My hard rive crashed, and I reinstalled CS3. Nothing was registered because the computers for that are long gone. I KNOW that there is another common version one could get if this hapopens. I got my serial number, but where can I download that CS3 version?

Unfortunately Adobe has completely killed off CS3.

 

All installers have been removed and no serial numbers work any more. No downloads are available and the activation servers have been switched off.

 

Adobe now only supports CS4-CS6 and current Cloud versions.

Customer Care is not allowed to help Creative Suite 4-6 users anymore except with de-activating an old installation.  Beyond that, their hands are tied. 

 

If you want ongoing support now, you must buy a Creative Cloud plan.
