Adobe CS3 Upgrade

I purchased Adobe CS3 Upgrade at an auction with the intent to sell.  I contacted chat support and they said the seller (auction) needs to transfer the license o me and then I can sell and transfer the rights to a buyer.  I can't get back on chat to ask any follow up questions.  Chat support said they'd put a case number in my profile and I can't find it anywhere.
help!

You should get back in touch with chat support if you have unfinished business with them.

  • Adobe CS3 Upgrade on 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro

    I am planning to purchase the new generation MacBook Pro in about a month.
    My question is about Adobe CS3. I currently use CS2 on an older G4 PowerBook because I could not deal with the performance dip on the older MacBook Pro (1.83 GHz with 512MB RAM). So I have a licensed copy of CS2 for PPC. If I buy the Upgrade Version of CS3 at a much reduced price, will the transition to Universal work on a MacBook Pro? No more Rosetta? Performance problems solved?
    I realize Rosetta probably struggled with my previous MacBook's speed and lack of RAM. But I don't want to go through that hair-pulling again. I don't get into that advanced PhotoShop, etc. of CS3 but I'm willing to upgrade just to have it Universal and be more reliable. And, of course, I'd like to save the $800 on having to buy the Full Version of the software.
    Thanks everyone for your feedback.
    By the way, I had the same performance issue with MS Office for Mac. Almost 30 seconds to open Word! Anyone know if this becomes a non-issue with newer Macbook Pros??

    Your problem your your previous MBP was simply RAM. 512MB when trying to use CS2 products is simply insanity. If you opt for a new MBP with the standard 2GB, better still with an upgrade to 4GB, then CS3 will perform extremely well. RAM us hugely important and one of the biggest bottlenecks in today's hardware and software requirements.

  • Adobe CS3 Upgrade - Can I Deactivate/Uninstall CS2?

    Hi all,
    A handful of months back, our company purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium upgrade package to replace our Adobe Creative Suite 2 package. What I am wondering is whether it is necessary for CS2 to remain activated and installed on my system in order to run CS3 programs, or if I may go ahead and deactivate/uninstall it. Again, this was an upgrade package, not the standalone version.
    Also, if it IS possible to deactivate/uninstall CS2 and continue running CS3, can another person within our organization install CS2 then, or would this cause conflict with the copy of CS3 I am running...?
    Thanks so much, in advance.
    --Daniel

    You can do what you want but if you have even the slightest thought that
    you'll need the older version leave it.
    In any event, your CS2 copy is tied to the CS3 since it was used to
    upgrade it. You can not transfer or install it on a different machine.

    I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7.  I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade.  The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen.  I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine.  Any thoughts on how to get this working?  Thanks

    If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it.  You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

  • Can I install Adobe CS3, and upgrade all the way through to CS5.5 on Lion?

    Hi,
    I have registered Adobe Suite products since CS3 (DVDs) and been incrementally upgrading to CS5.5 on my Macbook Pro late 2008.
    I recently bought a Mac Mini Server and I was wondering if I will be able to install my Adobe CS3 (imaged disks or external super drive) then run all my upgrades (see below) all the way through CS5.5 without any issues.
    1) Master Collection CS3 DVDs
    2) Design Premium CS4 DVDs
    3) Design Premium CS5 Download
    4) Design Premium CS5.5 Download
    I have read somewhere that I could perhaps skip the 2 older CSx, and instead, just install my CS5 from download and enter the earlier serial numbers (CS3 + CS4) requested. But until I receive the Mac Mini with Lion, I cannot try this and confirm if this actually works.
    Has anyone performed a similar installation on their Lion OS?
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS & CS3 upgrade issues

    I have recently obtained an original disc of adobe photoshop CS and an original disc of adobe photoshop CS3 upgrade to install on my Imac which is running lion at the moment, only to be told that power pc programmes are no longer recognised. I was intending to install the  original Photoshop CS and then upgrade it to CS3, however due to this issue i cant install the original disc.
    I have read that if i revert back to snow leopard then i would be able to install these programms without issue, but the question is then if i then update the OS system to lion, would the updated version of photoshop CS3 still work, being on the back of CS? or would it stop working?
    If this updated programme does not work, am i better having a partitioned disc just to run snow leopard and to use photoshop, and if this is the case would i be able to access all saved images and files when running the lion side of the partition in order to sync these with i cloud and my ipad?
    regards

