How To De-activate and Transfer Photoshop CS3 Extended

I'm trying to de-activate my Photoshop CS3 Extended so I can uninstall it and reinstall it from my old XP computer to my new computer which is Windows 7 . There's supposed to be a tab for De-activate under the help menu but there isn't when I click on help. I have the box, Disc and license so reinstalling it should be easy if I can just get it de-activated. Thanks for any help.

Contact support to reset activations then simply install the program on your new machine.

Transfer Photoshop CS3 Extended from PC to Mac

Hi, I used to have a PC and now am using a Macbook pro. I used to have Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended on my PC but I haven't been able to figure out how to transfer the programme onto my new computer. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Jo

Your license is only valid for a Windows system and is too old to be swapped for a Mac. The only chance you will have is to install a Windows emulator on the Mac and see if CS3 is able to be installed thru that.

3d options missing in Photoshop cs3 extended

i have downloaded and intalled photoshop cs3 extended but i cannot see the 3D in the title bar can anyone tell me what has happened to it and how i can solve the problem.

CS3 was still available in Feb 2009. I know because I bought it from adobe at that time from their website. I have the same problem. It doesn't work. The support person told me it doesn't work in Leopard, which was the current OS for Macs. I'm thinking they shouldn't be selling the software if it doesn't work, but apparently they don't care.
Not only are you making very dubious claims, you are posting them in the wrong forum!

Error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" when starting Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended- XP Pro AMD; 2GB RAM

I have exhausted all known options thus far.
I started the Flexnet Licensing Service and restarted the system but the message continues to come up when lanching PS CS3 extended
After restarting computer the Flexnet Licensing Service stops again and goes into Manual mode. This also happens after a few minutes without restarting.
I also downloaded the Flexnet Licensing Recovery Kit from Adobe Support but the file stops after saying "please wait for a few moments.. ?"
I changed the setting as discribed for the Flexnt folder but the message continues to come up when PS Extended CS3 is launced.

What else is there to do. Please help me as what I can do so I can continue to use Photoshop CS3 Extended.
Thank you

I downloaded the clean Script file and followed the instructions from what the Clean Script read Me file described. The first step said to deactivate. Although I was not able to deactivate because of my original message, I followed the remaining steps.
After using the Clean Script and uninstalling Photoshop CS3 Extended and re-installing it I re-booted my computer. I also deleted the CS3 Application data files.
When I installed PS CS3 Extended the installer does not ask for the serial number on all attemps. I bought a registered copy of PS CS3 Extended. Is there another way to approch this licensing error.
Thanks.

Can't unlock background layer using Photoshop CS3 Extended

I installed CS3 a few days ago (though I'm an experienced CS2 and Photoshop 6 user) and opened Photoshop CS3 Extended today for the first time.
The problem I'm having is with unlocking the background layer. I read in the documentation and on the Net about double-clicking and renaming the layer (which is what I did in other versions), or creating a new file with a transparent background, but those things aren't working for me in this version.
I opened a tiff file (a logo I want to use as the basis for a new image) but I can't unlock the background layer so I can copy, manipulate or add to it. Everything on the Layers drop-down menu is grayed out, as are the word Lock: and the symbols following it in the Layers window.
I tried creating a new image but when File|New dialog box opens the option to use transparent in the Background Contents dropdown is grayed out, too.
I'd appreciate some help with this.
Thanks,
Peggy

The issue has to do with the mode that you are in. If it is a TIFF or GIF file that you are opening, when you click on "Image -- Mode" you are likely to see "Indexed Color..." with a checkmark next to it. Be sure to select "RGB Color." Once you have done that, you can simply double-click the background layer in the layers palette to unlock the image.

How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer

How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer. I cannot find the original documentation with serial number etc

For downloads of CS3 see THIS thread.
For your serial number, if Photoshop is still running on your old machine;
Start Photoshop. Goto Help > System Info. Buried in amongst all the stuff in there will be your serial number. Read through it carefully.
If Photoshop is not installed / running on your old machine, then you are indeed pretty much hosed.
This is always assuming software that old will run successfully on a new machine, of course.

Cannot Activate Photoshop CS3 Extended???

