Good morning,

I had Photoshop CS 2 license, but today I resintall software and after that I can't active license.

I research and know the activation server for Photoshop CS 2 was expired.

After that I found this link:https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/activation-fails-cs3-acrobat-8.html

I input Photoshop CS 2 serial key and result is success. I have new serial key and new Photoshop CS 3 installation source.

So can i use it for legal ?

    I have same issue. I bought CS2 years ago and old PC dying. I removed from old computer and tried to install discs on newer one. I still have serial number but says it can't authenticate the number and adobe help desk won't help me. Can you be more specific about where to locate a good number? Otherwise I think I will have to uninstall/install fresh every 30 days (allowable time without authentication by adobe). Thanks!

    Yeah, that's on Adobe. But the OP's question was about legal rights to use (rather than access), which is addressed there.
