    I still have the discs for my licensed version fo CS 3 and it was working fine on my old computer.  Adobe made me uninstall it and provided me with the CS 3 Extended that doesn't require a license server.  Like I said before CS 3 Extended worked fine and still works fine on my old Windows 10 laptop.  We need some more help here from Adobe to solve our installation problem on our new laptops that also run Windows 10.

    Hi

    this is a peer to peer user forum so we cannot provide official Adobe info on policy. But CS3 is a long discontinued unsupported product. Sadly you'll need up to date Creative Suite software. Frustrating I know. 

     

    I hope this helps

    thanks

    Hi

    Have you tried resetting Photoshop preferenecs

    To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut: Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop

    We were given a special version by Adobe that does not require activation so that should not be an issue. CS3 is a perfectly good product for us so is not "dead" as you say. It does everything it needs to do.


    Yes, I agree.  I too was given a special version called CS 3 Extended that didn't require activation.  I have the same problem as described above.   CS 3 Extended applications work great on my old Windows 10 laptop, but reinstalling the software on my new windows laptop Photoshop will start but hang up and never fully start to where it can be used.
