I had the old Creative Suite on my computer and now I just downloaded part of it using this link Download Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 2 products.  I clicked on the link for the 1st disc, after that installed, I went on w/the second link for disc2 and so on. After all were installed,  I saw the icon for Creative Suite and clicked on it.  It was asking me to insert disc 2 to continue.  I already downloaded all from the links but somehow even though the system indicated that I had all three installed, I have only photoshop and it's elements, no Illustrator.  How do I get Illustrator?

    Regina,

    If we are talking CS2, the right download page is here, for those with legal ownership:

    Note: If you have the CS2 Premium Suite version, you will have to download the Standard, and then download Acrobat and GoLive separately under their own replacement serial numbers.

    GoLive 9 can be downloaded with the relevant link in the first post by Herbert here:

    Thank you for your note.  I do have legal ownership.  I uninstalled the software from my control panel and any icons I have on my pc.  However, when I start installing the 1st disk, I get this.  I don't know where else the program would be if it's uninstalled.  Please let me know.

    Which system is this?

    Did you first download all the disks before you started any installation process?

    Did you follow Jacob's advice of using the Standard version?

    CS2 was about hundred years ago, so it might be difficult to find anyone who has experience on how to use this installation.


    I'm using Windows 7 Professional

    I did download the Standard version; all the discs but as I mentioned in previous note, after I downloaded the discs, I saw this.  I understand CS2 is very old, but I did pay for it so I need the replacement; if it's out there, shouldn't I be able to download?

    You downloaded it from the Adobe website?
