Adobe distributes Creative Suite 2 for free (or doesn't it?)
Read UPD7, Adobe posted an official response on its blog.
Share unprecedented generosity from Adobe. They decided to distribute, though outdated, but still full Creative Suite of the second version. Versions are available for both Mac (PowerPC) and Windows.

Hurry up, the number is most likely limited. You can get it here . Registration is required.
You can download it here.
UPD: The site came down, the keys are the same for everyone. Under the cut keys and links to the software. As well as a message from one of the developers, saying that these keys and installers can be used only by those who already have a purchased license for CS2.

UPD2: Comment with all serials and links here (from novoselov )
UPD3: Post on the Adobe forum about why they posted these keys (found yul and DenimTornado )
The answer on what conditions are available these products has not yet followed.
UPD4: Perhaps this step by Adobe is not a free distribution of CS2 and is only a mistake of Gizmodo and other media. As many noticed, the keys were laid out with the words "We turn off the activation server for these products and so that you do not have problems with activating your license, we made a special version that does not require activation through the server." Let's wait for the official response from Adobe. Perhaps you should refrain from using the keys received.
UPD5:
One of the developers in his comment in another thread on the forum says that CS2 is not distributed for free. This version of CS2 and keys to it can be used only by those who already have a purchased license for CS2.

I’ve been able to post it here.

UPD7:
The official response from Adobe is something like this:
“Due to a technical failure, the server activations CS2 and Acrobat 7 were disabled. These products came out more than 7 years ago and do not work on most modern operating systems. So that our customers can use these products if necessary, we have released a universal activation key for them. Although it may look like a CS2 distribution to everyone, we did it to help our customers. ”

Still not clear is Adobe’s position on this. As for me, they said something like the following: “Well, use it once downloaded, but we cannot do anything about it already.”
