Replacement CS3 Installer

[OldGit]

Hi

I need to re-activate my CS3 software, but have discovered this is no longer possible online or over the phone.

I have discovered how to download the replacement installer and get a new serial number.

The problem is it does not download. I have installed the Akamai software and it pops up for a split second to download, then just this screen:

Why should we need to reactivate the software when you know we own it and it has been working fine.

I do not need to update to the newest version, as this is more than sufficient for my needs.

I hope someone can help.

OK, fine.... but where I find polish version?

because eastern european versions were probably purchased via third party vendors, you'll need to contact that vendor.  if that's not true:

if you purchased from and registered with adobe, check https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/kb/downloaded-older-app.html  for info on how to download non-current adobe programs.

once you download, if you're having trouble finding your file(s), https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-downloaded-file-app.html

if that fails AND you've (a) registered your software with adobe or (b) can provide proof of purchase, using a browser that allows popups and cookies, contact adobe support during pst business hours by clicking here and, when available, click 'chat', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Unfortunately, still no solution.

Adobe successfully blocked the possibility of my work. Unfortunately, I can not use new versions of programs, because the plugins I use in my company do not have new versions. The company is standing at the moment. Nobody will pay me for the loss. "Thank you" Adobe! For news — my computer has not changed. You just turned off the ability to run this program. And I honestly paid for him.

It was not in the contract.

10.12 is not compatible with cs3.

It worked when I had the old CS3 from discs and serial number, but I couldn't activate it.  I got a new serial number, cleared everything, but the installation won't work even though it did from the discs.

All good now.  I found that though I had wiped all the old CS3 there was one in the GO menu when you click on computer.  I deleted that and voila, it downloaded okay on the Sierra Mac.

I then put the replacement serial  no in and it was accepted and clicked never register, and its all working fine now.

Thanks

Is this option still available in 2022? I doubt it, but I would welcome any "Hhail Mary" for my old CS3 if I could find one.

CS3 is dead

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
