Hello,

I have just had my mac repaired, the harddrive went. It is a old Macos high sierra.

So I now have a new harddrive and want to install my Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium. Can I still do this?

The Adobe installer on disc 1 will not allow me to install?

Anyone?

No matter your operating system, CS2 won't work

The CS3 and earlier activation server has been removed from service
-So even if you have a disc or saved download, CS3 and earlier are completely dead
-Adobe also no longer supplies the special non-activation version of CS3 or CS2

It's absolutely impossible to run CS2 on High Sierra. Maybe it was CS3, but you can't install that anywhere at all. Given a suitably old system you could install CS4/CS5/CS6 but they have real problems on recent Macs. For Catalina you will need a Creative Cloud subscription. In a couple of years, Apple have said, they will make all current apps obsolete all over again. This is one key reason subscriptions are good...
