Yes, you can continue using CS2 from 2005 as long as it is on the same computer with the same OS and neither fail.

The activation servers for CS4 and earlier (including CS2, released 20 years ago) were shut down years ago. You won't be able to activate.

 

I've moved your post from Bugs to Discussions for now.
