Installing CS3

[RobIllus]

I have a physical copy of CS3 with serial# from disks/box. I want to install on High Sierra. I have internet connection with no active firewall.  but I am unable to reach anyone for activation verification. I just want to talk to someone to resolve the issue!!

Don't bother... CS3 is a dead product

NOTE - The CS2-CS3-CS4 activation servers have been removed from service
-https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite.html?promoid=19SCDRQK
-So even if you have a disc or saved download, CS2-CS3-CS4 are completely dead
-Adobe also no longer supplies the special non-activation version of CS2-CS3-CS4

you can use cs3 on any computer for 30 days.  that's it.
