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?

    Well i have tried installing the CS3 Design Standard on Windows 7 the normal way, logged in and executing the installer. This works fine,
    nothing says that the system requirements are not fulfilled. Everything works fine.
    It just dont work silently....
    Does anyone know whats wrong?
    Please help...

    Hi, this might be a little late, but who knows, for the future reference, this is what solved the problem for me:
    Each major application has a file called appname.proxy.xml in their payload folder. At the bottom of the file, simply remove the OS check:
    <SystemRequirementsJSON>[
    {"OS":{"Macintosh":{"Require":[{"Version":"10.4.8"}],"Exclude":[{"Version":"10.4.8"}]},"Wi ndows":{"XP":{"Exclude":true,"Require":{"MinServicePack":"2","@servicePack64Bit":1

  • CS3 Design Standard dmg corrupted?

    I have a copy of CS3 Design Standard on disc, but my new laptop does not have a disc drive. I tried downloading the file <a href="here, but I keep getting a "image not recognized" error when I try to download it. I have tried several times. The file size is listed as 2.15 GB, which matches up with what it says on the page. Is this link broken? Is there somewhere else I can get the media? Thanks.

    Thanks, that did seem to work. Although now when I open that, and click on 'setup' it tells me I can't install it because it's from an 'unidentified developer'.
    So I opened from the context menu, and it let me try to open it... but now it says ' Setup Error Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance'
    Installing Adobe CC trial for the time being... guess I have to call customer support, eh?

  • Cannot activate CS3 Design Standard in ML

    Hi,
    I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2 installed and recently tried to install my CS3 Design Standard bought as a student license. I can install fine, but when prompted to activate, I get an error message saying there is no internet connection. I have tried different internet connection without any luck. I do not have a firewall installed on my computer. I have tried activating it by phone but I get a voice message saying that a problem occured. My license should be just fine. What seems to be the problem?
    Please help,
    Best regards
    PS. I should add that the programs work just fine when I use the trial license. However, I would naturally very much like to activate my license before the trial expires.

    Get in touch with support. If the phone activation says that there's a problem, then something's up. That aside, refer to this:

    Even if it's only for current products, the basic troubleshooting steps are the same...

    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...
