Adobe CS2 Suite for Free, Sort of

No joke, no gimmicks... Astounding.

http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html

Seems they screwed up and are letting it go . This is software from around 2005 and current versions are about $700...

Adobe CS2 is available for free -- kind of, maybe, not really, but absolutely

First, Adobe’s Dov Isaacs posted a forum message saying that the company was "absolutely not providing free copies of CS2!" Apparently the CS2 activation servers are being terminated, and these builds and serial numbers are intended for existing licence holders to use as an alternative.

The company didn’t take the CS2 page down, though, or add a warning or explanatory message, or do anything else to keep people away.

In fact, Adobe has done the opposite. Initially you needed to log in via your Adobe account to view the download page; now it's freely accessible to everyone. It looks like the company have accepted that there’s no putting the cat back in the bag, and whatever the original intention, CS2 is now available for free.



Oooops, someone is getting fired. LOL

No idea Rigar but I'd imagine it was about 10 days to 2 weeks based on the date of the story.
