Hi,
I need to re-install CS3 on my Mac, and I have the discs and the serial, but I'm on a new Mac without a CD drive, so I need to download the software, but the download link at the link below are dead. PLEASE ASSIST!!

The links work fine for me.
Which suite? Which link is not working for you?

I'm trying to download CS3 Web Premium for Mac. Trying to download Part 1 and 2 take me to a page that says:
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp

This worked for me:
1) Goto the link to download your product. COPY the link to a text program somewhere. For example, for Photoshop CS3:http://esd.adobe.com/Applications/Photoshop/CS3/Mac/ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.dmg.
2) Now click the link, in an attempt to download.
3) When you get the error message, paste the link you copied into the URL but DON'T hit enter or navigate to it yet.
4) Change the link to the Trials2 url. For example: http://trials2.adobe.com/dlm/Applications/Photoshop/Mac/ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.dmg
You are essentially changing the "esd" to "trials2" and adding "/dlm" before "Applications". This worked for me!
I could not go to the link directly, and if I paused the download and restarted, it said I didn't have permission. It appears to have to goto the error message screen FIRST, then paste in the modified download link and you should be good to go!
Incidentally, this file appears to be the same file linked to from:

An alternative solution: the download fails using Safari, but works fine with Chrome (and maybe other browsers too).
