Photoshop CS validation

[Martha29955589w2tn]

Can someone help me validate photoshop CS2. It seems to have been decomissioned. I believe there is a way to get it back but I'm not sure how.

Any thoughts?

The activation servers for CS/CS2 were retired many years ago, so the original serial number won't help. Adobe did provide an activation free edition with a new serial number, but that has long been taken down.

Activation servers for CS4 and below have been shut down.

As for CS6, nothing I have heard yet about the servers being retired. I'm sure the day is coming soon that they will pull the plug on that, plus CS6 won't run on any MacOS above 10.14
