I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and now my CS3 programs require re-activation. The on-line and phone activations no longer work. And none of the solutions on the community website seem to work as the links to necessary download files are broken.
Adobe Case Number ADB-10974618-J8Y4
The programs are working fine and are sufficient for my current needs. I do not want to upgrade to something newer.
It has been 13 years since CS3 came out. The aging activation servers went offline years ago. For a while, Adobe had a replacement program with new installers & serial numbers that did not require activation. If you didn't obtain one when you had the chance, there is no way to obtain one now as that program has been discontinued. Customer Care agents cannot help you. Their hands are tied. Your only options now are to get modern software or a paid Creative Cloud plan. Your choice.
Photoshop Elements (approx $100, no subscription needed)

=============
Beware of fake Adobe reps offering to sell you Creative Suite 6. It's a scam. All sales & supplies of Creative Suite ended 3 years ago. CS can not be legally sold by any vendor, retailer or country now.
