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

    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.

    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.

  • Adobe CS3 Design Standard for Mac - lost disks

    Hi!
    Situation: I'm buying a new mac, and do not want to use Migration Assistant to transfer my software (mainly as I'd like to do a clean install and not migrate a load of junk that may be on my older mac).
    I have lost my cs3 install disks. I'm a registered and licensed cs3 design standard user.
    I've looked at the forums and contacted Adobe.
    No replacement disks can be sent for legacy software, so Adobe cannot help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I dud see one post where a forum member offered assistance, but what the assistance/solution was I'm not sure as the discussion was closed/taken offsite.
    Someone had suggested downloading cs3 from a torrent site, but I'm not at all keen on doing that.
    Any suggestions or advice much appreciated, and yes, I'll take better care of my install disks in the future :o))).
    (In my defence, lame as it is, when I bought cs3, I did see they offered replacement disks for a fee. I didn't realise this was only for current software).
    Regards,
    Venkat

    CS3 is too old to run on a new Macintosh laptop, sorry. You'll have to purchase CS6 or a Creative Cloud subscription.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • CS6 design standard license PC MAC

    You need to contact Adobe directly and it will probably be an Upgrade to Creative Cloud.

  • 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.

  • 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:
    Sign in or activation errors
    Even if it's only for current products, the basic troubleshooting steps are the same...
