Cannot register CS3

I am trying to register my version of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium but have been unsuccessful. It will operate and can be used just fine but I am having trouble registering it, and I was warned by the program that if I do not register and activate it within 30 days it will discontinue to work. It was on a previous computer but I deactivated it on that computer, I did not just uninstall it.
On my new Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.3  I install and then open Photoshop and then I select  “Registration...” under Help on the menu bar. This then displays the message:
Registration – Connection Failure
We were unable to connect to Adobe to Register your product.
To proceed with Registration please check the following:
1. Make sure you've connected to the Internet.
2. Make sure JavaScript is enabled in your browser settings.
3. Click the Register Now button.
I then make sure that I am connected to the internet by trying to go to your website and I can. I make sure JavaScript is enabled by opening the internet browser that the computer came with, Safari, and then I went to the security tab under preferences and ensured that “Enable JavaScript” under web preferences was checked. I then clicked on Register Now and I got a new window that says:
Registration – Connection Failure
We were unable to connect to Adobe to Register your product.
Please make sure you're connected to the Internet and have Javascript enabled in your browser.
If you are unable to connect at this time, click the Register Later button.
If I click on Register Now the same window reappears indefinitely.

CS3 registration is long offline. You will have to add it manually via the web site under "My Products", if you haven't already registered it in the past.

  • Cannot reinstall CS3 on Windows 7 after Acrobat update

    I, like so many others, cannot reinstall CS3 on Windows 7. CS3 stopped working after I updated Acrobat (which I now wish I hadn't done), it was working fine for months previously. I got the 'needs uninstall/reinstall' error.
    I am reinstalling from files saved on my computer, not DVD. I tried every solution I could find online (the cleanscript, deactivating firewall, deactivating UAC, uninstalling google desktop, registering jscript.dll) Doing a clean Windows reinstall is not an option I'm willing to try. I tried chatting with customer service, who couldn't help me and referred me to the phone technical support. I tried that and the tech guy told me CS3 is no longer supported, so he couldn't help me, unless of course I wanted to pay a $50 fee). I can get Acrobat Pro and shared components to install, but all other components fail.
    Is it just me, or is it mightily suspicious that this happens to so many other people? I'm willing to bet that Adobe engineers their updates to 'fail' older versions figuring we'll eventually give up trying to fix it and eventually just upgrade. Adobe- you sold me a license with no expiration date. Why not eliminate all the subterfuge and start selling 5yr licenses?

    This just happened to me tonight.   Acrobat requested an update. I said YES, update now.  And now my CS3 Web Premium doesn't work.  I should have known.
    I've tried everything. Adobe cleaners, licence tools, renaming folders (flex_something folder),  resetting folder permissions (Adobe PCD), start services > flex_something, etc.   Can't get anything to work. 
    Something like this happens about every 6 months or so. Takes me 3 days to get it running again. Man, I'm exhausted trying to keep this software running.
    What gives?   Any advise? 
    Runnning: Windows 7 64bit, Web Premium CS3

  • I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it.

    I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert

  • Cannot register my CC and I do not know why

  • Cannot install CS3 on my new computer

    hi, i cannot install CS3 on my new computer due to the fact that i did not deactivate is on my old laptop. to which i dont have acces any more.. can anyone help finding a solution?

    Have you tried installing it or are you just assuming you cannot.  You are normally allowed to install and activate on two machines.
    You will need to contact Adobe support thru chat in order to get assistance with deactivating the inaccessible installation.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • Hello - I live in the UAE and my itunes account is regsitered here. Unfortunately the choice of music is not as good as when my account was registered in the UK. I cannot register my account in the UK as my bank details are all in the UAE now. HELP!

    Hello - I live in the UAE and my itunes account is regsitered here. Unfortunately the choice of music is not as good as when my account was registered in the UK. I cannot register my account in the UK as my bank details are all in the UAE now. HELP!

    Sorry, but no help is possible. You can only use the UAE iTunes Store, and Apple can only offer what content they are able to license for sale in that country. You'll have to look elsewhere for content. Whether there are any other download stores able to sell in the UAE I don't know. You may need to purchased CDs and import them into iTunes.

  • Seeburger EDI Adapter Deployment Error: Cannot register EarLoader

    Hello,
    we currently have updated our SAP Netweaver Development Environment 2004s to SP20. This installation runs on IBM iSeries.
    We also have to deploy a Seeburger EDI Adapter (Version 1.8) but we faced following error in the deployment:
    ---snipped
    PM Error: Aborted: development component
    'SeeFunctionsEar'/'seeburger.com'/'SEEBURGER
    AG'/'20090701183537.1.8.1'/'1', grouped by software component

