Indesign CS3 not available in replacement installer download

Hi Community,

I really appreciate your help.

I bought some years ago the Adobe creative suite 3 master collection and installed it on my pc and activated it and everything was working correct even on windows 10.

Some days ago, I bought a new pc and installed it there and deinstalled it on my old pc.

After this I wanted to activate the whole software and this was not possible (known issue). Then I found this link on Adobe:

Activation or connection error when starting CS3 or Acrobat 8

Content behind this link: ... What are my options?

  • Receive a new serial number and installer  Get a new serial number and installer so you can reinstall CS3 or Acrobat 8 applications successfully. These special versions do not require activation....

I have done this and got a new serial number and installed the adobe creative suite 3 production premium. But Adobe InDesign CS3 is not in the installation list.

But I bought it with my CDs and I do not want to upgrade my products.

What can I do now to get the Indesign CS3 installed?

Thank you.

    Same place you found that one. Find the link to the master collection.

    That is production premium. InDesign is not included. You downloaded the wrong installer.

    Note that after you get the correct installer, the chances of running CS3 on Windows 10 are no better than 50/50.
