Photoshop CS3 Register Now/Later Screen not loading

Mac OSX 10.7.5

I have been using the CS3 products (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) every day for many years at work.

Working fine yesterday.

Try to use them today, the register now/later screen won't load properly (blank screen) so I can't select either option and can't use the apps. We usually "register later" without issue whenever it appears.

Any suggestions on what's causing the issue? Console logs aren't useful.

Cheers.

    Hit the same thing, I found a work around.

    1. Disconnect your internet.

    2. Start CS3

    3. You'll get an error screen, click "never register."

    Hope it works for you.

    BRILLIANT, worked, thank you so much. Why on earth is this happening now?!? Is it a ploy for Adobe to get us all to buy new versions?

    OMG! My CS3 Creative Suite IS WORKING! I didn't even have to disconnect from the Internet. I just clicked on Indesign program and Registration box opened up. I just clicked Never Register. Up popped Indesign in perfect condition! Thank you!!

    I'm experiencing this same issue! I've even uninstalled and then reinstalled the software to see if it would help, but no. And after 45 minutes of waiting on the phone for customer service, I was told that my version of PS (CS3) was no longer supported, so I could check the forums.

    Originally, I bought the design suite while under a student license in 2006.

    This is the second computer I've used the suite on (the laptop died), and, like you, I've been hitting the "register later" button for a while on this computer.

    Maybe it will clear up as quickly as it happened.... Probably not.

    I'm having the same exact problem as you both - have you figured out a work-around yet?
