌ :smile:

Many thanks to the original poster and to the folks who posted guides and walkthroughs for ludites like me.

well it would be if i had a spread sheet prog installed..lol

Ah man, this sucks :disappointed: only bought Lightroom last night for my new Mac mini, CS2 would have complimented it really well :disappointed:‌ :disappointed:‌ :disappointed:

Old is gold.

no idea what they all do to know what i might make use of

cheers mate

Good of adobe to offer this, thanks OP working fine.

Why should you not install on win 8?

If you want to install CS2 it should be in a 32-bit OS environment like Windows XP. But Windows 7 has a solution for this.
1. Right-click on the installer file (.exe file)
2. Select Properties then go to the Compatibility tab.
3. Put a check on the “Run this program in compatibility mode for” then select the previous OS which do you think it worked. For your case select Windows XP with any Service Pack.
4. Then under Privilege Level, place a check on “Run this program as administrator”
5. Click Apply then OK.

Maybe i'm being thick but i've downloaded most of the items on that page and am yet to see a key/serial anywhere either in my email account or Adobe account?

Big Big sigh.
Adobe state that CS2 is for older computers,in essence win XP on windows,dont know about macs.
Opposite each programme there is posted a serial number,copy and past to a document and save it,better still print it out.
download the files write to DVD for safekeeping,including serial numbers.
Unless you know how to dont try to install on win 7 and win8.
Photoshop is a superb but complicated programme,be patient read help files go to their site for tutorials,look them up on Youtube.
You need plenty of ram and preferably a separate hard drive,even an SSD as a scratch disc as photoshop uses a lot of memory and your working files can be very large requiring Photoshop to use your hard drive in place of ram.
The Adobe site has information on setting up your hardware,read it.
Enjoy,only your imagination limits what you can do

link not working

CS2 is only compatible with OS X versions 10.2 (Jaguar) to 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

In OS X 10.7 (Lion) Apple removed the legacy Rosetta code that allowed PowerPC software to run on a Intel processor. Since 2006 all new Macs have been Intel based.

From OS X 10.7 (Lion) onwards you can only run CS3 or later, which was the first version Adobe released that natively support Intel based Macs.

hot ...thanks

Outstanding! Just done this, had no problems. Heat and thanks!

that and lots more

can't find anything (including links) in my adobe...

Anyone else got "Invalid Serial Number" for acrobat standard 7.0 ?

The total for all the windows files is around 10GB!! this is going to take forever :disappointed:

I'm just getting a white blank screen when I click on the link. Is anyone else having a problem?

Can anyone answer whether there is any difference downloading the CS suite CD images compared to the individual applications? The file sizes for them are way different - anyone know why?

That's because the latest OS X doesn't emulate Power PC programmes any more, thankfully I'm running OS X Snow Leopard and it does run perfectly.

really nice :smile:

Erm insert the second disk? Sounds like you have downloaded the whole suite version which is 3 discs, you will need all three discs...


On a side note, can anyone see or work out if this applies for commercial use as well?

You can download them separately each with there own product key.

Doesn't look like its included here no..

They're not emailed to you, they're next to the links on the Adobe website.

diyphotography.net/dow…ree

Maybe that'll clarify that it was an error :stuck_out_tongue:

I signed up but it does not activate on my account in the adobe website. When I enter the key in it says please add a valid key. Would I need to actually install it to activate it on my Adobe ID? also thanks for the find.

Nice one, Reg'ed will download at home

No, it's predecessor GoLive is.

I tried to downlod the links provided by top commentator jserver when I tried the 3rd cd my virus checker reported problem and suggested to remove it....

anyone else found any issues

the link site is busy/down still

hmmm I can't find my Serial Numbers in my account. Contacted CS and when I told the guy that it was free he closed the chat :)) Currently the waiting time is 30 min :smile:

I was just about to drop some money on Sony Vegas, but this is an amazing detail.
Premier Pro is a great piece of software so its just saved me £50+.

It might not be the latest version, but damn for free you really can't go wrong.

what do you do when it says insert disk 2?

there's 3 links for Audition 3.0, do I have to download all of them or what?

Why does it say that the serial number is invalid? :disappointed:

Link down, alternative?

BTW, this won't work on the latest OSX as they've stripped out the PowerPC support...

There are 6 clickable options next to Mac under the Creative Suite 2 header, as well as loads more below including Photoshop Elements 4.0/5.0 and Photoshop CS2!

If anyone could advise me on which I need I would really appreciate it. Cheers!

Doesn't work on Mountain Lion, totally frustrating. Hot deal though for those who can use it.

