I have a mac pro, I have CS2 discs and have the serial numbers for an update to CS3 however I cannot install CS2 on my mac pro.

I am also frustrated that no matter what I do I cannot get in contact with Adobe.

    CS2 will not install on modern Intel-based Macs. It is written for PowerPC based Macs only.

    That being said, you don't need to install CS2 in order to install your CS3 upgrade.

    Just install CS3, enter your CS3 upgrade serial number then enter a valid CS2 serial number.

    If your CS2 serial number is not accepted, try using the one published by Adobe at this link
