How to install my CS3 on a new PC?

Hello

I got a new PC and my CS3 is connected to the old one.

How can I release the product codes so I can install it on the new PC?

Thank you for some instructions

    Hi

    Activation servers for CS3 have been shut down, you will need to follow this link

    Activation or connection error when starting CS3 or Acrobat 8

    And take a look at "What are my options" bit

    Hi Ged Traynor

    Thank you very much.

    I can see that will work for CS3

    Entering my code for Acrobat 9 pro that was a part of the CS i brings me to the download of Acrobat 8

    Is the Acrobat 9 code still valid?

    (I just see the disc with Acrobat 9 says: CS 3.3 with Acrobat 9 pro upgrade installer)

    Tried to find the right link to Acrobat 9 pro searching on the side you linked i your answer. But I can not find it

    May I ask you for that link s well?

    Reading in "What are my options?" tells me there is no activation required. Does that mean I can just install it without any activation because the programs are that old?

    Thanks again for using your time once more on my problems

    Not exactly. You still need to have a valid license to use the program. The valid license is not anymore checked at installation time, as the activation servers are down.

    ...and there is no garanee that the software will continue to work as designed. Be prepared that one day an update of the OS makes the program fail.
