Correct answer Ned Murphy

You do not move anything from one machine to another - it will not work.  You need to install using installation files and the serial number you have.  If you are unable to find the download for whatever version of Photoshop this concerns thru the following link then you should identify which version you are in need of.  Other downloads

I need to download Photoshop CS2 Upgrade Download for Windows which I had purchased in 2006 and installed on an earlier computer. I have the Serial # and purchase rceipt but cannot find a link to download this version to my current computer. I have Photoshop Elements on this new computer but would like to have my older version of Photoshop CS2. Can you help me?

Dead program, nobody can help

 

The CS2-CS3-CS4 activation servers have been removed from service
-https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite.html?promoid=19SCDRQK
-So even if you have a disc or saved download, CS2-CS3-CS4 are completely dead
-Adobe also no longer supplies the special non-activation version of CS2-CS3-CS4
