- I cant figure out why this isn’t working for me 😦 i had the host file thing edited, but most of the first how to’s only showed the basic one liner 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com. It was saved prior to the install finishing, and i have working serials, but when i enter the serial, it gives it the green checkmark, but goes on to ask for adobe ID.
- HowTo: Block Adobe Activation using the Hosts file (Updated Jan 2014) Adobe applications includes an activation mechanism since version 8.0 (CS) and later. You can prevent the application from calling-home by manipulating the system's Hosts file.
Addendum
Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue. These products were released more than seven years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported.
Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products.
Activation – No Connection. Recently my Photoshop CS3 decided to tell me that my license activation was expired/needed re-activation. I thought this had to do with a Windows 10 update from the week before breaking things as it also wrecked my MS Office installation.
Also, the link that used to take the visitor to a page with downloadable product links but now it will take you to the Adobe Creative Cloud page.
Don’t get excited, yes it seems to be free but no, it is not the latest version. I have read on multiple Web sites that Adobe is giving away CS2 suite, it seems to be real but the download page reports errors. That may be due to the heavy demand to download overloading the servers. Although it is several generations old, the core feature set of Photoshop will be there, of course you can download the other products in the suite as well.
Keep the following information handy if you are interested in downloading the software:
