So isses, legal ist es nur wen mans gekauft hat.
Adobe verschenke keine Software, macht das Unternehmen deutlich. Die Creative Suite 2 sei nur deshalb samt Seriennummern online gestellt worden, um den eigenen Kunden zu helfen. Denn Adobe hat am 13. Dezember 2012 die Aktivierung der Creative Suite 2, ihrer Einzelapplikationen und Acrobat 7 wegen technischer Probleme eingestellt. Damit Kunden, die die Software verwenden, sie auch weiterhin nutzen können, habe man die Seriennummern veröffentlicht, teilt Adobe in einem Forumskommentar mit. Die URL, unter der die Software gestern abrufbar war, ist allerdings wieder aktiviert, die Software kann wieder heruntergeladen werden

You have heard wrong! Adobe is absolutely not providing free copies of CS2!
What is true is that Adobe is terminating the activation servers for CS2 and that for existing licensed users of CS2 who need to reinstall their software, copies of CS2 that don't require activation but do require valid serial numbers are available. (Special serial numbers are provided on the page for each product download.) See <http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1114930>.
You are only legally entitled to download and install with that serial number if you have a valid license to the product!
Effective December 13, Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch. These products were released over 7 years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems. But to ensure that any customers activating those old versions can continue to use their software, we issued a serial number directly to those customers. While this might be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, we did it to help our customers.
