Can't activate old Creative Suite Premium

Question

I have an old version of CS Premium that I have installed but can't activate on my PC. It keeps saying "the activation system is not available at this time." When I go to phone activation the phone number is obsolete. Is there an authorization code I can plug in there to get it activated?

Hello,Activation server for CS2 and older versions isn't available anymore as thoses servers has been closed from 2012.The only thing to do is to download a "Special" version of the CS2 Products : Download Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 2 products

Quite a few years ago, now, Adobe removed the activation servers for CS2 and prior versions including your CS. Their solution was to offer a customized CS2 version and a specific serial number you could use to activate it. These downloads and serial numbers were only for licensed Adobe users of CS2, but I don’t know as they care too much anymore. Here is an article that explains things and has a link to the special downloads and special serial numbers:
