Hi,

I need photoshop for my small company but it's too expensive.

I found a Photoshop CS used box with licence, never activated.

Is it ok? can i still activate it?

    No, it can no longer be activated (if it is CS, CS2 or CS3). Also the chance of such old software running on a current computer is poor.

    If you really cannot afford $10 per month for Photoshop, you probably need to look for an entirely different product.

    If you can't afford $10 a month, there is Photoshop Elements (Photoshop lite) which comes on disc for a one-off payment of around $90.

    In which dollars? We don't know where in the world you are, but in the US the Creative Cloud Photography Plan is US$9.99 per month. Compare plans | Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan

    thank you for your reply.

    photoshop for companies is $ 37.18 each month, not 10.

    Do you need a volume license for multiple users in your company or a single user license. If it is the latter then the Photography plan may meet your needs and includes Lightroom and Photoshop for less than the price of Photoshop alone. In the UK it is £9.98
