Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue. These products were released more than seven years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported.
Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. The serial numbers below should only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products.

But it still took them this long to put that notice there (I'd checked the page yesterday or the day before, no notice; today, notice)?

It's not that they don't care about piracy, it's that they realize that the vast majority of people who pirate the software would never, ever buy the software. However the people who have a ligitimate need for Adobe Software? Unless they are freakin' stupid, they will buy the software out of fear that Adobe will sue the bejebus out of them. I'm an indie filmmaker, I'm filming a shoot out between police and a suspect in an ER for a film in two weeks. Wanna know what could happen if my copy of Adobe CS6 was't ligit? Adobe could sue me for royalties or worse.
But people captioning photos of cats or screwing around making little music videos for YouTube? They'd NEVER buy this stuff and if maybe one day their usage of that software lead to them having a professional need for it, now they've been sold on how great the software is and they'll be whipping out their credit cards.
