Activation of CS3 on Windows 10 (CS3 is dead and gone)

Hello,

 

now, I had to update my computer (update from Windows 7 to 10) and thus reinstall CS3, which unfortunately does not work anymore due to the missing license server. Also the help by Adobe
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/temporary-activation-expired.html
no longer works, because the link to download an "updated" CS3 (however in German?) is no longer available. Does anyone have the new version, with which the procedure works?

 

Many thanks and greetings from Germany,
Humbi13

CS3 is completely dead and gone

 

The activation server was removed in 2017 and the special non-activation version was removed last month

You need to upgrade to Photoshop CC. The Photography Plan costs around $10 a month and includes Lightroom.
