Photoshop CS version 8.0

[chantelng]

Hi. I just bought a new computer and am trying to load my photoshop but it won't take my activation code. Customer support says they no longer support my version, but that forums can help. Please help me. I am so tired of not getting answers.

Adobe took down old Activation servers CS, CS2  and CS3 old installation media can not longer be activated.  Adobe made new download install for CS2 and CS3 users the do nor require activation.  I believe CS users are able to download the CS2 version.   These are very old version  of Photoshop and are 32bit implementations and can not take advantage of all your 64bit  OS resources.  I would thing  A new Photoshop Elements would be better than CS2.  I uninstalled CS2 on my Windows 10 system.  It was not working all the well.  Windows 7 may be better for CS2.

Download Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 2 products

I have Windows 10 also. But was hoping not to have to buy anything new. Does Elements have everything that CS had? Will I have to learn everything new?

No You can download CS2 It has all CS had. It Still a 32 Bit version of Photoshop and may have some problems on Windows 10.
