Photoshop CS2 versions and installation

I'm about to purchase a legitimate Photoshop CS2 from an online seller,
and want to have a couple of questions clarified first. How many
different versions of CS2 are available in the US, and how are they
identified? With CS already installed on my PC, is it possible to
install CS2 without uninstalling CS? IOW, is it possible to run CS and
CS2 side by side? Thanks.

Since your version question seems to apply just to Photoshop and not the
whole CS suite I believe the answer to your question would be that there are
two - the the full version (for those not upgrading from a previous version)
and the upgrade version. The upgrade version has everything that the 'full'
version does, the only difference is that it expects you to have a
registered previous version.
The default install routine for CS2 is to install in a folder with CS2 in
the name so as to leave existing installations alone. So, yes, you can
install CS2 and continue to run it with CS side by side.

Adobe CS is available in "standard" and "professional" versions (the
difference being that the standard version does not include all the
components, such as Adobe Acrobat Professional), and with "upgrade" and
"full install" licenses. Cross-platform upgrade licenses are also
available, though only directly from Adobe.

CS2 Standard Upgrade, CS2 Standard Full, CS2 Professional Upgrade, and
CS2 Professional Full.

Yes. Installing CS2 will not disturb or in any way affect your existing
CS installation.
