Hallo, nach meiner Information und Erfahrung kann Adobe Suite CS3 nicht mehr von CD/DVD installiert werden. Denn Adobe hat für die CS3 den Lizenzserver abgeschaltet. Die CS3 kann nur noch von einem BackUP (Time Machine etc.) übernommen und verwendet werden.

Unfortunately you don't have any change to install CS3 on an new computer. CS3 is dead.  Even if you have an installer and valid serial number, the aged out activation servers were retired years ago.  It's impossible to re-install CS3 now. 

If you have an update of newer CS versions (like CS4, CS5 or CS6) you still had the chanceof using it.  But unfortunately, that ship sailed long ago.
