To do this, simply go to the Adobe Illustrator product page and click “Start your free trial”. The impatient can also check out a Slickdeals page which has direct download links to all of the disk images and installers.If you’re interested in using Adobe Illustrator but hesitant to purchase the full version, you can try a free seven-day trial of the product first. Update: Adobe’s site is getting hammered by all the attention this is getting and is often down, check back and refresh their download page from time to time and you should get through ok.

Unfortunately that means OS X Lion and Mountain Lion users aren’t so lucky to get CS2 for free. Adobe is more specific is suggesting they only work for later versions of 10.2 to 10.4 but they will run in any version of OS X with Rosetta installed. Note this only works for older versions of Mac OS X that have Rosetta PPC support, meaning OS X 10.6.8 or earlier. Log into your Adobe account to get the serial number.Head over to the Adobe download page and grab Creative Suite 2 apps for free.Here is all you need to do to download the apps: Keep in mind that Adobe Creative Suite 2 (CS2) is dated from 2005, but if you have an older Mac (or Windows PC) that can support the old versions they’re actually very capable apps and for the most part aren’t too different from the gazillion dollar versions offered today. If you have an older Mac you’re in luck, because the entire Adobe Creative Suite 2 is available for free, including Acrobat, GoLive, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premier. Instead, you should probably just get the best PS alternative around, Pixelmator, or download Gimp for free which is pretty capable too. (Special serial numbers are provided on the page for each product download.) 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 have heard wrong! Adobe is absolutely not providing free copies of CS2!
