    I am sorry, Stephaniep1970 but as John pointed out Creative Suite 2 will not work on modern versions of Mac OS.  It was designed for PowerPC processors and relied on emulation technology, within Mac OS, to run on newer operating systems.  For more details see Activation server shut down for Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7, and Macromedia products .

    Are you aware that CS2 will not install on a modern Mac?

    I am aware now, so I guess my Creative Suite goes in the bin with the money I spent

    Stephaniep1970 I am sorry you are facing a frustrating experience with installing Creative Suite 2 on your new Mac laptop.  What operating system is the Mac laptop running?
