For me CS6 apps are harder to pick up. Have let up on studies at CS3 5 years ago. and gennerally being away from Adobe.

What other of these Apps would be good to download? What is Acrobat Pro 8? I would download just what you need, for your business or personal use. CS2 will only run on G4 and G5's not sure of the upper limit of the Mac OS. In my case, as a retro printing and graphics arts business, the choices were easy. Upgrade from InDesing CS, Photoshop 9, Illustrator 10 and Acrobat 7 Pro. I'm still using G4's and OS 10.4.11. And thought I'd try GoLive CS2 since I haven't done any web coding in many years so that one was just to learn something new. As in most Adobe CS2 pieces the the learning curve is steep. Fortunately you can find many helpful CS2 books at Amazon for a few dollars new books and a few cents for used plus a $4 shipping for each one. I ordered four books published by Peacepit Press for my new upgrades for about $30 including shipping. Official Abode training books are also available for about the same price. Acorbat 8, as stated earlier, allows you to do some limited editing of PDF files if you have the same fonts in your system. It will also allow you export a PDF to other formats --like Word, which may be easier to edit. It also allows you to create PDF forms with writable fields and PDF files from other program. Of course OS X also can save a file to PDF. Acrobat 8 is a big deal for me since I get so many PDF's from customers that need a lot of help to get printed properly. The Adobe downloads are not a big deal for most folks but they are a very good deal for me after spending many hundred's (1,000's?) of dollars for Adobe software during the last 25 years or so. --glen -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

-- Original message -- Subject: Re: Shhh!! CS 2 Date:Wednesday, 09. January 2013 From:Dan dantear...@gmail.com To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com According to Forbes and other sources: Adobe has shut down the activation servers, but they're NOT giving anything away for free. The packages provided for download now require a registration key, instead of reaching for the server. Said key is ONLY available to *existing* CS2 customers. True. Adobe: /While this might be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, we did it to help our customers./ So, they did it due to their existing CS2 customers. But that is only the cause for the provided download page. Now that it is available, and without restrictions (not even a Adobe ID is required), and that it is comming from Adobe itself, the result is that it is a free giveaway. The truth is that they cannot take it back. It’s out there now. People are using it. It’s not what was intended, but it’s what happend. And even Adobe has to accept that. In fact, they did accept it! Before it was spread on varioud blogs and news sites, the restriction was that you had to have and login with an Adobe ID. After it went out of control and everybody started to download CS2, the site was temporary unavailable, I guess due to overstessing the servers. But when they had it sorted out and put it back, the need for an Adobe ID was removed. Everybody can download it now. So what is it then? It is free for download. It has to be said thou that restrictions apply: 1) No support. 2) Not upgradeable. 3) It is not explicitly provided as free by Adobe, even thou that is the result.

Well, just went to: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html To see what else was on the page, and it redirects to the main Creative Suite page, touting CS6. Maybe they ARE doing a silent take back. If you are smart or devious enough to find the released version of CS 2 on the net, you probably can find a newer version also. If you aren't, no harm, no foul, you can still buy the current version.

The general consensus around the net is that since Adobe was shutting down the activation servers for CS2, this was SUPPOSED to be given out to current CS2 customers so they could still use their software. Once this was out in the wild, people guess that Adobe will just leave this out there and use the drug dealer model. The first one is free... Anyway, this is 7 year old software that won't run on newer Macs, so they really have almost nothing to lose.
