    CS3 activation servers were taken offline.  You will need to obtain a new installer and serial number that does not require activation.  See correct answer below for details.

    If you're on a newer Mac, you'll have additional problems installing because CS3 is more than a decade old.

    New machines and old software often don't mix.  What are the specs for your new machine?