    The bootable Snow Leopard partition is the way I would do it.
    Borrowed from Kappy,
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting is complete quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard being sure to select the external drive as the target.
    Note that you will need a Snow Leopard DVD. The above will only work for you if you can boot your computer from a Snow Leopard DVD. If you have a new model that came with Lion pre-installed then the above will not work because a Snow Leopard retail DVD cannot boot your model.
    Then install your CS and CS3 and run them in SL. If the images are stored in a seperate drive/partition then it should work seamlessly.

  • Help! bulk license photoshop 7.0 with Cs3 upgrade won't work when reinstalling - Adobe support can't help

    I've installed/reinstalled CS3 (upgrade over Photoshop7) a few times since 2007 when I've upgraded my pc - from the first install I had to contact their Aussie 1800 number because the Photoshop disk was a bulk license version and it didn't like the key when CS3 did an upgrade check.  Spent over an hour today on a chat with Adobe and they will no longer help me as they aren't trained on PS 7 or CS3.  ANY HELP would be appreciated

    If your products are registered with Adobe, they can unlock CS3. It's called a "challenge code".
    Apparently, Adobe has a challenge code system.  So, if you have the old serial number from the upgrade and you call customer support.  Customer support has a challenge code procedure where they give you a code that overrides the problem.  Unfortunately, it took me 5 calls to customer support before I found someone who knew how to do it.  The key term is "Challenge Code"
    Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5
    Important:  We can unlock your serial number after we first verify that you qualify for the upgrade. When you contact us, be at your computer to complete the following upgrade verification workflow.
    Register your product.  
    Contact us. You'll complete the next steps with a staff member.  
    Do one of the following in the Serial Number Upgrade screen:
    Windows: Press Ctrl+Shift and then double-click.
    Mac OS: Press Command+Shift and then double-click.
    The Upgrade Code window appears.
    Read the Challenge Code to the support staff member.
    Enter the Support Code (that Adobe Support provides) into the Support Code field, and then click Next.

  • Adobe After Effects CS3 upgrade doesn't show as product purchased on "My Products and Services" page

    Hi,
    I have purchased both Adobe Photoshop 6.00, a upgrade from it to Photoshop CS2, Adobe After Effects 8, and a upgrade from it to After Effects C3.  The Adobe Photoshop 6.00 shows up with its corresponding serial numberand the Photoshop CS2 upgrade shows up separtely with its serial number.  After Effects shows up as version 8 but has the serial number from the CS3 product and there is only one entry for it. 
    Did I lose my After Effects CS3 upgrade when I used it to get the discount for the Creative Cloud and that is why it is showing up as version 8?
    Thanks, Ron

    Thank you. 
    I should have looked at my old version's box and I would have relized that. So, there is no loss of ownership or anything of that nature in using Adobe After Effects CS3 for the Adobe Cloud discount?  I would be free to even sell it?
    Thanks, Ron

  • Adobe CS3 (32bit) upgrade to CS4 (64bit)

      I currently run Adobe CS3 on a 32-bit platform, Windows XP Pro.  Due to recent hardware failures I am purchasing a new computer.  I plan to upgrade my hardware to support 64-bit Windows XP Pro.  I also want to upgrade my CS3  to CS4, to utilize the 64bit support.
      Since CS3 does not install on a 64bit platform, how can I upgrade to CS4 on my new 64bit machine, or is this even possible?  I'm worried that I may have to purchase CS4 instead of upgrading due to compatibility issues with CS3 on 64bit machines.

