Is Photoshop CS2 free after all or no joy?

[Eugen_Something]

Hello, ive been a long time photoshop user, i believe pre cs2, i imediatelly liked this piece of software since the first day i used it, it was easy to use, intuitive with a set of powerfull features that would speed up my image developments, i used it at school design classes and even 1 month at an ads printing company. At home i could definitly use it to create high quality sprites for my software and since i never really had 850€, once i stumbled across this information you can understand i was thrilled by it, i stumbled accross this info from a fb post, then read some other websites over a google search specyfing the same so i took the plunge and downloaded it.

Now that i came here to triple check, im hinted it might not be free after all, could i please get a definitive answear by someone who works or represents adobe if this piece of software is indeed legal to be used free or not?

Thank you for your time everyone.

soooo frustrating....I have the original CS2 install disks, which I can not reinstall with their seria l # provided for the "free" activation from the adobe site. One error after the other for the last year trying to trouble shoot this CS2bullshit...i'm pulling out my hair.
