ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS3 ISSUES

[dayann2496291]

I purchased adobe CS3 few years back and was using it all this while, but since a couple of days when I try to open photoshop CS3 I get a message saying  " Licensing for this product has stopped working ,you  cant use this product at this time, please uninstall and reinstall this product or call your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help". It would be really great if adobe support or anyone could troubleshoot this problem.

Thank you

If it's your original CS3, know that the activation servers were taken down. Uninstall CS3  and be sure if prompted, remove the serial number..

You will be given a new non-activation CS3 and serial number, but you must present your old CS3 serial as proof that you qualify for this free replacement. Go to the link below:

Activation or connection error when starting CS3 or Acrobat 8

Also I have misplaced my original set up DVD but I have the serial number and other details, what is the best solution for this?

Thanks for your reply.

If this is Windows, use the add/remove Programs in the Control Panel to uninstall.

Then use your serial number when you are asked, after you visit the link. If all goes well, you are offered a new serial number and installer.

I had a similar problem. I followed the link you listed below and after installation it is still requiring an activation and it won't work. Any suggestions?