Bargain, thank you!

As someone who doesn't really know much about these... what should I be getting here? Photoshop, for editing photos to a much higher standard that the old photo edit software I've got... what's the difference between the different versions? Thanks for any advice!

Thanks and heated.

Does the Creative Suite have all the individual apps in there but the option is there for everything or separate?

Does anybody know what we need to dowload? If I just download the 3 creative suite disks does this include all of it? Or do I need to download the lot individually?

Not looking forward to the long wait on my 3mbps connection :disappointed:

Mac users without Rosetta support i.e. those running OS X 10.7 and above, can try to install WINE 1.5 and the Windows versions of CS2 apps. Photoshop CS2 works perfectly well in WINE under Ubuntu 12.04, and should perform the same with Mac compiles of WINE 1.5.

Is Dreamweaver included in Creative Suite?

Thank you!

This fails at installation on my mac running the latest OSX - presume this is my problem?

Most of the downloads have a Mac and PC version to download, select the link next to the Mac option to download the Mac version of it

Looks good. Logged in and can see the list of software and the keys etc. :smile:

I don't need it as I am lucky enough to have access to CS6 through work but a great opportunity for people starting out in photography etc.

Was wondering my thread on this got deleted, didn't realise it had already been posted until I saw this! Its a fantastic deal and this software may be old but its far superior to a lot of free products.

Not downloading yet... but is it one download? or do I have to download every link?

Unless they've fixed it then you need to alter the install path to progra~1/2 to get it to install, but it does work (or Photoshop does anyway)

Very hot! Thanks!

I installed it on Windows 8 64 bit with no problems. Just make sure that you install it as administrator.

Anyone else still getting "Site Area Temporarily Unavailable"?

Super find!

Sorry if I'm being totally dumb here, but when it brings up the downloads page, once you've registered, which bit do you download?!

There are so many choices! (I'm using a Mac if that might help you to help me!!)

does this run fine on windows 7/8 64 bit? I imagine there must be some issues

All the serial numbers are the same but I think that you should take it off, at the end of the day, Adobe are offering it for Free in return for your email address, its a small price to pay right?

So this will not work on windows 7 or 8?

any dreamweaver?

Thanks OP :wink: Got Photoshop CS2 running on Win7x64U :grin: Downloading the lot! :grin:

Thanks.. signed up and got my keys

For those that have registered with Adobe, but are having problems, I've uploaded an Excel spreadsheet with all the Serial Numbers to Dropbox here:
CS2 Codes

good wee freebie, heat added! :grin:

CS2 was released in 2005

cheers op!!!

Very hot. Cheers OP.

Chris

elements wants a serial code of which i cant see

In the end i just installed Photoshop Elements. Reading the description of the other apps i have little use for. Heat added and a great freebie.

how old is this BTW? anyone know?

Wow, I thought photoshop and etc were hundreds of dollars. even if this is an older version, incredible!

Just got mine, so it's not expired!

It really does take a "while". :neutral_face: ...and another while... a huge while oO

That's the price you pay for some of this software.

We have software where I work that costs 5x that. :stuck_out_tongue:

So I've downloaded Audition but it's not running on my Windows 8 machine :disappointed: even when using compatibility settings :disappointed:

EDIT: Actually nvm... comment #124 explains why

This is great. The site is down but the fact that they have made this stuff free really makes me want to keep on trying to register instead of just using the links. I will keep trying and also keep this in mind when considering purchases from Adobe in the future. I would be much happier to invest made hard earned cash in software from a company that gives something back.

Cheers - perfect for what i need.

yeah it does load eventually

So i try and register the serial on adobe.com and it says its invalid. has anyone installed using those yet?

Amazing deal! Nothing beats free!

this is not free! you are only allowed to download and use if you own the CS products.
this is just a workaround because adobe deactivated CS2 activation servers.

helpx.adobe.com/x-p…tml

Maybe they would actually get more sales if they didn't put it at extortionate prices... I mean £800+ for some software? AHAHAH

Heat from me good stuff

Fully all of this is nonsense

Ok - technically these are illigal and are to get around the shutdown of their old activation system. So unless you owned it before its not legal.

oK THEY CHANGED IT - IT IS LEGAL

used that code but says invalid am i doing something wrong :disappointed:

Yep, one of the ways they force you to upgrade is prevent you from installing the latest ACR - you *can* use Lightroom with CS2 though, but it will automatically render to TIFF before opening Photoshop.

Link seems to have broken at the moment, but hopefully it'll be back again soon.

Unless it was an error of course!

Edit: No, it's working, it just takes a really long time to load!

