Better than NOTHING
-------------------------------------------
Yesterday Forbes ( and many others ) ran a web page
stating that Adobe was giving away it's entire CS2 range of products.
On
Dec 13th Adobe retired it's authentication server for CS2 products. In an effort
to allow people to continue to be able to install those outdated products they
placed them on a web page with serial numbers.
This led Forbes and many
web sites / groups across the Internet(world) to download, share, etc all those
files.
Adobe officials on the Adobe forums indicated it was no big deal,
that the programs are old and probably won't run on most modern systems
anyway.
By mid day the Adobe web page was unavailable for unknown
reasons. By that time there were many substitute links. By the afternoon Adobe
issued a message stating that the files were not free, that they were intended
for registered Adobe users for those products and that one needed to log in with
their account.
Now today Adobe has reinstated the web page, no login
required, all of CS2 available and all serial numbers posted.
So if you use use Adobe products and feel you need a guaranteed backup for any CS2
product, they have them available.
I'm not exactly sure what they are
doing, nor am I sure they do either. At any rate if you go to Adobe main page
and type "CS2 download" in the search box. The first link will take you to this
page.
