Adobe Illustrator CS2 was installed on my computer where I work. When that computer failed and the company replaced it, I tried to re-install the software on my new machine. It loaded, but I can't get an authorization number to activate it. Is there any

Can I activate Adobe Illustrator CS2 on my new computer?

Short answer: download a non-activation version of CS2 from Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3

Longer answer: Adobe shut down the activation server for CS2 (and earlier versions) a couple of years ago. For CS2 owners, they've made available a non-activation version of CS2 at the above link.

Download the non-activation version and use the new non-activation serial number provided there. Your existing CS2 serial number will no longer work.
