To auto activate this is what i did.

1. install photoshop normally

2. create folder on desktop (or where ever you want it to be)

3. copy contents of photoshop disc to this folder

4. replace the .msi as explained earlier in this thread

5. edit the .ini as explained earlier

6. go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product licenses\

7. copy b2b8600.dat to the root of folder you copied your disc to

8. create a batch file (install.bat) in the folder you created

COPY B2B86000.DAT "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product licenses"

"Adobe Photoshop CS2.msi /qn"

now if you add this to your unattended install reference the batch file instead of the .msi

i know this works on the same computer I'm not sure if it will work on multiple computers. (that would be a violation of the EULA anyway)

go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product licenses\

I have no Application Data folder

You need to show hidden folders

Tools>Folder Options>View>Show Hidden files
