New Here ,
Nov 28, 2019 Nov 28, 2019

I bought a CS3Adobe Suite when new way back in 2007. I installed it via the disk on my Windows 10  laptop. Can I do any updates from the original? If so how do I go about it please?

IF any updates are available, you will need to do so from inside the program... since indepent links to download updates are no longer available

The CS3 activation and registration servers were taken offline quite a while ago.  You will need to do the following. 

  1. uninstall your old version,
  2. delete the old Adobe PCD folder from your hard drive,
  3. get a new installer and serial number that doesn't require activation.

Always install the Windows operating system on a clean hard drive first. 

Then install your  12 year old legacy software in compatibility mode. 

 

Failing that, get a Creative Cloud subscription that works with modern operating systems.

I think you need to get a new serial number first.
