Years ago Adobe did a promo on facebook with a free download of its product key for photoshop CS2. I still have it on my computer and it works great for my needs but its time to upgrade the computer and I can't find the product key probably because I copy and pasted it from facebook. How can I find the product key in photoshop that is on my computer now so when I do the reinstall on the new computer I will have it?
I don't know anything about facebook, but a "promotional" free download seems unlikely.
What did happen a while ago was that the CS/CS2 activation servers were shut down for technical reasons. That meant users could no longer reactivate the software if they needed to reinstall.
In order to not leave existing customers out in the cold, a non-activation version was made public, along with a special serial number that didn't require activation. This is still up, see link above.
Note that this is for paying customers who already have a CS/CS2 license. It is not a "free" version - although as old and obsolete as it is, enforcing this is probably not a high priority.
