I updated my system to Microsoft 10. I cannot get into Photoshop. It indicates

that  I must activate it. I tried the procedures that it says to take for

activation but cannot get it to activate.

I can not get the activation process working. Which it indicates I MUST DO.

Hi Regisce,

If you are talking about the original Creative Suite, please be aware that the activation server for CS2 and earlier programs (which includes CS) was disabled a few years ago due to an technical issue. Therefore, you cannot reactivate CS as currently installed on your computer. However, Adobe has made a special version of CS2 available for anyone affected by the server shutdown. Details and instructions are available here: Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3‌.

Please note that CS2 is over ten years old and may not run on modern operating systems like Windows 10. One idea that may help: Compatibility Mode | Windows 10 Forums.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Best,
