Dreamweaver CS3- Can't activate after reformat of hard drive

Hello
I had to reformat my hard drive due to a virus and made note of all my serial numbers.
I put Dreamweaver CS3 back on laptop with disc and it accepts my code but then I have to phone to activate it fully.
I then get a message on  the phone telling me to go to adobe.com/go/activation, I can then do nothing there.
It tells me to click help in dreamweaver and activate from there but I can't get past an activation screen to get there.
Please help as I need to work on my website.
TIA Ian

I know CS2's server has been deactivated due to some unnamed "technical problem".
As for the OP, I would uninstall and run the cleaner tool then try again. The cleaner tool is available here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
You "may" also benefit from trying the install this way, just make sure to follow ALL of the instructions...

  • HT201250 I have an Time Capsule (1 TB) and do not know how to get my data from it after reformatting my hard drive.

    Due to multiple problems with Lion, I decided to reformat my hard drive with Snow Leopard (10.5.8) and now am unable to retrieve my data from my time capsule (1T).  I tried to import but ended up with 342 pictures of mainly clip art and downloads from emails.  Help.  I don't know how to get to the time capsule.  When I open time capsule, it shows only the dates since I reformatted on Sunday.

    I don't think this helped me!  I am afraid to do the Terminal thing if it can't be undone!  I cannot afford to lose the time machine backups.  When I open the time machine now, it shows only backups from Sunday when I reformatted the disk!!!
    I did open disk utility which is as follows:
                                  Capacity:  464.8 GB (499,113,885,696 Bytes)
                                  Available: 441.6 GB (474,187,837,440 Bytes
                                   Used:  23.2 GM (24,926, 048,256 Bytes)
                                   Number of Files: 634,969
                                  Format:  Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
                                  Owners Enabled:  Yes
                                  Number of Folders:  159,926
    It gives me the option to restore, but then wants a source and destination.  Is this the right place to be?  I have Version 10.5.8. 

  • After reformatting my hard drive, I lost some of my apps and have to pay to get them back. What do I do?

    My OS got corrupted, so I had to reformat my hard drive and in the process lose all the data on my hard drive. This includes apps that were included in my MacBook when I first got it such as Facetime, while others are at their pre-Yosemite versions. I can't reinstall them since I have to pay for them, while the other apps like iMovie and Garage Band can't be updated and also require payment. How do I get these apps back? I use a Late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15" running on 10.10.1. Bought it at around February or March 2014

    Hey JeromeAM,
    When you first got your MacBook Pro, you should have agreed to accept the purchase to your Apple ID. Most of your apps that came from the Mac App Store can be downloaded again. To do that, open the Mac App Store and go to the Purchases tab and make sure that you are signed in. From there, you will see a list of apps that you can download again. If you still are not seeing, check to make sure that nothing is hidden. 
    Download past purchases

    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.

  • Help! Sometimes Dreamweaver CS3 can't see my .css file

    Once a day or so dreamweaver cs3 can't see my .css file. So
    all my files that I am working with turn to poop. To fix I have to
    close each file and re-open. Then my .css returns and all my files
    are how they should be. Anyone else ever have this problem?

    That I do not know - I've never looked. From the styles
    panel, I do know that it does not completely disapear - it shows
    the .css - just all the rules are missing. I will look next time.
    Usually only happens when multiple files are open. Thanks

  • Can't activate after latest iPad upgrade. Advises me to go to iTunes but it won't get off the error screen.

    Can't activate after latest iPad upgrade. Error message advises me to go to iTunes but it won't get off the error screen.

    I am the original owner of an ipad and it woke it yesterday requiring me to activate it using the original apple id used to set it up.
    It will not accept my apple id and password.
    It does not show up in my icloud under devices.
    I have tried hard restart (home + power) and itunes recovery. 
    I am out of ideas and have not found anything for original owners (as opposed to someone who bought it from someone else).  I did see some posts from last year where a few people had the same problem and took it back to apple and got a refurbished unit given to them since customer service and engineering couldn't fix it.  I was wondering if this was related to the recent ios8 upgrade. Anybody else have ideas or same problem before I hike down to the apple store for mercy?

  • How do I get finder to recognize my hard drive after pulling my hard drive out without eject...? Is my hard drive dead? I see it in disk utility... Can I get my info back?

    I have a seagte back up plus. I pulled my hard drive out without ejecting it and now finder dosn't find it but I see it in disk utility (although I cant repair permissions) How do I get finder to recognize my hard drive after pulling my hard drive out without eject...? Is my hard drive dead? I see it in disk utility... Can I get my info back?
    Thank you so much for any help

    In Disk Utility you need to see a volume or partition in addition to the drive.
    If all you see is the drive, then when you ejected it you proably corrupted the volume or partition on the drive.
    If that is true then your chances of getting anything back are slim at best.
    About the only thing I know that might work not is to send the disk out to a service for recovery. This is going to cost like $$$$.
    Is the data worth that much?

  • I had to reformat my hard drive on an older Desktop running Windowx XP. The IE browser is not working now. Is there a way I can download Firefox onto a flash drive from my new desktop and install it on my old desktop?

    I had to reformat the hard drive on my old desktop. It is runninf Windows XP. I can't get Internet Explorer to work so I can connect to the internet via wireless. Is there a way I can download firefox from my new desktop onto a flas drive and then install Firefox from the flash drive onto my old desktop? If so, please explain the procedure.

    Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
    Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
    Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
    However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either.
