I am sorry CS 3 is not a part of CC subscription. CC license wont applies to CS 3 version .

Only CS 6 version is a part of CC subscription from Suite products category.

Hello thanks for the suggestion and help i tried that but the 30 day trial version expired after 3 days, bit wierd.

also it used to work fine without asking for the serial number and also a colleague of mine who does work for the same client that insists in using Indesign CS3 has had no problems with it will have to do it in 4 maybe and backsave it

in addition to using a cs4 trial, you can start another cs3 trial on another computer.

if you only need cs3 for a 'small' job, use the 30day trial to finish your job.

if you need longer than that, you'll need to purchase a cs3 license (which adobe no longer sells, but can be purchased from a 3rd party).
