Having tried and failed to transfer my daughter's cs2 licence from her XP PC to her newer windows 7 PC, I now want to try transferring it to XP on a separate partition on the newer PC.  Would someone please tell me how to do this for CS2, Elements and any other programs required to support CS2.  I know that XP must be installed prior to re-installing W7 on a separate partition on the newer PC.

    you can also, download and install a virtual desktop, like from Oracle.  Then do a fresh install of Xp of the Virtiual Machine.  I've done it once but need to do it again on new Win8 device.  But install does not go to the next "downloaded" disk.  any one know how to get past that?

    Thank you very much Gautam for your reply.  One minor difficulty with the referenced article.

    It says at one point "You can use the serial numbers provided as a part of the download only if you legitimately p[urchased CS2 . . .". 

    It is not however clear by what means you actually prove the original purchase.  I know my daughter's CS2 is legitimate but she has almost certainly lost everything bar the activation code which can still be detected on the hard drive of her old PC.

    It mentions that the serial number provided in the CS2 can be used only if you have purchased CS2, I understand your concern, this statement has been made to assure that CS2 link should be used by owners of CS2.

    Hi Nikngill,

    The activation server for CS2 products is  no longer available.

    Please refer to below article.
