[brian25439712o9zc]

Thanks for your replies to my previous post. Decided to upgrade. Does anyone know if Photoshop cs2 will run on windows 11 thanks

Not really our speciality, but CS2 cannot be reinstalled and licensed on any kind of computer, since the licensing server was disconnected.

NO.  And what's more, you can't install CS2 because the activation servers for it don't exist anymore.  CS2 is END OF LIFE.

You will need new software that's compatible with your new computer.

it will install and run (using compatibility mode), but it won't run beyond the 30day trial because it can't be activated.
