Have Mac version of Photoshop CS3 need Windows version

Thought I would post here and see if anyone had a Windows version of Photoshop CS3 that they would like to trade for my Mac version. Mine is the full version with the box and everything that came with it. It was installed and activated one time for less than a month.
I switched from the Windows version to this Mac version when I thought I was going to be on the Mac full time. Now my job requires a PC only so I need to switch back and Adobe says only one switch allowed :-(
I'll pay for all shipping, I'll even throw in my previous router that I just upgraded. It's a D-Link 624 4 port router, 802.11g.

Thanks in advance.

Leah,
Nothing personal. But please be aware that this forum is not Craig's List, the neighborhood swap meet or other trading venue. And there is just too much software piracy for us to take the time to properly vet your offer.
>It was installed and activated one time for less than a month.
Be aware that if you were to sell or trade your software privately, it's not a simple swap. You would have to properly deactivate and uninstall the software from your system, delete/destroy any copies, and provide proper paperwork to the new owner, including an Adobe letter of transfer of license, plus all original disks, etc., so that the new owner could properly register the software in his name and be entitled to all upgrades.
And be aware that its value may be an issue at this point, as Adobe will be announcing CS4 shortly. Some folks may wish to wait for CS4 rather than purchase CS3 now.
So I recommend that you simply contact Adobe customer service, explain your job situation, and request a crossgrade (essentially a platform swap). The cost is minimal and should not be a hassle for you.

    rebel1568,
    All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC.  You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
    CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop.  You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
    Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines.  You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
    Of course, you could run your Windows  on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.

    I have an original version of Photoshop CS3.  I run Windows 7 32 bit.  After an update of the operating system by MS, my Photoshop refused to work, whereas before the MS update, the software worked perfectly.  Please help.  Ernst

    Dear Sir,
    I have an original version of Photoshop CS3. I run Windows 7 (32 bit) on my PC.  After a recent (±2 months ago) update/upgrade by Microsoft of Windows 7 (32 bit) on my PC, I lost all functionality of the Photoshop software despite the fact that I have been running Photoshop CS3 on Windows 7 for the past 2 years without any problems. I uninstalled the software from my PC and tried to re-install it again.  It would not re-install.  After I press the software “setup” function to install the software, a window appears and a blue band runs across it, but then everything disappears from the screen again without leaving any message as to why the software would not install.
    I have been informed by Adobe Helpdesk that Photoshop CS3 does not run on the Windows 7 OS.  Due to previous experience that Photoshop CS3 had in fact run on my PC on Windows 7, I find it totally strange that I could not install the software again.
    In fact the, same version of Photoshop CS3 is currently running without any problems on my laptop under Windows 7 (64 bit).
    Please help if you can.
    Kind regards,
    Ernst Odendaal

  • When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an erro

    When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739" I have used the cleanup script included in Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer, and have removed all traces of Adobe apps including the beta versions and Acrobat 8 pro, and I still get the same error, how can I install this application? is there any way or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows?

    Hello everyone,
    I was having the same issue:
    "Setup Error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Quit."
    If you receive this error also, press Quit and follow these steps:
    1. Start
    2. Control Panel
    3. Administrative tools (in classical view)
    4. Event Viewer
    5. Application
    You will see something like this:
    Double-Click for error (emphasized by red color). I have an error like this:
    "Error 1327.Invalid Drive: E:\" if you have the same or e.g. Drive F:\ ir whatever letter, you should solve this problem extremely easy - just insert USB-flash into computer (it will launch as E\ or whatever disk) and than run installation again. It will work than.
    Setup doesnt start if disk is offline.

  • Help configuring Mac Pro for Photoshop CS3

    Hi all, this will be my 1st Mac and I'm hoping to get the proper configuration for using the Mac Pro with Photoshop CS3.
    Since I'm working with large photos (20" X 24" and even larger) and layers my main concern is speed. The Apple store lists five items in their suggested configuration, any suggestions for what upgrades I need to make will be greatly appreciated!
    Start building your Mac Pro with our suggested configuration:
    * Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon “Woodcrest” processors
    * 1GB memory (667MHz DDR2 fully-buffered DIMM ECC)
    * NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics with 256MB memory
    * 250GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive1
    * 16x double-layer SuperDrive
    thanks!!

