I read here:

<http://photographylife.com/adobe-to-provide-creative-suite-2-for-free#more-42755>

that Adobe is offering free downloads of the 2005 software CS2.

The link provided there:<http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads&pid=4485850> does not work.

Any one know answers? Thank you.

Effective December 13, Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch. These products were released over 7 years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems. But to ensure that any customers activating those old versions can continue to use their software, we issued a serial number directly to those customers. While this might be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, we did it to help our customers.

I swear Adobe is run by fing APES!

I paid 1800$ for my CS2 production pro and now that you are so fing cheap to validate users serial numbers, anyone that din't go to boyscouts and grilscouts gets all this crap for free and ligitimate serial numbers.

Adobe, you're Rome and eventually you will just crumble from the inside out. This isn't my first experience with your complete idiocy.

And to say this software dosn't run on newer OSs is BS, it all runs fine in Windows 7!

nothing in the donwlonad pages, nothing in the eula, nothing during intall. Soo it's free unless they change something. Legaly no one could tell it's not free.

Please, could you then confirm if it is NOT legal to use this software free of charge for either personal or commercial usage such as making sprites for software?

I understand that it was intended for the costumers with those versions, how about the ones that were interested into using that specific photoshop version without having a license?
