Adobe now giving away all CS2 products...for free

Including Photoshop

Thanks for the link Simon - any idea why Adobe are giving this software away for nothing?

hi everyone

You have heard wrong! Adobe is absolutely not providing free copies of CS2 or any of its software!

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.)

In other words, if you download the product and don't currently have CS2, etc. then you are using an illegal copy and this is software theft. As long as people are aware of this, then we (IFAS) cannot condone the actions of individuals.

Their site states nothing about that, and the fact that they have published a valid license for the product also clearly indicates that they are giving this away for free

According to an Adobe representative, I asked why in my Adobe Profile, all the CS2 products are listed, they replied that since the CS2 products are no longer supported by Adobe and many of the newer operating systems, and that they are no longer under development, CS2 is free to download.

Adobe do not expect people to be calling Adobe for support on these products.

There is no evidence on the Adobe site of any Limitation and this is the reason why....apparently.....from an Adobe representative
