CS 3 activation without server connection - no activation server any more available

[Olivier5FD2]

Hi there, is there any possibility to make CS3 run on a other way?
I just switched to a new notebook an I cannot activate CS3.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your help

As far as I know, there isn't. CS3 is dead, and can no longer be activated.

Hi thank you, but it was still working until a few days ago ...

The activation servers were shut down and a non-activation copy with a new serial number was offered, but that offer expired. You'll have to go with Photoshop Elements or the Photography Plan.

So many photoshop features you don't use.  These days you name be able to find a free image editor the is better the Photoshop version 5 that has an old interface does not have vector  other then text which I believe was added in version 5. There no not raw or script support.  Version 5 is from the 20th Century.

Sorry, I meant PS 7 😉  It's just for privat stuff.

Professionally I use a recent Adobe Plan.

Thx
