Software

Adobe release Creative Suite 2 for free

Adobe has made Creative Suite 2 available for free to anyone with an Adobe Account. Existing and new account holders are able to download the full suite including Acrobat, Audition, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere and Photoshop, all with serial numbers for Windows and OSX. Download from Adobe.com.

Update
Though this story is being widely reported, there's no press release yet from Adobe themselves. These install files and serials were originally released for existing owners of the CS2 suite to enable them to continue using the product after the license servers had been retired, but has created a loophole whereby anyone can download a copy. The legality of using this release commercially without an original CS2 license has yet to be verified by Adobe.
