    Default Get Adobe Cs2 For Free (official) .. yeah its old but

    yup i know its old, but ... imo: beats fumbling around with gimp

    Adobe is shutting down their CS2 activation servers. Any CS2 users who have to reinstall will not be able to activate their software.
    Adobe is offering them a special install package with serial number.

    Tested and verify that Photoshop works on Win8 x64 so I'm guessing most if not all of the rest will work. Going to test Premiere next and see.

    *EDIT*
    When done I'll try Acrobat - then once that is done I'll create hashes for all the files and post in case someone has problems.

    Care to elaborate how you got it for free? I think it would be a major benefit to the community

    Is this a legitimate download for people who NEVER originally owned a genuine copy of CS2? The post does not make that clear.

    I guess it's supposed to be for those who had it before, but they've made the information public and it seems to be working. And it's one serial that they're giving to ALL users of the app. They're not supporting it anymore. End Of Life for the product - you can see it in the download URLs as well.

    Acrobat 8 does not work properly on Windows 8. Have not tested on 7 but guess it works fine on XP. Will tweak some settings and check. Still not done downloading them all - once done the hashes will come.

    Oh and on Win 8 the Acrobat did not want to extract from the EXE - had to extract using another utility - can use your fav archiving app.

    lol its a legit copy of the software @Khat17, fully registered and all
    I did my BSc Degree senior project last semester... as part of the project we had to create a website to house all the final project info etc (see my IT Capstone in the education thread). The project owner (IT admin at the school) gave us a copy of it use for the project in order to create the website lol

    No its not, it is originally intended for owners of the software. But i doubt they care Adobe that is
