Adobe Creative Suite CS2 now freely available!

Hello, fellow members of the CSTSF. I am here to discuss the recent(?) release of the entire Creative Suite 2 bundle.

If you don't believe me, look here.

What does this mean, you might ask?
Well, every app that came with Adobe CS2 is, as you might expect, free. As in, it's perfectly legal and authorized by Adobe.

This is important for anyone who doesn't have any art programs or the like and don't want to pirate them.

The only thing is that these are from 2005 or somewhere around there, and their UIs are kind of different from their modern selves, but they still have most of the features that the modern ones have and, well, they're free!

So if you're looking for anything artsy and free, look here!

 

> not using FireAlpaca

 

man firealpaca is good for those who know how to actually use it
me, I'm just really clueless with it and use SAI

 

From CNET:
"Adobe has not officially released the CS2 software for free. Instead, it has canceled its CS2 license management servers because of a technical glitch, so for those with existing licenses it is now offering downloads that do not require contact with the licensing servers. While Adobe admits this may be seen as it giving its software away for free, this service is intended for those with existing Adobe CS2 licenses."

From Adobe:
"These products were released more than seven years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported...Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software."

 

oh
it looks like I did not read everything about it
but still technically it's free I guess

 

I'll probably still torrent them >=D
