Reactivating CS3

[terryl7316071]

I've downloaded the replacement for CS3 and at no time did it ask me to enter my new ser#.  And when I tried to launch this new Photoshop ONCE AGAIN it wanted me to "reactivate" which it wouldn't let me do.  So what do I do now???????

Hi Terryl7316071,

Sorry that you are having trouble activating your Adobe CS3 products.

Just to confirm have you tried the troubleshooting given in the following help document: Resolve "temporary activation expired" error for CS3 and Acrobat 8.​ If not then please give it a try and share the results with us.

Awaiting your response.

It appears I may have finally successfully installed the replacement Photoshop but now I can't open RAW files through Bridge.  I don't think I have Camera Raw now????????

This question is best suited for our experts at Adobe Camera Raw​ community, hence moving it there.
