    I believe they are speaking figuratively... There is no upgrade path from CS3 to Creative Cloud (CC), you simply just sign up for CC and get yourself a subscription.  You can follow the links in that linked page to sign up, or you can try the links below to get started.  I strongly suggest you go the trial route before purchasing anything.  CC requires newer operating systems... if your system still supported CS3 then I would hazard a guess that it is too old for CC.

    I think you misunderstood.  The Activation Servers for CS3 were recently taken offline for technical reasons.  That means you cannot continue to use your old CS3 products.  You must obtain a replacement installer and serial number that does not require activation.    See the correct answer below for details.

    Re-activating CS3 (Updated)
