Can't find CS2 serial to install CS3 upgrade version (*@*! Yosemite)

Hi all,
Am having to re-install my CS3 (old I know, but still does the job) after having to wipe my hard drive after making the mistake of upgrading my OS to Yosemite... trouble is, as it was the upgrade version (had to install CS2 first) I now need to enter my CS2 serial - which I don't have.
Still waiting for answer on the "Chat" service (customer support no longer 'does' customer support for this) and nothing in my products page in my Adobe ID so a little stuck at the mo !
Any solution MUCH appreciated

Hi Ned,
Thanks for the (extremely prompt!) answer - I've marked as "correct" as I reckon it would work (the installation dialogue box only required a valid CS2 serial and the one on the download link - 1130-0412-8377-1896-9751-5759 - should work, according to what the page states).
Fortunately I managed to find (an old sketchbook that I was using at the time that had a note of both my CS2 and CS3 serials so managed to finish my install from that... one advantage of hoarding old notebooks !
Thanks again, and much kudos to you !
NB. If anyone else has the same issue (re-installing the upgrade version of CS3) then there is no need to install CS2 first before installing CS3 - the system should know you had a valid CS2 and only requires the valid serial.

  • Can't find Range Extender after installing firmware upgrade to fix the 802.11n bug

    I got my RE1000 shortly after Christmas but had trouble after a while where devices would claim they were connected to my wifi network but not really have a connection.
    I discovered by doing a network scan that my router was broacasting/accepting B/G/N... all of my devices support N, so they were connecting on N... but the RE1000 wasn't broadcasting/accepting N... only G.
    Since the RE was on G, this caused major issues trying to connect.
    So in late Jan / early Feb I updated the firmware on the device as per instructions from the Cisco rep... but didn't have a chance to plug it back in and test until now.
    Now when I plug it in, it lights up all solid green... but in the setup (Windows 7 / PC) the setup can't find the device.  My laptop and the RE are within 25 feet of the router... and the laptop and RE are about 6-10 feet apart (I tested different distances to ensure it wasn't too close)
    So now I'm stuck... I can't even verify if the RE1000 is properly updated.
    What can I do or do I need to return this unit?

    scunliffe,
    What is the model number of your router? Is it a Linksys device too? You can configure the RE1000 manually, you will have to connect your laptop straight to the RE1000 via ethernet cable and access its setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 on your browser.
    Check this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=76055e8973f5487f82d2d3f610da4c02_Accessing_the_web...
    Title: Accessing the web-based setup page of the Linksys range extender
    Article ID: 24379
    Scenario 1 is applicable for you: Using a wired computer.
    You may need to disable the WiFi capability on your laptop while doing this to make sure that it is not connected wirelessly to any network. You may need to have both the RE1000 and the laptop at least 6-10 feet away from your router.
    I would say you are fmiliar with the wireless settings on your router, right? You will need those information to configure the RE1000 (SSID, Channel Width, Security Mode, and Passphrase).

  • Installing CS3 Upgrade Version on a NEW PC

    Hello,
    I've had a lot of problems contacting Adobe and hope you can help me.
    I'm getting a new PC soon and want to install my copy of CS3 Design Standard. The disk here is an upgrade disk as I had the original creative suite (also an upgrade disk). Before that I had Photoshop 6.0, InDesign 2.0 etc.
    How would I install CS3 successfully?
    Thanks!

    How would I install CS3 successfully?
    Probably not at all. New PC means Win 7 or Win 8 and CS3 is not compatible at all with the latter and exposes some not so minor issues with the otehr. Beyond that, if you feel adventurous, al lyou need is your CS3 and you will be asked for a serial of a previous product. Just expect this to be an unpleasant experience and don't say you haven't been warned. Of course you might end up happy like a kid on Christmas on the odd chance it may work without a hitch...

  • Can't use ch340g serial port driver since upgrading to Yosemite on MacBook air

    I use my MacBook air with the Arduino 1.0.6 IDE. Since upgrading ( free upgrade) to Yosemite. I can no longer acess the ch340g serial port. (does not show up in arduino ide). I tried re-installing the driver. I get no errors and am told the install was successful. This was working very nicely before the upgrade. I now have three boards I cannot use. I am at a loss as to what I should do.  I suppose I could go back to Maverick but then I would have to go buy the operating system. This seems wrong to me. I was offered an upgrade that then leaves me up the creek without a paddle. Any help given would be highly appreciated.

    I have the same problem, a non stable CM341 serial to tty driver on Yosemity on a MacbookPro Retina.
    I followed the advice of Rsattaur, I executed the command: sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"  and now I have big problems with my USB-ports.
    The result is a screen-of-death after connecting anything to my USB-ports!!!!

  • Can't find out how to install firmware upgrade to Airport.

    I have 6.3.1 and need to get 7.3.1 or later. The apple support site puts me in an endless loop without any real help. My airport is working but has blinking orange light. The cable company says we need to get the latest version of Airport firmware in order to have full security and change the light to steady green.

    Thanks to both of you. Here is my current status:
    Tesserax, I had gone through those steps but I was not getting an Update button. Still am not seeing one.
    Joseph Kriz, I went through the steps you gave me, and did not get an update button. When I went to About Airport Utility it says I have version 6.3.1, not 6.3.2, but I am not seeing a way to update.
    When I click on the airport icon in the Airport utility I get a dialog box that says, "This version of Airport Utility requires this Airport Extreme use firmware 7.3.1 or later. Use Airport Utility 5.6 to update this base station. Airport Utility 5.6 is available at Airport Service and Support."
    But when I go to Airport Service and Support I am not able to update anything. I go to the same place that Tesseract shows in his last post and there is no Update button.
    So, I am stuck...     Ideas??   I appreciate your help.

  • How can I find the serial number from CS4 for my mac? I remembered it being on the box, but now I can't find it, and they website I thought to have registered it to doesn't recognize the e-mail I would have used then I got it.

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but the website recommend I ask here. I bought the CS4 when I bought my macbook pro in when I was in college. I remember there being 2 serial numbers, so I could install to one other computer. That macbook pro finally died, and now I have a new mac which I am trying to re-install the creative suite on, only I can't find the serial number.  The two stickers on the back of the CS4 box (which i thought were the serial numbers) don't look like that they're asking for, and the website listed on the inside of the box for me to register to doesn't recognize my e-mail (which hasn't changed since buying CS4).  Any idea where I could find the serial number?

  • I need to reinstall software.... but I can't find the serial # now

    Unforunately my hard drive crashed and required an erase and install at the genuis bar. We were able to do a backup to an external drive, but apps wont run on it for some reason.
    I can't find the serial # for this product. I was able to install final cut express 2, but not the newer HD version. This is a registered product, but how do I see what products I've registered? Does it have the serial # there?

    If you have the receipt, you can call Apple and they can issue you a new one. I went through this same thing. The downer is I purchased everything through Apple, but they do not store any of your serial #'s; even though, I registered everything as well. Bummer...
    I found the receipts for 5 of 8 applications. So, I'm out 3 apps. Big bummer!
    Good luck and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

    Where can I find the serial key of my academic membership?

    Hi Yuki,
    Creative cloud do not need a serial number. it will be using your Adobe ID on which you have purchased the creative cloud membership.
    So you need to login with your Adobe ID and password to activate the cloud membership.
    Same issue also has been discussed in the below mentioned links.
