Installing Photoshop CS2
To perform a standard program install, insert the Photoshop CS2 CD into the CD or DVD player on your computer, and follow the onscreen instructions. Make sure to have your serial number handy because you'll be asked to enter it during the installation process. If you're updating from a previous version of Photoshop, you'll be required to verify the older version by instructing Photoshop where on your hard drive the old version exists, or by inserting the previous version's install disk. Adobe, in an attempt to thwart software piracy, now requires online or phone activation of the program. The process can be postponed for 30 days. However, at the end of 30 days, the Photoshop program will shut down if it has not been properly activated. You can't blame Adobe for attempting to protect their products, since some surveys suggest there are more pirated versions of Photoshop than those purchased.
