Late Christmas from Adobe - Free Adobe Creative Suite CS2 Standard

[f700es]

Seems to be legit so no more excuses for not having at least the CS2 releases.

Seems that the Adobe site is down but the links are still active (from slickdeals.net)

Seems to be fixes and tricks for installing in 64-bit Win7 and Win8.

 

I'll kill the post if it is not legit.

I think Adobe goofed. According to this thread, they never intended to give away the software for free. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4974662

They might have but it's too late now to take it back

I installed Illustrator last night and it works just fine in Win7. It is a step up as I was using r10 still at home.

Even if they claim they goofed, the page is still up and running, including serials. If it was indeed a mistake, we all know how easy it is to kill a webpage to prevent further downloads.

It sure is and I do not see anything saying it is for existing owners only.

I just finished downloading all of it.

 

Even Autodesk feed gives link.

I wish all software companies would do this.

 

I just downloaded InDesign and Acrobat Pro.

I had to jump through a few hoops to get Acrobat Pro 8 to install on Win 7 x64, but it's up and running now. InDesign CS2 installed without a hitch.

This reminds me of the way my wife handles the left over hallowe'en candy when she is tired of answering the door after 8:00 pm. She leaves it on the porch under a post-it note that says "Please Share Nicely."o:)

 

Ya' know, I could use a legal free copy of full AutoCad. Come on AutoDesk get with the program here.
