Latest PostsGet Adobe Creative Suite 2 for free legally while you still can: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and more.
Most graphic designers see Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator as the de facto pinnacle of image editing and manipulation. After testing these products for a free trial period of 30 days, though, continuing to use the software costs several hundreds of dollars.
However, as of January 7, 2013, Adobe provides an unrestricted version of Creative Suite 2 - including Photoshop for free (Windows + Mac). Serial numbers that do not require activation, are given for each product on the Adobe download page. CS2 was released in 2005, but it still works without problems in XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. Downloads for Mac OS X are provided as well, but the outdated version of Photoshop won't run on Lion and Mountain Lion. Naturally, updating CS2 to the latest Creative Suite 6 won't work, and there is no support for the outdated version.
Why does Adobe do that?
Just recently, Adobe decided to shut down their activation servers for Creative Suite 2. As a result, users having purchased the product years ago, can no longer re-/install it with their own serial number. To solve the issue, Adobe now provides a version that does not require activation at all.
Possibly, Adobe will revoke their decision and take down the download soon; so you better head right over and get your free version of CS2. Although there is no official statement, yet, CS2 is probably not intended to be used for free. If in doubt, you may still use the software for 30 days. After this trial period, you should then delete it on your own ;-)
'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. [...]
You are only legally entitled to download and install with that serial number if you have a valid license to the product!'

Adobe Photoshop 30 Day Free Trial For Mac Os X
Updated:
Individual applications are available for Trial, but the ‘suite’ versions no longer exist.
Click the Banner above to get to the ‘Try’ download links.
Updated:
All versions of the Free CS6 Trial Downloads are now posted at Adobe.
Updated:
As of this writing, the Free Trial downloads are just beginning to appear on Adobe’s download areas. For example Photoshop CS6 Trial
Now that Adobe has officially launched CS6, what happened to the free trial downloads? The official Adobe CS6 Creative Suite 6 announcement means that pre- orders are being taken for Photoshop CS6, the Master Collection 6, etc.
Mcafee 30 Day Free Trial
If Adobe follows their previous practice from earlier versions, they won’t post the free trial versions for download until the paying customers have begun receiving their paid copies.
This makes sense if you think about it. People who order CS6 now would be left behind by those people downloading the freebie trials. So, everyone wanting to test the Creative Suite waters, before laying out the cash, will have to wait until the shipping versions reach customers.
30 Day Free Trial Virus Protection
Updated: It’s all shipping and available for purchase or download, including free trials.
Updated: People who have pre-ordered CS6 are reporting that their credit cards are showing an estimated date that the cards will be charged of May 7, 2012. …Shipping date…???
Additionally, Adobe used to stop previous versions of the trials from ‘confusing’ users. It probably means that CS5/CS5.5 versions won’t be available anymore.
Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Free Trial
As of this moment of writing, the CS5 CS5.5 versions are still available. This may change at any time.
