Hi, I have few problems:

1)I would like to install P CS3 on macook pro, but there is no CD in laptop, but I have CS3 original on CD. How can I do this? Is there any chance to find original CS3 in Internet and then use my serial number to activate it?

2) More important problem is that I coudn't activate CS3 last time on Windows, where there was info "attention, no internet connection". I tried also to register this product in Creative Cloude, but there was info that this serial number is already registered, which is not true, because I didn't passed this CD to anyone, and there is not other computer working on this version. Can you help me somhow. To my needs, I do not need new Ps CC, CS3 is fine for simply logo and photos transformation...

Please help:)

Tom

      Activation servers for CS3 have been retired

      You'll need to contact Adobe

      More info

      Download Adobe Creative Suite 3 products

      As mentioned not sure that it will work on the latest version of MAC OS

      Hi

      Adobe CS3 works fine on Sierra however:

      Its a 32bit App so I fear that in Mac OS Mojave its going to fail as macOS Mojave released Sept 24th 2018 will only run 64bit Apps.

      I may try Boot camp and see if I can get the Windows Download files to run on Windows 10.

      Lets See.

      Such as shame as I want to upgrade and simply can't afford or justify paying £10 per month just for Photoshop. £120 per year is shocking really unless you use it for business. To be honest it should be free for education as the word 'Photoshop' may change one day to another software when like Quark it disappears into History.

      Time will tell.

      Cheers

      No, Mojave will continue to run 32 bit, but it will be the last to do so.

      64 bit - Does macOS Mojave (10.14) support 32 - bit Apps? - Ask Different

      Hi, YES!

      I found that out as well, yesterday. Hopefully with the new File format in the HARDDISK it will still run ok.

      fingers crossed  

      cheers

      As mentioned the old CS3 has to be traded for a new installer and serial number because activation is retired. If you had Photoshop CS3 for Windows, the serial number is for Windows and not Mac.

      Your points are completely irrelevant. CS3 will never even work on current versions of OS X.
