I just bought a new computer and am trying to load my photoshop but it won't take my activation code. Customer support says they no longer support my version, but that forums can help. Please help me. I am so tired of not getting answers.

    @rohit_9113 nobody here can help you with activation issues, you failed to mention what version you're trying to install

    Activation servers for CS2, CS3 and C4 have been shut down, as for CS5 and CS6, Adobe no longer reset activations counts for either of them

    @rohit_9113 this thread is over 7 years old. Please start a new thread with detailed information. As @Ged_Traynor mentioned if you are attempting to install pre-Creative Cloud subscription/licensed software there is nothing anyone (including Adobe Customer Care) can do to assist. Locking this thread.
