I couldn't find the serial number at first either.
Then I found it later on the download page, to the right of the download links

Why black out the serial keys if they are public?

want sure if they were account bound

Do they have more then just photoshop maybe?

Yes they have all of their CS2 products, if you look at the downloads page
Illustrator, Premier Pro, etc

i mentioned the cd key and that i had blacked it out i thought it was just common sense that you would need to put in a product key as it is a licensed software as for the finale steps i dont really understand why it needs to be in the guide all your doing is installing the program an when it asks for your key you put it in. this was just a quick guide i put together for people that were pming me about it.

Also you can download the full cs2 creative suit using the same thing its just under download but people pming me only wnated photoshop XD
