>> Important compatibility note:
Due to the age of this software and modern system limitations, prospective buyers are responsible for researching and confirming compatibility with their specific hardware and operating system prior to bidding.

// Important Information – Please Read Carefully
> Adobe’s activation servers for CS2 are no longer online!
As such, this box is offered primarily for display purposes or license ownership
(e.g. for collectors or for users maintaining historical upgrade paths)

// Installation & Activation Note:
Buyers who wish to install and use CS2 may contact me after purchase.
Before Adobe shut down the activation servers, I received official information from Adobe, including access to a CS2 version with offline activation, available in multiple languages.
I am happy to share further information privately after the sale.

Please note:
All applications included in this box can be installed except Adobe GoLive, which is known not to function properly in this context.

// Contents & condition:
– Original Adobe Creative Suite Standard CS2 box including the install DVD's
– Factory-sealed manual included
– Box and contents in very nice condition

FYI: Please note that a small handwritten marking reading “JB” in marker pen is present on the side of the box, added by a previous owner. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect the contents or usability in any way.

// Collector & Display Value
Whether displayed on a shelf alongside classic Macs, used as a reference license, or paired with a PowerPC workstation running Mac OS X Tiger, this CS2 box represents a defining moment in creative software history — when Adobe’s tools became industry standards.

Please note that, in addition to being software, the original box also makes an attractive display item for collectors of classic Adobe or Macintosh-related memorabilia. A great opportunity to acquire an authentic, Dutch-language Adobe CS2 suite from the PowerPC era.