So what is the most recent Mac OS that this supports? I'd assume with it being that old it would rule out ML.

Thanks :grin:

Im not at all sure to be honest.Its worth bearing in mind that it was written to work on XP and as with other software its sometimes not going to work on a later operating system.The caveat of course is that if you know how to work around that you are laughing but for many windows users that's not an option,they just want to switch on and go without having to mess under the bonnet so to speak.
By all means have a go ,let everyone know if you are successful too.
I still use CS3 on office PC for quick jobs but CS 6 for more intense work on my 64bit workstation.Ive even got PS 6 and 7 tucked away on a shelf,one never knows when it may come in usefull :-)

Is there a difference between downloading the Creative Suite disc images and the programs separately?

The separate program installers are much larger than the three disc sizes put together...

I hope they've fixed the installers etc so they'll actually install/run without loads of messing on Win7/8 :-)

I still use Photoshop CS2 at home.. other than having to render to TIFF to edit from Lightroom it still does the job just fine, and crashes a lot less than the trial of CS6 I used recently.

thought they may have been user specific, but that's the same as the one I got

More like 1.9GB took me 5mins

It appears to be double talk.
CS2 does not require on line validation , just a valid serial number,which is provided on the download page, if I remember correctly !
IF you wish to uninstall CS2, first deactivate it then you can re install without having to get an activation code which is required if you try to install too many times.

Anyone having virus issues?????

doubt it is hukd causing the problem but links through from tech sites and such as this is a awesome freebie!

Ridiculously good deal. I actually still prefer this version as its the one I grew up with. Skipped CS3 and 4.

Creative Suite 2 Windows Serial 1130-1414-7569-4457-6613-5551
If anyone can't get access to the page for serials i still have it open.

Remove the "\" at the end of the link

I work as an IT admin and across several thousand PCs we have lots of different versions of Adobe products, i encountered the activation server issue a few weeks ago, very annoying indeed!

What restrictions on the licence? Can it be used for business?

The site is just busy for obvious reasons.

doesn't like sony alpha raw files in cs2 (arw) even tried camera raw update but files not recognised

cs2 = raw update 3.7 max
cs3 = raw update 4.2 - I need 4.2 for sony a700 :disappointed:

you voted hot even though you cant follow link....

Premiere alone is just over 1GB on its own and the other individual files are about 400mbs each.....
Anyway just need a few of them so best to download individually I guess.

Anyone have any idea how to get Acrobat 8 working for Windows 7 / 64 bit? All the forums posts I have found say to patch it to 8.1.x, but when you do it tries to activate, and it cant because the activation servers are shut down. :neutral_face:

Yeah - but without the dirt!!!! - their mistake, i'll feel no remorse.

Many, many thanks

This is a brilliant deal! Voted hot.

Cool of Adobe.

Best deal of the day

Think we need some common sense here. I am a graphic designer who has used Adobe products for over 20 years so I will give you some advice for those who need it.

Looks like Adobe has made a balls up here by underestimating that these links will be made public to the masses. Twitter was going mad with them this morning and now its global. As mentioned in a previous comment, they are turning off the old activation servers so anyone with genuine old CS2 will not be able to active or reactive it. Therefore they have provided a downloaded version and a corresponding serial that doesn't need to go through the activation servers.

The bad news for adobe is these links are now everywhere, so anyone can register for an Adobe ID on there site, and download the FULL software and use the provided serials to activate it. Adobe are now panicing putting out statements saying you need a valid copy for this to be legit. Unfortunately you have the full software and serial so not a lot they can now do.

You do not need to download all the files. IN FACT DEFINETLY DONT. The servers are already busting a gut, they have created their own Denial of Service attack.

At the most you need to download Disk1, Disk2, Disk3 and WWE Extras. This will download the CS2 suite.

Ideally I presume the majority of people on here just want a valid copy of photoshop for photo and image editing. So just download that link and that link only.

All the other software is very specific to a particular job and you will probably never need it.

With the exception of maybe these.
Acrobat Pro 8.0 - just use a free alternative if you need to edit PDFs. i.e Foxit PDF editor
Illustrator - Used for drawing vectors/line art.
Indesign - used for page/magazine layout
Photoshop Elements - is just basically a simplified photo editor. Good for grannies useless for most other people. Plus all the same things can be achieved with photoshop.
Premiere Pro - Is a video editting suite and certainly isn't for the novice. So no point in downloading unless this is your field. Stick to a youtube editting program :smile:

Finally as everyone is reporting the links are hit and miss due to the servers crashing. My advice download a download manager such as jdownloader. Copy the links in the opening post (only the ones you need) and they will automatically go into this program and then download at the full capacity of your internet speed.

