I am trying to reinstall a version of Photoshop 7 that I purchased back in 2003.

Hi,

The registration screen is not accepting my serial number.
I cannot afford a newer version of Photoshop (I have Indesign and Illustrator as well) and do not want to subscribe to the creative cloud. I had an online chat with a representative and he said that he could not help me, nor could I call for help. I had to rely on the Adobe forums......

In ALL honesty, if I cannot reinstall programs which I bought a long time ago, it's SUPER easy for me to just get a pirated copy. I do not want to do this but I also think it's ridiculous that I cannot reinstall my programs just because they are dated.

you can try ps cs2, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.html

but if you have a mac, that may not work.

Anything that precedes CS3 is no longer supported with an activations server.  See the following for an alternative...  Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3

Hi, Thank you for your replies.

Turns out that Adobe can help me via a phone call. They wrote me and I will be in touch with them tomorrow. So this worked out well.

Thanks again!
