Activating Photoshop CS6

Hello!

Another very quick tip to start off the week for those, who like me, prefer normal, standalone versions of their software instead of wonderful monthly membership fee like Adobe’s new CC (Creative Cloud)…

I was installing Photoshop CS6 last night and I kept entering the darn license key, but it wouldn’t activate… Until I restarted the application. Only then did Photoshop communicate with Adobe’s licensing servers. lol

Steps

Enter license > close Photoshop > re-open it again > Joy!

Finally, in case someone has other rleated issues, I’ve added a link to Adobe’s help page on its activation process.

Enjoy!

Sirus

Adobe CS2 Suite – Download available for old users

You may (or not) have heard the news, but I think it deserves some attention: it is now possible to download the whole Adobe Creative Suite 2 from Adobe.com.

Note that it is meant for “customers who legitimately purchased CS2“.

Hey Adobe, What about fair use? What about letting people learn it for non-commercial use and zero publication/sharing? Why d’you think so many students crack their software? And guess what they legitimately use on their everyday job after graduating? The very same products their cracked back then…

Anywho, here’s the direct link to the download page:

As you may have noticed from the system requirements specifications, Adobe CS2 is old stuff. It’s outdated and unsupported; it was released in April 2005!
