Can InDesign CS3 work on Mac OS Version 10.13.6 now?

 

In last year, I stalled the new OS platform to High Sierra, then In Design CS3 was not working.  But my other CS3 Photoshop and CS3 Illustrator are working as normal.  Does anyone know how to make CS3 Indesign working again on this Mac platform now?

Things have changed dramatically.

 

My first thought was:

Because the Adobe CS3 licensing servers are down, I cannot see that CS3 is working at all after it was installed from DVD recently. Perhaps for a 30days trial period. But beyond? I doubt it will work.

 

But then I saw this for Mac OS X:

And that for Windows:

Finally this for both:

Adobe Licensing Repair Tool ( for version up to CS 5.5 )

InDesign CS3 to CS5 are not compatible with newer OS, you need to upgrade to InDesign CC.

(Or get a computer with an older OS for using with this 13-year-old version of InDesign.)