I have just finished downloading the CS suite links. I will test them and see how they work and post later. (hoping to god they do not **** up my genuine version of CS5.)

sweet

Yes, Im getting the same.

der i see it now next to it on the main page!

Got as far as typing in my registration details and then bam...

Thank you for your patience.

The Suite is only a few of them, not all are included. Eg Premiere alone is bigger than the 3 discs I think so that and Audition aren't in it I'd say. Maybe a couple of others.

and you have it working ok?

Yes, Adobe link unavailable !

Stonking freebie. It is windows only or mac compatible?

I will try again later, and it would be good if I can get it running on my MacBook, it's a 2008 Aluminium model but only running OS X Snow Leopard, hopefully that'll be OK to run it.

As posted several times, this was a mistake by Adobe, they weren't releasing CS2 for free - they just made a version of it that does not require re-activation so that those people who already owned it could reinstall without needing to contact their defunct activation servers.

If you download and install this without a valid license you are essentially pirating it - you might as well go on TPB and download the latest version. CS2 is pretty gimped running on anything later than XP.

Thanks for this, I got Photoshop. Really quick download too, I averaged 6500KB/s :smile:

whats the serial number or am i missing something?

Anyone else getting unavailable errors? HUKD strikes again! :-)

Got the stuff downloaded but cant access the serial numbers - has anyone got the list ? Thanks

broken link?

broken link to register

Site area temporarily not available :(((

You get serial keys with your download so I'd assume you can keep the software as long as you like

Ive been using CS6 for a while on 64 bit win7 and its fine ,so far :-))

Cs2 is worth downloading but its incredibley slow at the moment showing as over 2 hours and Im on Cable.I suspect its very popular as the announcement is all over the web on photo related sites.

About time adobe gives something back.

HOT DEAL but shame I already have CS6

I have got it instaled OK on Windows 8 64 Bit. I ran the executable that you download from Adobe as administrator (right click the exe file and select "Run as administrator). This unpacked the required files to a folder on the desktop. When it asked if I wanted to install the software I clicked no and then went to Desktop\Adobe\Audition 3.0\Adobe Audition 3.0 and then ran Audition 3.0 Setup.exe as administrator. This installed it ok.

The EXE file is the installer 'bootstrap' utility, and the 7Z file contains the software package itself (the resources and the full installation program). You need all files in the same folder, Run the EXE file and follow the instructions.

Windows 7 is totally unsupported so you'll be on your own.

Please note:
CS2 System Requirements
• Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8. PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor
• Microsoft® Windows® 2000/Windows XP. Intel® Pentium® III or 4 processor

Does anyone have the direct link for this?

I'm getting blocked through my firewall at work.

Cheers!

nope , unavailable

can i do flyers with this?

Has anybody been able to download it recently without "Site Area Temporarily Unavailable" cropping up?

This software is not free:
forums.adobe.com/thr…t=0

free to download WITH having before a licence.

Great deal.

CS6 is free in Malaysia Bay though.

Is this a 'try before you buy' offer or will I be able to use it freely in maybe 6 months time? Anyone know?

'We're sorry, the site area you've requested is unavailable. Please try again later.'

Hope I haven't missed the boat....

Excellent piece of kit... Thanks OP !!!

Excellent find op,great deal,heat added.

Thanks OP excellent free deal!

I can't open the link now. I was in the middle of downloading and the pc decided to restart :disappointed: as if it wasn't going to take long enough...

Woah, just noticed they're giving away Audition in this as well? Damn the website, I have to get this! :smile:

Great recently started wanting to see what this stuff is like. Even for an older version for free is excellent

Cheers OP, and I totally agree martyj999 lol

cold I prefer MS Paint :P

Holy crap Batman, red hot! Suddenly Paint.Net and GIMP look pointless.

Fantastic. Use CS5.5 myself, but if I didn't I'd use this xD

CS2 is a fantastic bit of kit. Cheers OP! +Heat!

I didn't see any mention on the Adobe site, is the license restricted to personal use or is it good for business also?

Amazing deal! Older software but excellent for people who don't need the latest verions or people starting to learn.

Is it best to pick the downloads you want OR download the 3cd set?

This is great, even if it's a bit out of date, nothing beats legit software, I've had no end of trouble with cs4 from not so legit sources. Heat added :sunglasses:

Once you learn how to use it, yes.

Old versions - but incredible deal!

A great deal, however, CS2 will not run in Mountain Lion, which is a bit of a shame.

Ahhh, beat me to it! Haha, great deal :smile:
