Adobe CS3 Design Standard for Mac - lost disks

Hi!
Situation: I'm buying a new mac, and do not want to use Migration Assistant to transfer my software (mainly as I'd like to do a clean install and not migrate a load of junk that may be on my older mac).
I have lost my cs3 install disks. I'm a registered and licensed cs3 design standard user.
I've looked at the forums and contacted Adobe.
No replacement disks can be sent for legacy software, so Adobe cannot help.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I dud see one post where a forum member offered assistance, but what the assistance/solution was I'm not sure as the discussion was closed/taken offsite.
Someone had suggested downloading cs3 from a torrent site, but I'm not at all keen on doing that.
Any suggestions or advice much appreciated, and yes, I'll take better care of my install disks in the future :o))).
(In my defence, lame as it is, when I bought cs3, I did see they offered replacement disks for a fee. I didn't realise this was only for current software).
Regards,
Venkat

CS3 is too old to run on a new Macintosh laptop, sorry. You'll have to purchase CS6 or a Creative Cloud subscription.

  • Where to purchase Adobe CS6 Design Standard for mac? (in the UK).

    I'm looking to purchase Adobe CS6 Design Standard for mac for the company I work for (I'm in the IT department).
    All the other marketing staff run this version.
    I need another copy but it seems it's all been replaced with Creative Cloud.
    The finance director is not happy to be paying yearly for this, wants a one off payment for boxed/download version of CS6, so everyone's on the same version.
    I've Googled but don't trust any of the online shops I'm finding (could be dodgy copies of the software, might not turn up, etc).
    Adobe seem to still sell some CS6 products but only in other countries? (we're in the UK).
    Thanks for reading.

    Here you go. The UK price page from the Adobe Store:

    Hi, I am working with CS6 Design Standard for Mac, I bought from Adobe a DVD with the Software. I installed it already on my mac book. Soon I wanna buy a second computer for my work. When I bought the software I was told that it is possible to install the software on a second computer. But I also read lately that I will only be allowed to work with one computer. I want to work on both of my computers without de/installing and de/activating the software every time. Is this possible? Thank you!!

    You should be able to install the products on two computers as long as they are not running at same. Also the platform should be MAC.
    You may download the product from

  • Can i get a new serial number for Adobe CS6 Design Standard for Students and Teachers?

    I have had to re-install my Adobe CS6 Design Standard for students and teachers after having problems with my computer (MacBook Pro)
    I am wondering if there is a way to access my old serial number from when I originally installed CS6, or do I have to start over again and get a new serial number?
    Help is greatly appreciated!!

    You normally use the same serial number that you are first issued.  If you registered your product when you first installed it then you should be able to find your setial number available thru your Adobe account online.

    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • Medias for Adobe CS3 Design Standard/Premium (Windows) Volume License

    Hello,
    We have volume licenses for CS3 Design Standard /Design Premium but no media kit for Windows, unfortunately. All attempts at finding this or buying it have failed. I've spoken direct to Adobe and the official solution is to upgrade to CS6 or Adobe CC! Which really isn't helpful. I've tried upgrading from the trial version of Design Std but that doesn't work.
    Thanks

    I'm a bit confused...I saw your note above about not working with volume license keys, but I disregarded it out of optimism because it doesn't match my experience.
    For our volume licenses, we get our our downloads via ESD (since CS3), and I was under the strong impression they were the same as the trial media (I believe the filenames and download URLs are actually the same?), but I guess I have not verified.
    I wonder if the more likely case is that your volume license code is invalid or has a typo or something? On the other hand, you guys seem to have two data points (Martin and James) to my one marginal one ("strong impression"), so there's that. And I guess my experience with this is Macintosh based but it should not be platform-specific.
    Still.
    I guess another possibility is to make sure that you're downloading the Design Standard installer instead of the installer for the individual products or perhaps the wrong suite package? I dunno.
    I remain skeptical, but I realize there's not a lot of data to back up my skepticism.

  • Trying to Serialize Trial version of Adobe Cs6 Design Standard on Mac

    Hi,
    We have created a Trial package of Adobe Cs6 Design Standard using  AAMEE 3.1 latest version. We followed the guidelines outlined in    
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html  to create a Serialization file. However when we try to Run the Command in terminal "AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml" we get an error which states AdobeSerialization command not found.  Am I missing something here while running the command? Serialization  workflow creates a output folder containing AdobeSerialization executable file  and a prov.xml file. Can't we run the executable directly without using any command on Mac?  We are in the process of using this workflow in order to  streamline the licensing in enterprise. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vishnu Kulkarni

    Hi,
    If you are getting the "Adobeserialization command not found" error, it is not able to find the AdobeSerialization at the path you have mentioned. You should give the path of the folder where the AdobeSerialization is kept on your machine. Please retry it and let us know in case of any error. Return code of zero means success.
    If you are using AAMEE 3.1 and if you use imaging, you need got go through the route of creating the trial package, deploying the trial image and then serializaing the client machines using serialization executable after deploying the trial packages on client machines. The machine-to-license binding is removed in AAMEE 3.1, so you just need to create a serialized packge using AAMEE 3.1, take its image and deploy it on client machines. The licensing will not break on client machines and everything will work fine. So there is no need to create a serialization executable.
    If you have already created a master machine (the machine whoose image is created and deployed) with Adobe products installed in trial, create a serialization executable and run it on the master machine using the command line -
    AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize--stream --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml
    where
    --tool=VolumeSerialize specifies that the tool needs to process the prov.xml file to serialize.
    --provfile specifies the absolute file path to the prov.xml file,
    By default, the tool looks for the prov.xml file in the same directory as the executable file and so
    typically you do not need to specify this option. (Specify this option only if the prov.xml file is in some other location.) .
    This will serialize your trial products and you can take its image and deploy it on client machines. Again, the licensing will not break on client machines and there is no need to run the serialization executable on all client machines seperately.
    if you have already deployed Adobe products on client machines in trial mode, you need to serialize all the machines using the AdobeSerialization tool. Please run this tool with command line -
    AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml.
    This will serialize the Adobe Products.
    While taking the above routes, make sure that the package is created using AAMEE 3.1 only. The machine-to-license binding of CS6 is removed only in AAMEE 3.1 release version. This will not work for packages created using AAMEE 3.0 or AAMEE 3.1 beta version.

  • Creative Suite 6 Design Standard (for Mac) keeps asking for the Serial Number ... over and over!

    My iMac has a well-installed Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. I have a valid serial (purchased it) and it works fine. Every couple of months though the Adobe Application Manager pops up and asks me wether I want to continue the test-period or if I am willing to enter the serial number. So I dig into my papers and get the serial number out ... it is accepted every time and works fine then. But after some time - there we go again: I have to enter the number.
    I faced this issue a while ago and read that it was recommended to update the Application Manger - which I did. But ... still being bothered by these kinds of questions from time to time.
    What can I do?
