CS3 Design Standard Academic - updates and upgrades

I am interested in purchasing CS3 Design Standard, academic version for my iMac. Are updates (such as patches, etc.) available to owner's of the academic version.
Thanks!

The academic versions are identical to the commercial versions. Only
real difference is price and the inability to ever sell or transfer the
license to another user.

Installed CS3 Design Standard.. Acrobat 8 is just not there...

Hi,
Before installation I knew that there were some caomaptability problems with Acrobat 8 and Leopard but I installed CS3 Design Standard last night and during the installation I something telling me that Acrobat was already installed and after the installation Acrobat 8 was nowhere to be found in Applications! Everything else was there... just no Acrobat 8.. I had thought it would install and just not work... This was a suroise. Anyone else had this experience?

I didn't know about the compatibility problem, but in my applications folder is the acrobat pro folder. not sure what you did. I did a clean install, and then reloaded Cs3.

InDesign CS5.5 upgrade not accepting CS3 Design Standard Serial Number

Hi,
I currently have Adobe CS3 Design Standard on my mac computer, and when I try to upgrade my InDesign to InDesign CS5.5, It is telling me my CS3 Serial Number is not valid. Please help.
Thank you,

Yes, as it should be. Suites can only be upgraded to suites. It says so in the fine print of the buying guides. Contact sales support about returning the package and getting a ful lsuite instead.

CS3 Design Standard Upgrade Options

OK, this may be a very simple question but I am looking for some advice. I am looking to upgrade to CS3 Design Standard.
At present I have Illustrator 10, Photoshop 7, In-Design 2, and Acrobat Professional 5.0 (I think). All of these came bundled in Design Collection 6.
Looking at the options for upgrading to CS3 Design Standard, there appears to be no option for upgrading from Design Collection only previous CS versions. There is an option from upgrading from 1 product to CS3, however I have more than one product. Are there options to upgrade from Design Collection?
It appears that it is cheaper to upgrade all the products individually than to upgrade to CS3 from one product. What advantages are there to upgrading to the CS3 Design Standard rather than upgrading the individual software to the CS3 versions.
Many Thanks

If you go to the suite, you'll get Dreamweaver, Flash, and some extras
in Bridge. It's your call. Do the math but as you've discovered, there's
no upgrade path from multiple products and judging from the versions you
have, this is your last chance to upgrade to a suite or individual
applications.
The current eligibility requirement is a version no more than three
versions old.

Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

Maybe this can help someone else... I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that. I think that sorted it! I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back. Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6. Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS. I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine. Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

Is CS3 Design Standard compatible with Windows 7 64-bits and MS Office 2010 Pro Plus?

Hi,
I have been googling around to see if Adobe CS3 Design Standard is compatible with Windows 7 64-bits with MS Office 2010 Pro Plus, but I couldn't find a decent answer.
If anyone here has any idea on this, please let me know.
As far as i know Adobe CS3 comes with Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro which is not compatible with MS Office 2010, so I am sort of worried that I will need to upgrade my CS3 to CS6.
Any advises are welcome.
Thanks.

I don't know if Acrobat 8 is Win 7 64 bit compatible or if it's supported. The rest of the apps should be fine.
But I do think you'll have issues with Office 2010 files being placed into InDesign.
Moving to CS6 is something you should be thinking about very soon. You only get upgrade pricing until the end of the year, but I highly recommend taking a look at Creative Cloud. At $29.99/month for the first year it's a bargain.

J3liu1 I would recommend reviewing the installation log files for the specific error message which you are facing. You can find details on how to locate an interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

I had CS3 Design Standard on my old comput I deactivated it and downloaded it on my new computer. I opened InDesign and entered my serial number which worked fine. BUT... where is photoshop and illustrator? I downloaded them separately but the serial n

Please help!

You placed your incomplete problem statement as the title rather than as the content of your posting and it got cut off.
Your CS3 Design Standard serial number is only valid for the CS3 Design Standard package of software. You cannoit download individual components of it and use the serial number for them. You need to install them thru the Suite.

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.

