How do I activate CS2 Production Studio Premium?

I had to reinstall the software but the activation server is down.  Dowloading CS2 (no download for Production Studio Premium) wouldn't activate using my activation code.  How do I activate my software?

Thanks John and Sumit. 

Oldgoats we have an updated FAQ on the topic of the activation server shut down at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195856.  In specific you will want to reference the following:

"If the software title you have purchased is affected by the activation server being shut down, but is not available for download in the previously referenced pages, then please contact our support team at http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html.  Please be aware our support team will not be able to provide assistance for downloading or installing the Creative Suite 2 software."

Hi Oldgoats,

Please refer to download of CS2 products and preactivated serial code.

https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads

You need to login with you Adobe ID and Password and Agree to the statement:

Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue.

These products were released more than seven years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported.

Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software.

The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products.

Regards,

Sumit Singh

I think the point being made is that the CS2 downloads page does not have a download link for CS2 Production Studio Premium.

This thread seems to suggest that you need to download the individual components of the suite instead.
