you can't activate cs2 so all you'll accomplish for your efforts is 1 month of trial use.  then you'll need to reformat your hard drive or install on another computer to get another month.

 

if that's worthwhile for you, use a compatible os (you can use compatibility mode with win) and install as admin.

The CS2-CS3-CS4 activation servers have been removed from service
-https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite.html?promoid=19SCDRQK
-So even if you have a disc or saved download, CS2-CS3-CS4 are completely dead
-Adobe also no longer supplies the special non-activation version of CS2-CS3-CS4

@John T Smith , they are not completely dead.

 

 i think they're more trouble than they're worth, but that's an opinion, not fact.

CS2 was PowerPC and required Rosetta on Intel macs up to 10.6 Snow Leopard after which Rosetta was removed in 10.7
