Can I upgrade from CS3 Creative Suite Perpetual License to CS6 Perpetual License?

Correct answer John T Smith

CS6 has not been sold for about 6 years, so the answer is no

A 2012 MacBook Pro is going to be limited to running macOS Catalina, which Apple and Adobe have stopped supporting. CS3 is dead, as well. If you are going to get a current computer then you'll need the subscription to CC to make it work.

you can upgrade to cc all apps, but there's no discount for having a cs3 version. https://creative.adobe.com/plans

Sorry I can't justify the cost, since the creative I'm doing is speculative. Adobe really should take this into account.

    It seems my best option is to repair the USBs on my MacBook 2012 running CS3. From what I've glanced at on this support forum, I may run into problems getting my CS3 to run on another Intel MacBook due to transferring the license. Is that correct?


    if cs3 is working now on some computer, don't change any hardware on that computer.

     

    if you do  make a change (on that computer, or try to use a different computer) you will have to reactivate cs3 and that's impossible.
