This not new news but I found alot of articles pointing to incorrect download links.
Adobe are switching off the product activation server for Photoshop CS2, legitimate users will be able to download this old version from Adobe with an AdobeID. However there are no checks for the original license, so looks like anyone can download it.
Windows Serial number: 1045-1412-5685-1654-6343-1431
Mac OS X Serial number: 1045-0410-5403-3188-5429-0639
download from – https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html?promoid=FR7NZB94&mv=other%20 (you need to be logged in)
Should this link fail then visit this Adobe article
