I need an answer from Adobe, not the community!!! This is sooooooo difficult to get service from Adobe!!!!

 

Correct answer Nancy OShea

I hate to burst your bubble but CS2 is officially dead.   An activation code is not possible because those aging activation servers were taken offline many years ago.  And Adobe has since retired the legacy download links.  I'm sorry but this is completely out of our hands now.  Chat support cannot help you either.

@abhish_7602 activation servers for CS2 have been shutdown, even you got the serial number you wouldn't be able to activate it

Hi

Please try again. We don’t work for Adobe and don’t have access to that information. Keep a copy of the chat, and post back.

 

Did you type “Agent” as directed by Dave?