    ---snipped
    We've deployed not only with the JSPM but also with developer Studio. (The SDM-Tool has a big problem after upgrating to SP20 - SAP knows the error and with the next SP this will be fixed. So this tool cannot be used!)
    First of all, I think it is very useful for us to know what is the EarLoader but unfortunately we can't find any information on the sap help, documentation or here in the SDN. Neither on the Web .....
    Could someone explain the issue to me, please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    1)Can you check your class path, whether it is configured correctly
    2)Check whether you have included the latest class file while importing
    3)Check whether you have activated the objects after you have made changes are imported

  • Bug in 10.1.3 production: Cannot register Custom ViewCriteriaAdapter

    Hi
    I think there is a bug in JDeveloper 10.1.3 production. I cannot register a custom ViewCriteriaAdapter (see also Thread BUG in 10.1.3 EA: Can't register custom ViewCriteriaAdapter
    This is my code:
    public class myAdapter implements ViewCriteriaAdapter
      public String getViewCriteriaClause(ViewObject viewobject, ViewCriteria viewcriteria)
        System.out.println("***** \"myAdapter\" successfully called ***** ");
        return "My ViewCriteria Clause";
    public class tester
      public static void main(String[] args)
        System.out.println("Check if you see a line which states that, that myAdapter was successfully called:");
        AppModuleImpl module = (AppModuleImpl) Configuration.createRootApplicationModule("project1.AppModule", "AppModuleLocal");
        ViewObjectImpl vo = module.getArticlesView1();
        vo.setViewCriteriaAdapter(new myAdapter());
        ViewCriteria vc = vo.createViewCriteria();
        ViewCriteriaRow vcRow = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
        vcRow.setAttribute("ArticleNo", "like 'DV%'");
        vc.addElement(vcRow);   
        vo.applyViewCriteria(vc);
        vo.executeQuery();
        System.out.println("You didn't see such a line? This means 'myAdapter' has not been called, which is a bug!");
    }

    Some investigations discovered that the problem seems to be, that method "applyViewCriteria" in ViewObjectImpl resets the Custom ViewCriteriaAdapter.
    So the problem seems to be solved if you override ViewObjectImpl.applyViewCriteria() like this:
        public void applyViewCriteria(ViewCriteria viewcriteria)
          super.applyViewCriteria(viewcriteria);
          setViewCriteriaAdapter(new myAdapter());
        }Another workaround is to set property "jbo.ViewCriteriaAdapter" to "project1.myAdapter" in the Configuration of all ApplicationModules (or at least in the one which is first instantiated).
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files

    I have spent hours downloading a variety of stuff and still cannot get  CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files. I  have downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 plugin. Photoshop acknowledges that  is the version installed. But it won't recognize the .CR2 file type.  When I say show me all files, the files show up in the open file dialog,  and the thumbnails look right, but when I open the file it is munged. I  also installed the DNG Converter, which also does not recognize the  .CR2 files.
    Has anyone figured this out yet? It has been almost a year. I don't want to upgrade to CS4 or 5 or buy Lightroom.

    The Adobe DNG Converter 6.2 will open your files, if you have an uncorrupted download and use it properly.  No doubt about that.
    Once you launch it, be sure to target a folder containing raw files, not the raw files themselves.  At least on the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders, not on individual files.
    Alternatively, you can try dragging and dropping the individual raw files onto the DNG Converter icon.
    Some routine maintenance may be overdue on your Mac, such as Repairing Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, running Onyx or Cocktail, etc.

    It does not magically appear in a new place.  It will only be where you put it.

    HI Cena,
    This error message means that the controller received a discovery request through a broadcast IP address that has a source IP address (given), which is not in any configured subnets on the controller. It also means that the controller dropped the packet. This typically happens when the u trunks all allowed VLANs instead of restricted them to wireless VLANs.
    Please allow only specific vlans.
    Complete these steps in order to resolve this problem:
    1.If the controller is on another subnet, the APs must be primed for the controller IP address, or the APs must receive the controllers IP address using any one of the discovery methods.
    2.The switch is configured to allow some VLANs that are not on the controller. Restrict the allowed VLANs on the trunks.

  • My desktop fried in a power surge--- I bought a new one---I cannot register my CS2 even though I have the activation code

    My desktop fried in a power surge--- I bought a new one---I cannot register my CS2 even though I have the activation code

    Awesome! You're welcome!
    Well, I'm not exactly sure. I suppose they may know if you have or have not purchased it since you are probably signed in...Or they figure it's an old enough program, and few enough people know about the serial number, that they don't care too much.

  • Cannot register iPod - help!

    i got an iTouch for my birthday, and i tried to connect it to my computer. It gives me the option to register it, but i can't find the button to register it. i only see a button that says 'register later.' it starts to cut off the words, like if there was a scroll bar to move to the right, i dont see it. its definately not there. i have an old iPod, which is connected to another computer in my house. that computer is way old and i dont think the iTunes library will let me buy any more songs because i'm unable to upgrade to another level of iTunes. but thats not the problem i'm having.
    i would like to register and start using my iTouch sometime soon, but i cannot register it.
    please help!
