Installing Adobe CS Production Premium Suite

I purchased a copy of Adobe CS Production Studio Premium years ago and need to reinstall on a new desktop. I know the activation server is down so I cannot install from my CDs, but none of the individual program downloads or the Creative Suite downloads from the CS2 page work with my serial number. Please advise where I can download non-activation versions of Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio Premium.

    the cs2 programs work with the cs2 serial numbers listed next to the programs at that link.

    >on a new desktop

    If that is a Mac (you should always provide details when asking a question) CS2 will not work

    If that is a Windows 10 computer, you may or may not get CS2 to install and work

    Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10

    -RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window

    -or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL Windows permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)

    Oh boy... I missed that one. Thanks.

    So, if you can handle another dumb question... these are just completely free to use with those numbers? I know I need to get into the modern age eventually but just wanted a temporary way to use my old purchased products.

    no, they are not free.

    they are available for LEGAL use by owners of cs2 licenses.  it's not clear (to me) that a cs license allows legal use of cs2 (while it is clear that non-license ownsers are not allowed to legally use those cs2 programs).
