My old PC has died along with CS3. I have to edit videos for my job. I like cs3 and work with Panasonic camcorders and mini dv tape. I have many unfinished projects which I am currently editing.

All I want is to be able to buy CS3 and put it on my new computer (Windows 7). My original disc was put on my computer at college so I don't have any serial/code numbers. Can anyone help?! I'm more than happy to buy it. I worry that my old projects may not open in CC, and besides I cannot afford £20 pcm.

    Adobe no longer sells even the much newer (but still 4+ year old) CS6

    You might find an individual who has CS3 for sale, but be VERY wary of fakes

    -you may NOT sell or transfer an Education serial number

    Plus, the original CS3 will not activate, so if you do find a valid CS3 to buy, you would have to do the below

    Hi,

    The real Problem is,

    CS5,5 had great tools

    I took also a one year abo,

    it didn t answer my expectations

    There were bugs, never coud work

    but also still had to pay a whole year of abo

    so I ask ADOBE, also to be kind and respectful, about ALL their customers
    thx
