PLEASE DON'T REPLY ABOUT LEGALITY/BUSINESS TACTICS/WHY COMPANIES ARE RIPPING YOU OFF/OH NO ADOBE/SOME OTHER BS, because NO-ONE CARES. Hey guys, I just wanted to share something that might help a few of you!

Hi, I would like to activate Adobe CS 2 Premium for Mac. Photoshop is requesting a Authorization Code. You MUST use the special version and serial number on the page, not your original disc or serial number. Step 3: In the Downloads page, scroll down to the section that reads 'Photoshop CS2'. Step 4: Click on the appropriate download link for your Mac or Windows computer to begin downloading.

Adobe has put up CS2 Master Collection (including photoshop) to download for free on their official website. They had a problem with their activation servers so they shut them down and made CS2 free to download. If you scroll down you can also download Photoshop on its own. It works on Windows and PowerPC Macs. Simply go here (you need to create a free Adobe ID to access the links): Let me know if this helped! Nancy drew games for mac. Since newer versions of Photoshop and CS aren't supported on PPC anyway, and CS2 can do 99% of what the newer versions can, this might help some of you who want to be a bit creative!

Cs2

I'm sorry, these are not free. This has been discussed before about two years or so ago when they did this. You have to have purchased a CS2 product.

The serials and downloads Adobe provided because the activation servers were taken off line for CS2. With these downloads and serials you can install and continue to use a CS2 product that you've purchased without having to worry about activation. But they are not free. That said, I will say as I said the last time this came up, it's not as if Adobe is preventing anyone from downloading and using them. Although at some point they did require your Adobe ID to login and access them. I'm sorry, these are not free. This has been discussed before about two years or so ago when they did this.

Click to expand.I know, if I'm going to be honest, I think Adobe meant for random people to download it and get a taste of what Photoshop is like.

However, they couldn't just make it free for everyone and say that everyone can download it because if they did that the people who bought CS2 when it came out would be unhappy because Adobe is giving away the software they paid thousands of dollars for. Therefore Adobe made it very easy to download with no verification, but simply said that its only for people who have purchased it before to avoid any trouble.

Click to expand.Free to download yes. You just need to create an Adobe ID. It's not illegal to download them, you are correct. It is illegal to use them without having ever purchased them to begin with. And, yes, Adobe stopped selling CS2 over a half decade ago.

Did you read the statement I made about Adobe not preventing anyone from downloading the installers? In pointing out the potential legal issue with using the software without having bought a license I am helping forum users - a point you neglected to mention in your OP and by suggesting that the software was free to use simply because the serial number was posted. I stand by my statements. As to 'who cares'. Adobe's legal department cares. And the Macrumors moderating staff cares too. Oh sure, the chance that someone from Adobe legal is going to come after you over a decade old app is not likely.
