Creative Suite CS3 installation errors

Hello,
I have installed my copy of Creative Suite CS3 several times on my PC. However, recently my PC was hit with a virus. I reinstalled Windows XP/SP2. When I now try to install Creative Suite, I get errors every time.
I've tried to install it now five times. The message that I'm getting is similiar to "component installation failed". (I'm recalling the message from memory.) I'm trying to put Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Fireworks and Dreamweaver on my machine, but this error appears with every application I attempt to install.
I'm not aware of any error log that Adobe is keeping with the installation process.
Does anyone have any suggestions? thanks.

Adobe customer support has kindly provided me this KB article:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401401&sliceId=2
I'm going to go through these steps this weekend.

Creative Suite CS3 installation

Adobe Creative Suite CS3 consists of various applications: is it possible to choose only required applications during the install, or we need install the whole suite?

Yes, you can use a Custom install to pick your applications.

Have you ensured you're installing the Mac installation disc and not the Windows disc -- and that you're installing from the program installation disc and not the content installation disc?

Installed, licensed, and working Creative Suite CS3 fails. How do I clean Adobe off my system for new installation?

I run Macbook Pro with Mavericks. I have a licensed copy of Creative Suite CS3 installed. It simply stopped working. InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator close upon opening. Tried repairing the installation, uninstalling, and reinstalling. Didn't work. The reinstallation did no provide an opportunity to enter the serial number. Tried CS5cleaner. Didn't work. It left the applications installed and deleted the uninstall application. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The system requirement for CS3 is :
Macintosh
PowerPC® G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor (Adobe Premiere® Pro, Encore®, and Soundbooth™ require a multicore Intel processor; Adobe OnLocation™ CS3 is a Windows application and may be used with Boot Camp)
Mac OS X v.10.4.9; Java™ Runtime Environment 1.5 required for Adobe Version Cue® CS3 Server
1GB of RAM for DV; 2GB of RAM for HDV and HD; more RAM recommended when running multiple components
24GB of available hard-disk space to install all core components (up to 1GB of additional free space may be required during installation); custom installing select components requires less space
Dedicated 7,200 RPM hard drive for DV and HDV editing; striped disk array storage (RAID 0) for HD; SCSI disk subsystem preferred
Core Audio compatible sound card
1,280x1,024 monitor resolution with 32-bit video card; Adobe recommended graphics card for GPU-accelerated playback
For OpenGL support: Some 3D features in Photoshop CS3 Extended require an OpenGL 1.4 capable graphics card with at least 64MB of VRAM; Adobe After Effects® supported OpenGL 2.0 card (NVIDIA recommended)
DVD-ROM drive
Blu-ray burner required for Blu-ray Disc creation
SuperDrive required for DVD burning
QuickTime 7.1.5 software required to use QuickTime features
Internet or phone connection required for product activation
Broadband Internet connection required for Adobe Stock Photos* and other services
Please compare it with your system specification.

Adobe Creative Suite CS3 - Adobe Indesign CS3 Debug: Installation on the same PC?

Hi
Is it possible to install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 and Adobe Indesign CS3 Debug on the same PC?
If yes how can I do that?
I have tried it but if I install the debug version there is a message that I can't install it because there is a conflict.
Thanks
Hans

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help me :S
I have designed a card measuring 210mm x 74mm. The printer has asked me to impose as head to head, 5mm double trims and bleed. I have no idea how to do this and seem to be wasting my time tring to google it. Trouble is I am trying to impose 4 pdf's into the 1 indesign file and when i export it as a pdf i can't see any trim mark/crop marks surrounding the edges of any of the 2 files (apart from the corners of the pages). I've probably just confused the hell out of you now but if you can help me I would really appreciate it. If I need to clarify anything please let me know.
Thanks in advance!!

ARCHIVOS DE EJEMPLO DEL CREATIVE SUITE CS3

Hola
Tengo el Creative Suite CS3 y estaba siguiendo los tutoriales del video que viene incluído y hay un link para descargar los archivos de ejemplo o como dice en la interface, el archivo base. Pues bien le das click y direcciona a una página que ya no está. Alguien sabe donde poder descargarse los esos archivos de ejemplos?, los tutoriales están bien pero lo bueno sería poder seguirlos con los ejemplos.
Gracias

I am having this same issue returning the error message:
AMT Subsystem Failure
The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call support.
I have run through all suggestions I could find in this forum and others with no luck. Including this article: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402004&sliceId=2.
I have restarted the FLEXnet Licensing server but still get error when I attempt to open any cs3 app.
All CS3 programs were running fine until last week on Vista. Please help!

Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Design Premium Student Upgrade?

I bought a student edition of CS3 Design Premium.
After purchasing it I found that I only use the Photoshop part of the Suite.
Am I able to upgrade the Photoshop portion, upgrade the complete Suite or do I have to purchase a new student copy of CS5 Photoshop.
Thanks in advance.

Bob -- I appreciate your bad news
Looks like I'll qualify for a teachers copy of CS5 -- I guess I'll pick one of those up.
I had a quick glance at your article & am sure that both I & my children (students) will find it of use.
Best to you & thanks again.

Subject: Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Design Premium Student Upgrade?
First things first...there are no student upgrades. If you're still eligible you can buy the software at student prices.
In the case of actual upgrades, no, you can't upgrade an individual sutie component.

Adobe creative suite cs3 design premium

Hi there,
I've recently bought the new macbook pro (10.9.2) and was wondering if the ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE CS3 DESIGN PREMIUM software would still work on the new laptop? If anybody could help me, it would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Amy

I just had a look at some of the Adobe CS3 products at Roaring Apps (http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a) and it seems that most of the apps in the CS3 Design Premium Suite will, surprisingly, work with Mavericks.
Not you'll just have to find a way to install it (unless you're restoring from a backup - in which case you'll probably still need your activation code).
Good luck,
Clinton

Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Student Edition... Serial number problems!

Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me!
I purcahsed the Creative Suite CS3 Design Standard, Student Edition, about 8 months ago, and sent off a copy of proof of being in full time education to retrieve my serial number. I haven't recieved one as of yet, and I am a bit lost as to what to do next! As I'm sitting here with software that I cant even use! :(
Would anyone know who to contact about this?
Any help would be REALLY appreciated (as all my design coursework is slowly pilling up haha!)
Thanks,
Karen.

After reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back. i got some good info with a search or two. (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs, OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
from User /Preferences/Adobe:
com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
and from System Preferences:
the file: Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
and..
/.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
Debug Database.txt
Placeholder Preset.epr
PostEncodeCmds.pref
PresetCache.xml
Trace Database.txt
NOTE:
of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but... it seems to have worked.
I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering, so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
happy editing,
peace

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

Need replacement disc for Creative Suite CS3 Design Standard

My hard drive on my MacBook Pro is crapping out on me and refuses to let me make a full bootable backup so I can replace the disk. Problem is that I've foolishly managed to lose my physical disks for Creative Suite CS3 Design Standard so I can't do a reinstall. Can anyone on the forum help? Thanks in advance.

If you still have your serial number somewhere, you may call Adobe Tech Support and provide them with the details that you have. If you are really nice to them, they may send you a replacement disc. Good Luck.
