cannot activate my CS3 online

[charliek28717226]

hi

i have an old design premum CS 3 CD and i installed it on my window 8 PC.

it worked fine for 30 days, but every time i tried to activate it i get a connection error message- but my connection is fine!

the error says: Activation- No connection

can you please assist me with this? i ended up my 30 days of mercy already.

CS3 is a very old software and the activation servers for it are closed down. So you will have to contact the customer care to get a new serial number and also an installer that would not use the servers for activation.

Also have a look at the following link and see if it works, if not contact the customer care
