Hi Support,

My photoshop CS3 was installed a few years ago. I don't have the serial number. How to deactivate my current CS3 installed on my old notebook and install on my new notebook. I can see the old serial number but it's less 4 digit numbers. I don't have adobe ID with the product information. Please advise.

    Adobe has shut down the activation servers for all CS3 version. Customers that have buyed a license of a CS3 product can get a specail serial number and a installation package to install and run their CS3 software.

    Hi Axel,

    I managed to find the Serial Number. But, when I run PS3 it ask to register. I click to register but I understand the registration server is already down. I believe the program will stop working after 30 days. Please advise. Thanks.

    Hi Axel,

    Thanks for your reply. I have two accounts (Email Address removed by Moderator) (Please don't post personal info on the forum) but none of the account have the serial number for CS3.

    I have the serial number 1045 1154 0318 0982 1892 xxxx (incomplete) on an existing notebook. I need to transfer this software into a another notebook. Please advise your email address so that I can communicate with you faster. Many thanks.
