Dear all,

I have a standard CS4 pack - which I want to install on the new pc - but the activation number (present on the box) does not work (red x) I am afraid that CS4 can no longer be activated - correct? Thank you

 

Ale

Correct answer AxelMatt

Yes, you're right. You can't activate all CS2 - CS4 products anymore.

The activation server has been shut down several years ago.
