    Unfortunately, you are only allowed to download it if you own the licenses:

    They give licenses on that page I linked to which work supposedly?

    So they write that it's only available for people that own CS2. They are discontinuing the CS2 activation servers so Adobe provides a serial key on the download page.

    What's stopping people from just downloading it and using the serial keys provided by Adobe...?

    My downloads are going. So will see if it works when they are done.

    Most likely you can download it, but when you start it up it'll ask you for your serial. Damn, it actually completely makes sense for Adobe to give away CS2 for free.

    edit: oops, oh so they ARE releasing serial keys on the page? That's good of them :) Bravo :)

    All seems to be working fine for me, installed and working.

    There's plenty of discussion about it on polycount and CGTalk if anyone's serious about the legitimacy of it and doesn't mind reading through pages and pages of forum posts. -_-

    From the little I've read, it's not intended for just anyone. Except that where once it just required an AdobeID, they've now made the page open to anyone and everyone. Meanwhile, some employee(s?), not official staff, claim that it's only supposed to be available for those who have CS2 licences, whereas the community manager says they're just not going to chase up on anyone who didn't actually purchase CS2 who uses the new downloaded version; sort of implicit permission if you will. Which is a pity, because they could have turned this into such a positive marketing thing.
