I don't see what's the big deal about software from April 2005. Just wish Adobe didn't charge $50 a month for all their software a month. It's over price.

It's well worth it for what you get, you can use all of their software and services, receive 20gb space, the software has 'extra's exclusive to creative cloud members such as CSS export in PS. I managed to get it a little cheaper on student discount but i would still be happy to pay the full amount.

Hmmm - it appears it doesn't like something with Win 8 even under Compatibility mode:

You will need to change the install location - I took out the (x86) part and it moved on.

Although it doesn't really matter, C:\Program Files is meant for x64 software only. You can install to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe by entering C:\Progra~2\Adobe.

Yeah, I saw that solution later on. Had a bear of a time installing it, but it finally did. I had to burn a disc for each one and then install that way, but in reality, looks like I could have done an install from the directory after merging all files into one directory. Either way - works fine on Win8 for those wondering.

Adobe in my books wins the "Smartest company" of 2013 award.

Yep. That's an easy way to get alot of companies correctly licensed and using the full suite of CS, even if it's an oldie; i remember one time i was a trainee in a big television company in my country and the folks in there were still using PS5...in 2004. Still we could do everything necessary (graphic wise), although not so fast (example: one graphic operation took like 10 steps in PS5 were in CS1 it was like 1 step or 2 steps lol).

I've tried to merge all files into one directory but it's still asking for CD 2. :s Looks like I'm going to have to make ISOs from the files extracted by each installer and then mount them.

We're sorry, the site area you've requested is unavailable. Please try again later.

The direct links are still working: <snip>

Not sure how you merge the files but, I had this problem then I realized that the 2nd file "CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe" installed to a folder called "Creative Suite" and not "Creative Suite CS2" like the other two. Once the same folder was used for all three files then it worked.

Unfortunately, for me, this version of Photoshop doesn't seem to like to open .CR2 files :/

If you download and install the related Camera RAW plugin for Photoshop it should open them natively :) Each .CR2 file is coded based on the camera it was taken with though, so make sure your camera is on the compatibility list before installing. If say, the most recent version lists 'Added Compatibility for Canon EOS 550D' then by extension it'll support the 500D, 450D and so on.

Yeah, I realised this just now. I moved the files in the Creative Suite folder to the Creative Suite CS2 folder and it's installing correctly now.

Well, what do you know. Works like a charm. Thanks.

It makes me a sad panda to see that the site is down. I know I can (and have) got it from that external site but I wants it from Adobe for some reason lol.

If you're referring to the site I linked to, the download links are from adobe.com. It's only the page that is down, not the download links.

It seems Adobe didn't release CS2 for free.

On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated ...

You have heard wrong! Adobe is absolutely not providing free copies of CS2!

What is true is that Adobe is terminating the activation servers for CS2 and that for existing licensed users of CS2 who need to reinstall their software, copies of CS2 that don't require activation but do require valid serial numbers are available. (Special serial numbers are provided on the page for each product download.) See <http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1114930>.

You are only legally entitled to download and install with that serial number if you have a valid license to the product!

We have to pause this service for system maintenance. We're sorry for the inconvenience to everyone for assistance. As soon as maintenance work is finished, so we have to be able to start preparing the service, we ask that you please wait for a while.

So bascially, You can download it for free, it doesn't require online activation, and the serial numbers are provided to you for free, but you're totally not suppose to download it unless you bought CS2.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