    Well, with a $US5K budget you should be able get a decent configuration. From the Apple Store I would order…
    Mac Pro 2.66GHz 1GB RAM / 250GB HD
    ATi Radeon X1900 XT
    Apple 23" Cinema Display
    Bluetooth & Airport Extreme
    … which will cost $US3,726 leaving you plenty for your RAM and drives. I would add AppleCare although you can buy and activate this any time within your standard 1 year warranty period so by buy later you spread your costs.
    Now, with RAM I would either buy 4 x 1GB (giving you 5GB and costing approx. $US400) from the manufacturer of your choice else 4 x 2GB (giving you 9GB and costing approx. $US850). The most cost effective is probably the 4 x 1GB as you'll most likely not want more than 8GB RAM in any case.
    For your drives you have quite a bit of choice although you need to decide if you want to go RAID and what you're going to do with your backup and/or clone. Photoshop users require fast, small file, disk access which the Maxtor MaxLine Pro excels at and at $US99 each they're quite the bargain. Even though Seagate has chosen to discontinue this drive they're still the best boot/Photoshop drives in the 500GB size.
    However, looking larger (750GB or more) such as the Hitachi Deskstar/UltraStar, Western Digital SE16/RE2 or Seagate Barracuda 7200.11/ES.2 You'll find better performance overall simply through their larger sizes. Not to mention you'll be buying current model drives. Be aware that you should buy drives specifically for RAID use if you wish to go that way. It's not a good idea to use desktop class drives in RAID sets hence the two model choices for each manufacturer.

  • I have mac OS X, Photoshop CC 64 bit and and i would like to run 32 bit plugins.. How may I do this ?

    I have mac OS X, Photoshop CC 64 bit and and i would like to run 32 bit plugins.. How may I do this ?

    As said already by JJMack, you cannot do that.
    Photoshop CS6, CC & CC 2014 only install a 64-bit version on Mac OS.
    Photoshop CS5 installs a version that can launch in either 32 bit or 64 bit when you install on a 64-bit version of Mac OS (Mac OS X 10.5 or later). If you are using Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier, then Photoshop only installs the 32-bit version.
    Photoshop CS4 installs a 32-bit version only.
    64-bit OS benefits, limitations

  • Is it legal to download a free version of Photoshop CS3 and then use a serial number from elsewhere?

    I downloaded a version of Photoshop CS3, but they did not provide a serial number.  Without thinking, I looked up an appropriate serial number on the internet and typed it in, only to realize afterwards that what I had done might not be legal.  So my question is, is it legal to do this or not?

    Wait a minute ...if someone would be selling the serial number online why would he/she would make it public so that anyone can use.
    There are various keygen present online that can generate such kind of serial number but using them is stricly illegal.....without knowing the source it would be hard to tell.
    You can try and get is touch with the "Jeff Wright" , he is a Adobe employee who actively participate in forums....He can check that serial number and can let you know , is it legit or not
    also you can let us know the source from where you have got the serial number ...

  • Installing photoshop CS3 on Windows 7

    It works, but there are known problems with installation and use so you should consult the Adobe support forums. If you're trying to install it on a new PC, just get the latest upgrade package from Adobe. You'll get A LOT more out of the latest version than you would CS3 since CS3 doesn't support the newer technology and lacks hardware acceleration.

  • Does an OEM version of Photoshop CS3 bought from a reseller qualify to get the upgrade version of Lightroom 5?

    I wish to purchase Lightroom 5 at a discounted price and the upgrade version is attractive. I have an OEM version of Photoshop CS3 which I bought online downloaded from a reseller.  Is this OEM version accepted as eligible for the upgrade version?

    As an alternative to the OEM route, the Lightroom+Photoshop bundle deal at $10 per month is hard to beat assuming you are not opposed to software as a subscription.

    I think you mean Photoshop CS2.  Photoshop 2 is from around 1992.  The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
