Old Photoshop CS 2003 Activation

[mikel88495737]

I'm trying to teach my children Photoshop CS using an old version that I paid for and am no longer using. I successfully installed it; however, I can't activate it. Its activation server is no longer recognized and the listed phone numbers are no longer valid. Earlier today I contacted Divakar via adobe's support chat who said that I needed to contact the forum for someone to help me.

So can someone here help me before I completely give up on Adobe?

You MUST use the special version and serial number on the page, not your original disc or serial number
