Good Afternoon,

I am a high school technology teacher.  Currently our school has Photoshop 7 installed in my computer lab (WINDOWS 98 REQUIRED!).  I would love to update the lab to at least CS 2 or 3.  I am curious is it possible to purchase licenses for the older versions of CS?  I know about Adobe's discounts for students/teachers/institutions however I know there is zero chance of a purchase this large would ever be approved. 

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

No... the oldest non-Cloud version Adobe sells is CS6... and that ONLY if you have an old, compatible operating system

I run Photoshop 7.0 on my Windows 10 machines just fine.

    Thank you for your response.  Since I am attempting to purchase this for around 24 computers, I guess I am going to have to be hunting alot.
