I have system 10.8.5 installed on my IMac with a new hard drive. I am unable to load CS 2 Premium.

    CS2 + Acrobat 7 + Audition 3 (AND EARLIER) Activation Server is gone, so read below

    You MUST use the special version and serial number on the page, not your original disc or serial number

    .

    NOTE that CS2 will not install at all on a "modern" Mac with an Intel CPU, plus CS2 requires Rosetta and Apple removed Rosetta from OSX 10.7 (Lion) so your 10.8.5 will not work
