    The activation server for CS2 is no longer available and you'll have to download a version that doesn't require activation:

    "Activation server unavailable" error in Adobe CS2, Acrobat 7, and Audition 3

    Hi Lori,

    what is the operating system you are running?

    Did you update it recently?
