Deactivate Dreamweaver cs3

How do you deactivate dreamweaver cs3? I now have cs4 and will be uninstalling cs3 but need to deactivate it first. Thanks for any help on this issue!

Activation Version 2.1, included with retail versions of CS3 (but not with volume license products), contains a feature that allows you to deactivate your product after you have installed and activated it.
If this applies to you, then visit the following link: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400786#notethree

Deactivate Dreamweaver CS3 after uninstalling?

Hope someone can help me out here...
Basically, back in the day, I had Dreamweaver MX, and upgraded to CS3 when it came out.
I've recently invested in Web Premium CS5, but discovered I cannot use ADDT in CS5, so I need to fire up CS3 again to do so.
However, I've run into a problem in that I can't activate on my new iMac, as there are no activations left.
I've tried reinstalling it on my old MBP just to deactivate and then uninstall it, but run into an issue in that it wants me to insert a Photoshop Elements disc, which I don't have.
I even managed to find my old MX disc to try reinstalling that, to see if that would get rid of the PE6 request, but the disc is so old it no longer works.
Any suggestions as to how I can get CS3 deactivated on my old MPB to activate it on my new machine?
Very frustrating, as I just need it for a very few features of ADDT that work very well in my workflows.
Thanks.

Thanks Murray - do you know how it works - would I just give them my CS3 serial and they can do something at their end that'll allow me to activate it again?

Deactivate in CS3 not working

I tried to deactivate Dreamweaver CS3 for installing on a new computer. It was not working. It said there was no Internet Connection. This was clearly not true. It said there might be a problem with the firewall or a proxy. I checked both, this was not the case.
Then I tried to access https://activate.adobe.com via nmap, ping and a browser. This worked and the certificate was valid. Hereafter I checked the DNS and I noticed that the url was forwarded to https://activate.wip4.adobe.com . Unfortunately this site had no valid certificate.
The solution
I tried to add this line to my host file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\ets\hosts
192.150.16.69 activate.adobe.com
And after this I could deactivate CS3! I hope some of you can use this solution until Adobe sorts it out.

I'm able to make the droplet, but when I try to drag a folder over it Photoshop doesn't recognize it and tries to place the file next to the droplet icon. I'm not getting any error messages. Batch processing is working.
Reading a related windows os post on this problem suggests that it could be due to some remaining files from a removed CS2 version.
Perhaps my question should be how to remove all previous traces of CS2 from mac os x.

Dreamweaver cs3 deactivation/activation problem

I am trying to deactivate Dreamweaver CS3 on my windows pc and it is not working. I have tried to activate it on my laptop but am having no success with that either. My Dreamweaver CS3 serial number is
<Edited by moderator>
Please can someone help with this problem ?

Broadcasting your serial number to the entire internet probably isn't going to help things in the activation department.
Can a moderator delete that?

Dreamweaver CS3 First Run problems

Installing Dreamweaver CS3 Saga.
I've had some trouble and despite looking for answers and
trying a few things I'm getting nowhere. I've included a timeline
of events below to help explain.
0) System: New Dell Opliplex 745 running XP Pro Sp2 and
networked to a domain. Educational License ordered for MOPS school.
Disk delivered.
1) Tried installing in regular user's account. When it
prompted for admin details, I entered them, but it didn't work.
Insufficient rights to install, fair enough.
2) Logged on as domain admin. Tried installing. Failed!
Insufficient rights. Hmmm.
3) Logged on to local computer as administrator. Installed.
Success! However, could not find the serial number so selected
"trial" option. All worked ok. Emailed supplier to find out why
serial was not included with disk.
4) Gave regular user full admin rights on computer to avoid
future hassles.
5) Obtained serial from supplier (it was on the invoice).
Entered serial number while logged on as user. Dreamweaver accepted
serial but then a blank dialog box (titled Adobe Dreamweaver CS3)
opened over the top of the rest of Dreamweaver and froze up access
to Dreamweaver. Can't close box, can't interact with box apart from
moving it around over the top of DW. It doesn't count as a separate
window in the task bar.
6) Ended Dreamweaver process, loaded it again. Blank dialog
box appeared yet again however Dreamweaver began some adobe
updating. ~140mb download. Around 20mb in, some files began
installing - so far so good. Then, adobe updater vanished and we're
back to frozen dialog box.
7) Restarted computer. Logged on as user again, ran
Dreamweaver again. Frozen blank dialog box again HOWEVER I did find
that if I was quick I could interact normally with Dreamweaver,
open files, etc for a few seconds until dialog box kicks in. Also
when ending the task instead of ending the process, the windows
message says "The system cannot end this program because it is
waiting for a response from you. To return to windows and check the
status of the program, click cancel. If you choose to end the
program immediately, you will lose any unsaved data. To end the
program, click End Now." Obviously this refers to the blank dialog
box but I can't interact with the box so I can't respond to DW.
8) Remembering previous troubles, logged off and logged on to
local machine as administrator. Ran Dreamweaver again. This time an
initial dialog box asking about file associations popped up. Then,
Adobe update began running, this time 120mb download. Once again,
around 20mb in, some files installed and then Dreamweaver frozen
dialog box once more is revealed. The rest of the updates are
nowhere to be seen, adobe updater does not seem to be running any
more.
9) Found an issue in forums with corrupt Bonjour installation
causing DNS trouble. Figured this might be affecting the updates,
uninstalled the service as outlined elsewhere on this forum. Did
not help.
10) Decided to attempt a repair install from the disk. It
seemed to work but then only the shared components seemed to
install. But underneath that in the installation window, it said
both Dreamweaver and the Shared Components failed to install. So
did it fail or did it not fail? Your guess is as good as mine.
11) Ran Dreamweaver again. This time, a green "scrolling
credits" style window appeared, with "Click here to continue". Upon
clicking, the credits window disappeared and all looked well. I
alt-tabbed to something else but when I went back into Dreamweaver
the blank dialog window was back again.
I've searched the net, and scanned these forums but I am
unable to find a similar issue or any clue as to how to proceed
next.
I am going to try to uninstall Dreamweaver and reinstall it
fully, while logged on as local admin, probably I will use the CS3
clean script that I found on the forums to make sure its all gone;
and then I will enter the serial at the same time as installation
to avoid ever triggering the trial installation conditions. In the
meantime if anyone has any suggestions feel free to chip in with
ideas.
PS Further information which I just remembered: Internet
access is restricted by a proxy. Adobe updater worked fine after
giving it username and password to log on to the proxy. Perhaps
this frozen screen is trying to access the internet?

Further information - when I tried to uninstall I was advised
by the uninstaller that I should deactivate CS3. But I couldn't
find how to do that in the few seconds before everything freezes.
I had an inspiration to pull the network plug out and sure
enough, the frozen window became a window which reads:
Dreamweaver is unable to connect to the internet to register
your product. I selected "Register Never" so hopefully this will
fix my problem!

Can't deactivate old CS3 to install on new computer

I have Dreamweaver CS3 and then Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator CS5. I purchased a new computer and was able to deactivate CS5 fine, but CS3 didn't include anything about deactivating the account. I assumed I could it online or some place else, so reformatted the old computer and gave it away to relatives. But now after installing Dreamweaver CS3 and inputing my serial numbers, I get a "maximum number of activations allowed" error. Any help on this? I couldn't find a live chat link anywhere, either, even though that's what Adobe Twitter support said to use.

Hi momotarutaru,
See Activation & Deactivation Help. At the bottom of this page, a chat button appears whenever a support agent is available to chat with you.
Thanks.

Uninstall downloaded version of Dreamweaver CS3

I purchased Dreamweaver CS4, downloaded and installed it. Now
I'd like to get rid of the Dreamweaver CS3 files. Trying to
uninstall via Windows control panel does not work since it requires
the original installation disks. I'd like to recover the 209 MB on
my disk. What should I do? Just delete the files in the Program
file directory? I am worried I'd delete some shared
components.

That's really odd that it requires the disk to uninstall.
There is a CS3 clean tool, and it wipes all instances of the Adobe
software clean. I'm not sure if it will affect your CS4
installation. To be on the safe side, deactivate CS4 before
proceeding in case it affects CS4 and needs to be reinstalled.

Deactivate Dreamweaver- Windows crashed, linux?

I have Dreamweaver CS3 installed on my computer as well as my laptop and it is essential that I have it at both because I am not able to always have my laptop with me and vice versa. A few days ago my computer crashed and I have been getting the BSOD, blue screen of death, everytime I turn on the computer and it says that my hard drive is corrupt. However, I am able to use a Ubuntu Linux start up flash drive I created a boot up the computer using Linux and access my hard drive. I was wondering if there was anyway to deactivate Dreamweaver by using Linux and somehow editing or changing the .exe file or something because I know Linux cannot open .exe files. Any help would really be appreciated because if I can not figure this out then i will lose usage in one of my computers.

You need to call support by phone. Nothing anyone here can do.

Why can't I activate my Dreamweaver CS3 program on my new computer?

Why can't I activate my Dreamweaver CS3 program on my new computer?

After 4 hours of searching on internet and trying to be in contact with Adobe support, I found this forum with people with the same problem i have.
I need to deactivate Acrobat Web Premium CS3 on an older XP machine and activate it on a new Win7 Enterprise.
The application is on both machines successfully installed/registered and I can continue to click on Help | activate/deactivate (On both machines activate and deactivate is not greyed out),
but I’m receiving the message Activation - No Connection
I’ve checked the internet connection, proxy server and host file, all are correct.

I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 8 it says "The Installer Database is corrupt"

I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC and when I run SETUP.EXE it says "The Installer Database is corrupt" on both my original CD and backup I made.

The error is here:
Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC
This will most likely never work. CS3 wasn't even fit for Win 7. Delete the caps.db in the respective caps folder (info here) and then take the usual steps of running as admin, turning off UAC and security tools and possibly using compatibility modes, but as I said, be prepared that this may be futile and you spend a Sunday afternoon without achieving anything...

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

Firefox 3.6.13 will not open as the browser to view web pages from within Dreamweaver CS3

I build websites with Dreamweaver CS3. I am operating on Mac OS 10.4.11 using Firefox 3.6.13 - The problem began on the last software update. I like to use Firefox instead of Safari. Up to the point where I upgraded, I never had a problem but now, when I go to preview/debug in browser, Firefox loads but it goes no farther than my home page ... it will not load the Dreamweaver page preview. Safari works fine. So I think there may be a problem loading 3.6.13 past the startup page.

Here's the fix. Dump Firefox 3.6.13 and Re-Install Firefox 3.5.16. Problem solved.

Dreamweaver CS3 and Coldfusion Errors

is anyone experiencing errors when using the coldfusion
inbuilt tools within dreamweaver cs3? I am getting errors when
using the insert record server beahaviour. Also i have noticed that
some sql code is not genrated correctly within cs3. This was not as
a problem in versions MX and 8.

Have you posted this question in the Cold Fusion Forums?

I don't use CF myself and the few CF coders I know have long since moved to Eclipse/ColdFusion Builder.
