installing a copy of CS3 on a new computer - without CD copy?

[jennaLS4]

Hello,

Just purchases a new 2012 iMac - however two troubles i do not have the original CS3 copy of the CD (due to house fire) also the iMac does not come with a cd/dvd drive. I am wanting to install Design Standards CS3 on my new iMac.

I am also interested in updating to CS6 - read about the offer that expires before dec 31, 2012.

I am excited to start designing on my new computer and would love some support on how to download CS3 / maybe update to CS6.

I have installed one copy of this product on my laptop before.

Please let me know,

Thank you

Jenna

Hi Jenna,

    You can download the trial versions from this below URL and use your serial number to activate it..

http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html

Read the instructions before starting the download.

However, I'm afraid if CS3 is compatible on your new iMac. Adobe has not tested CS3 on New iMac. If it doesn't you can upgrade to CS6 within 31st of December, 2012.

Regards,

Jairaj

You will see that screen if you have clicked the download link without first following the Very Important Instructions (steps 0 to 6) listed further up the page on that link.

You must follow those steps first then click the download links. Then the download links work OK.

Upgrade prices are all listed on the Adobe website, depending on which suite you want

http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/designstandard/buying-guide-upgrades.html

Note however that CS3 customers only have until Dec 31, 2012 to upgrade to CS6. After that you must pay full price.
