I purchased the master suite a few years back and paid one heck of a lot of money. Adobe downloaded the master suite for me today and I found a few programs like Dreamweaver simply won't open. I did some research and restarted my computer a couple of times and now Dreamweaver seems to open and I'll know soon how well it's working. Thanks again.

For the benefit of people finding this in web searches, Creative Suite 3 came out in 2007. Product support ended about 18 months later when CS4 released. Adobe doesn't support old software forever. Nobody does. If you wish to keep using older software, hold on to an older operating system to support it. CS3 is not certified to run on the latest and greatest OSs. Windows supports backwards compatibility better than Mac. But use at your own risk.
CS3's aging activation servers had to be retired and were taken offline. If you have a CS3 serial number, you can obtain a replacement installer and new serial number that does not require activation. For details, see link below.