CS3 design standard deactivation

Hi!
We purchased two licenses for CS3 Design Standard collection
It was all perfect until one of the workstations went out of order. OS became so corrupted that we couldn't deactivate the product. Once we got all the mess sorted out, I've downloaded a copy of CS3 form adobe website. But i was unable to activate it due to the fact that we reached the number of activations available. I was offered to contact support. I got in touch with 3 different people and i got three different answers:
1st try - I was offered to call support. But when I call support I receive a notification that support for CS is not available
2nd try - I was helped to restore corporate access to licensing.adobe.com (sale agent never cared about informing me back in 2008). And i was said that i need to download another version of distributive. Once i restored access to our account - I saw no download available
3rd attempt - I was literally told that I will get no help unless I upgrade my subscription
To be honest I was never humiliated like that ever before and I can't figure a way out
Maybe some can give me 4th and right advice on that problem?
Thank you

Cannot re-install CS3 Design Standard on my computer.

I had CS3 Design Standard on my Windows 7 pc until a power outage knocked it out. I am having no luck re-installing it. I've completed the reinstallation disk for my Dell but still cannot re-install the design programs. The only message it gives me is "Some problems occured during installation."
The disk is fine,. I just installed it on another computer the other day. But I need HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

Impossible to tell, but you might wanna read this and this. If the problems are caused by an outtage, there's a good chance your whole operating system suffered some severe damage and you need to start from scratch, that is use a low-level format and install Windows the hard way of the disk rather than just the restore media. And naturalyl run all Windows Updates and what have you...

Cs3 design standard registration error

I'm having trouble registering this product that I just installed. When I get to the registration window, it says"a problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet"
It is Adobe creative Suite 3, Design standard.
Also, I am getting an error box that says "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly"

The software is installed and functioning on my new Macbook Pro. When I installed the CS3 software a few days ago, I reached a point where it asked for the serial number. It accepted the number as valid, then took me to an error screen saying “A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the internet.”
After contacting this forum, I’ve come to understand that is an old/invalid screen. I was given an alternate link, and when visited that link and I entered the serial number, it gave an error which read, “The code you entered is invalid. Please try again.” (I saved a screen copy of all this. It was the correct code.)
After visiting the last link you shared in your most recent reply, and navigating around the site, I found the "My Products" page, and entered my serial number from the CS3 Design Standard. It said the serial has already been registered.
At this point, the applications are loaded, and I have been using Photoshop and Bridge cs3 for the last 4 days. Illustrator and InDesign are working as well. I can give you the serial number if that will help
I have two questions:
Will the software stop working after 30 days?? (Do I need to be bothering with all these registration errors?)
How do I install the CONTENT DVD that came in the package? There is no Set Up file or Installer on the second dvd like there was on the Application DVD. Do I transfer the files off the disc into a select folder? Or are they supposed to be installed in some way using an installer?

Installing CS3 Design Standard & Premium

Hi,
A friend of mine has given me the Adobe CS3 Design Standard and Premium discs as they had the opportunity to upgrade to CS5.
I have the 2 installation discs and one video workshop discs in their box, but no other packaging.
My friend never registered or installed these items as they upgraded to CS5 before they needed to.
I'd like to install these products but I'm not sure where to get the serial number?

Was that license used as the basis for an upgrade? If so, you have no right
to use them.

Can I use CS3 Design Standard with CS4 Web Standard?

I have a somewhat confusing question/s. I have CS3 Design Standard currently. I need Dreamweaver and Flash and I'd like to do it the most cost effective way. I'm perfectly happy with my CS3 versions of Photoshop & Illustrator and don't really want to pay for upgrading them unless I really have to.
1. If I purchase CS4 Web Standard, not upgrade, will that impact my ability to use my CS3 products. (specifically, Photoshop & Illustrator) Can you run both CS3 & CS4 concurrently?
2. If I upgrade from the CS3 Design Standard to CS4 Web Standard, will it delete my CS3 Photoshop & Illustrator or will it just add the CS4 applications and leave the CS3 products (that aren't included in the upgrade) alone?
Thanks to anyone who can assist me. I hope my questions make sense. Any advice is appreciated!
Rebecca
In case it's important, I'm running OSX 10.5.8 on a MBP

1. No and Yes. (but why would you buy the full version instead of the upgrade?)
2. The CS4 installer doesn't touch the CS3 apps.

How to buy a CS3 Design Standard License today ?

Company's Marketing Communication Group used CS3. I need to work on their files and I need to buy a license of CS3 Design Standard. On the Adobe site, I can't.
What is the solution for me ?

Hi,
Unfortunately cs3 is not longer being sold. The only product that is being sold under perpetual license in cs6.
Thank You
