Adobe Creative Suite CS2 released for free.

I have an Original CD with a serial number, when you install it, it ask you for a serial number, then you need to connect to the Internet to Activate it, which gives you another serial number that you need to enter (or enters it automatically).
This is what the problem is, the Activation Server is taken off-line and no longer working. and w/o it the software is only usable for 30 days.

Sounds like you need to download the new version and grab the serial number.

Funny, I just did (for a friend of mine).
 
 
 
Download away...
 

You can download it, but they aren't giving it away.
 
If you don't own the original then downloading it from adobe is in the same legal position as downloading it from thepiratebay.
 
They've just removed the protection for the benefit of legitimate owners.
 
Obviously people will download it who aren't entitled, but it is a very old version.
