After almost 20-years, I was finally going to read the manual and learn how to use Photoshop CS. When I went into our store room, I located the CS box but the jewel case with the two DVDs (or CDs, I do not remember the media) were not there. I have searched everywhere without success. I have the box and the manual, but I have lost the discs. How can I get replacement discs for my Photoshop CS? It appears that all of my registered products; Photoshop CS, Dreamweaver, and at least two more, have been deleted from my account. After all this time I can understand that but it is frustrating. Back to my problem. How can I get replacement discs for the two Photoshop CS discs that I lost?

The question is moot now. It can't be activated anymore.

The activation servers for all the old versions up to and including CS4 have been permanently shut down.

Of the Creative Suite editions only CS5 and CS6 are still in service, but nobody knows for how long.

Photoshop CS (ps ver 😎 on the Windows side required activation while Photoshop CS on the Mac side did not.

Activation on the Mac side started with CS2.

Maybe that's why I remember it. I'm a Mac user.

AFAIK, CS1 did not require activation, that was not in place until CS2. You should just need a valid serial number. Understand that CS1 is FAR out of support and may not even run on a modern OS (it will NOT work on current or even older Macs, and might not work on anything past Windows XP, for example.)
