Uh oh
I think I am asking a lot here:
I am running a legal copy of CS2
but I do not have the disc anymore.
I need to reinstall Windows XP and wipe EVERYTHING off of my HD.
Is there any way- including with Adobe's help-
that I can recover my license key and
/or authentication code, and find the install files on my current set up ....so that i can copy and save these to external disc before I wipe the HD ????
I am going to try and reinstall without disc.

Hello, I would definitely contact Adobe regarding this matter.

yeah, you need to contact Adobe, and "deactivate" your version of PS (which should appear in Adobes' database as being ready to be activated again). but i would DEFINITELY contact Adobe first and explain your predicament .
hope it helps

Are you a student? If so, you should be able to pick a copy up quite cheaply.

If you run Belarc Advisor (a free utility) it will tell your CS2 serial number. Funny, I have both CS2 & CS4 on my laptop, but it didn't list the license key for CS4.
