Hi Leon,
From experience CS2 -> CS4 only works with Windows 7 or 10 - it won't run on Win11!
They will work with under VMWare on a virtual machine running Win10 - tried that myself - VMWare 17 Player is free to download and set up - and it takes about an hour to create a new VM machine running Win 10 from experience.
On Win 10 if the activation servers are giving you hassles - for not existing - then bypass them!
Edit your windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file and add in the following lines to loop the activation servers back to a null address (your C: drive or 127.0.0.1)
add the following lines to the top of your hosts files (which maps internet drives to your PC):
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com
Then reboot to refresh and reload your host file and Windows will pick up these mappings.
Finally add your 24 digit registeration code and this should bypass activation against a non existent activation server.
