Hello,

I've recently installed the non-activation version of CS3 and noticed that all apps weren't the latest version.

Photoshop 10.0 / should have been 10.01

Illutrator 13.0.0 /should have been 13.02

InDesign 5.0 / should have been 5.04

Acrobat/Distiller 8.0.0 / should have been 8.3.1

Bridge 2.0.0.975 / should have been 2.1.1.9

I think (?).

Does anyone know the reason for this?

Did you Update the applications after you installed them. All I had was Photoshop. I installed the new download then updated it.

@JJMack I tried updating, but only got this message from Adobe Updater: "There are no updates available at this time."

Does that mean I'm stuck with what I have, or will Adobe do what's right here?

And yet again, embarrassing. I guess I'm in the fast lane nowadays. Totally overlooked that.

Thank you for your patience. I will do the updates and report back.

Acrobat 8 downloads weren't cumulative, there is a long list. It switched to cumulative updates as of version 10 (X).

No, I didn't. Figured they had the sense to compile it to the latest version. I think that's the reasonable thing to do?

I will try this.

Thank you.

Why adobe does not support old software. They most likely only made the CS3 downloads available so they would not be leaving themselves open to a law suite for taking down the activation servers for CS3. Activation Servers that are need by Adobe installers that install version .0 of products these install are later updated. Products get updates the old updates are available.