    I have vista Biz 64 bit on my new unit. When I try to install master collection CS3 on it the install happens and Bridge Acrobat and OnLocation work. All other programs say I need to re-install or there is a catistrophic failure on my license sub system. I tried switching to XP service pack 2 compatability but still can't get my other programs to start. Adobe customer support just refers to its memo about MC CS3 not supporting 64 bit but then says it should install if I go to a32 bit comp mode. please give more info if possible.. thanks

  • Adobe CS3 Web Premium no longer works after upgrade to OS X Lion

    After upgrading my OS to Lion, Fireworks from Adobe CS3 Web Premium has been rendered useless.  The color picker no longer works at all, and the program generally crashes within 30-60 seconds of being opened.
    Help!

    Jill,
    I've been banging my head against a wall on this one, trying to figure out what to do.
    The 2 solutions I have are: (1) reformat drive and re-install SL or (2) upgrade to CS5.5. Reverting back to SL is going to be a time consuming task considering format, itunes backup, data backup and reinstall everything and I'm not ready to upgrade CS 3 to 5.5 for around a $1000....
    I needed to get back up and running quickly, so I purchasd a couple colorpickers from the app store for a couple dollars. This at least gets me back up and running again. They work well. Not a perfect solution but considering the alternatives, the best fix I have right now.
    For everyone else that hasn't upgraded to Lion, yet. Carefully consider the software compatibility before upgrading to Lion. If you do media, web or application development, it may break your color pickers or more... check Adobe's or your software developer's site for Lion compatibility for the software you use.

  • Adobe cs3 cs4 cs5 permission error under Mac OSX

    When I upgraded my Mac, I just used the time machine to recorver all of my preferences. Everything worked great except for Adobe Illustrator CS3 which would not start (license error).
    I tried removing it and then install version CS4 (genuine copy) and it was not working. After much struggle, I realize the problem was that I did not have writing permission on the file
    /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet\ Publisher/FLEXnet
    Simply try to copy a file to this folder to see if you have the same problem. Whatever I did then, I could not change the permissions to this folder (nor could Adobe special scripts) or the Folder Info panel.
    This folder had extra attribute (@ sign in front of the file name when using a ls -ali in a terminal) and it turned out that these attributes were related to the time machine. I simply put the folder "FLEXnet\ Publisher" to the trash (had to enter the root password) and recreated manually this folder and the FLEXnet subfolder.
    Then both Adobe CS3 and CS4 could run

    I don't see a question in your post... but I feel your FLEXnet pain. At least you didn't have to feed it the serial number off your hard drive.

  • Adobe CS3 Windows 7 Pro 64bit Issues

    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64bit Edition after my system crashed.
    I installed Adobe CS3 without a problem and it ran fine for a little while. Then one
    day I started up Photoshop and then it just stopped working. So I decided to uninstall
    it and reinstall it. When I started the installation, it halted and asked for this Adobe.dll file
    so it complete. I clicked cancel and it aborted.
    I have read many of the forums and they all suggest downloading a file or windows xp mode
    or virtual pc.
    I have downloaded the file that it needs and it still aborts the installation. I have downloaded
    windows xp mode and installed it succesfully but I have no wish to use this software virtually
    because it is limited in the amount of memory it can use and seems to be a bit sluggish
    regardless of how much memory I allow it to have access to. I also have no access to my second
    monitor.
    Now that I have tried to install cs3 on multiple occasions, i now have to call Adobe so I can have
    them reactive my copy. Adobe has to have some sort of work around or patch for this
    because I cant forsee spending another grand for an upgrade to solve my problem.
    Here is my system specs:
    HP Pavilion M8530f
    AMD Phenom 9550 X4 Quad-Core processor 2.2 gigahertz
    7 gigabytes memory
    ATI Radeon HD 5750 Video card
    2 monitors
    2 terrabyte hard drive

    I am hoping its not because this a serious waste of having a 64 bit system if it is. do you know if this may be cause by a certain release version of cs3? i can imagine why any software would ask me to locate adobepdf.dll when it find itself on the cd. this is very puzzling. i have eliminated the video card, hard drive, and processor. frankly, i don't think i should work so hard to figure out how to eliminate a software especially when i paid so much money for it. if adobe doesn't find a solution, i guess i will have to find some other software that gets the job done without all these head aches.