Hi,
I cannot activate my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, after coming across a previous thread regarding this issue (Re: CS3 Retail Box. Key Won't Work) I contacted support but after 3 representatives they all claim to not be able to validate the keys (despite one still being in use on my wife's laptop!). I just want to deactivate the keys from the previous 2 PCs so I can install them on my newer machines, my old pc has been formatted without deactivation so I cannot do it myself and I am scared to deactivate the other copy as It seems I will not receive any support in reactivating it.
Here is a complete conversation with one of the 3 support representatives I have spoken to regarding this issue:
Thank you for contacting Adobe.
A representative will be with you shortly.
Thank you for your patience.
While you wait, you can try our community forums where experts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You are now chatting with Vijet.
Vijet: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
mike stripling: Hi, I have here 2 keys for Adobe Photoshop CS3 extended edition which are telling me there is too many activations on them
Vijet: Hi Mike,In order to assist you in a better way can i have your Name your Email id and your Phone number please.
mike stripling: one of them was on a pc which has been formatted without deactivation and the other is on my wife's laptop which also needs deactivation as that will be formatted soon
mike stripling: Mike Stripling, [email protected] and I'm not sure which phone number it would be under
mike stripling: (it was registered 7 years ago)
mike stripling: I have spoken to two previous representatives who claim my keys are not valid yet after downloading cs3 from your website instead of installing from a disc it says for both keys that there are too many pcs using them at the moment
Vijet: Can you please provide me with the Serial Number for your Photoshop CS 3
mike stripling: [removed] & [removed]
mike stripling: Your previous representatives claimed this did not show on their system
mike stripling: but when I put it in photoshop it claims there are too many pcs using those keys
mike stripling: I can screenshot this if necessary
Vijet: Sorry to say Mike but the Serial Number you are giving me are invalid one's.
mike stripling: No they are not.
mike stripling: Why else would I get a big green tick and a page showing 'too many activations'
Vijet: Please allow me a moment while I look into your account and see why are you having this issue.
mike stripling: Ok.
mike stripling: I also found this support thread with your adobe staff responses on this issue which may be relevant: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491813
mike stripling: "CS3 can not be activated any more as it is end of life product, you can contact Adobe Support at Adobe - Contact Support – Download and Installation to know how to proceed for it & know about the options if there are any. Regards Rajshree"
Vijet: The serial number you are giving me are not the valid one,i have looked into my resources.
mike stripling: https://i.imgur.com/GRdHQmc.png
mike stripling: then why do I get this?
Vijet: May be Mike the Photoshop we are talking about is CS 2 not CS 3?
mike stripling: the screenshot I just linked is cs3 and the disc with the serial numbers, box etc all says adobe photoshop cs3 extended
Vijet: Because end of life of the product you are saying it's for CS 2 products not for the CS 3.
mike stripling: your staff post says cs3 as well
mike stripling: clearly stated in this thread https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491813
Vijet: Allow me a minute let me look into it.
Vijet: From where did you purchased it?
mike stripling: It was years ago, but I believe amazon or something
mike stripling: I don't have the purchase order saved, who would save that for 7 years? :S
Vijet: Sorry to say Mike i wont be able to help you with this.

i am not an adobe employe and not an adobe spokesperson.
but my guess is it appears to adobe as if those keys have been 'hacked'. ie, published somewhere publically, used by others and are now blacklisted.

How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.

We are on BW 3.5 and I'm loading data into the 0FIGL_O10 ODS and then uploading the data into the cube 0FIGL_C10. The data loads just fine to the ODS but when I try to 'update the data target' I get a date & time stamp' error on the info-package transfer rules.
I then Replicate the datasource 80FIGL_O01.
I must then 'activate' the transfer rules.
However I cannot get the transfer rules for 80FIGL_O10 in CHANGE MODE to activate them.
How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.
The error text is as follows:
DataSource 80FIGL_O10 has to be replicated (time stamp, see long text)
Message no. R3016
Diagnosis
DataSource 80FIGL_O10 does not have the same status as the source system in the Business Information Warehouse.
The time stamp in the source system is 02/15/2007 10:42:33.
The time stamp in the BW system is 11/07/2006 13:11:54.
System response
The load process has been terminated.
Procedure
Copy the DataSource again and then activate the transfer rules that belong to it. You have to activate the transfer rules in every case, even if they are still active after the DataSource has been copied.
Thanks for your assistance.

How do I activate an old Photoshop CS that's no longer supported

I have an old version of the Adobe CS (first generation) that's no longer supported by Adobe. I'm still using it on a desktop. But I just bought a new computer today and wanted to install this over to the new desktop. It prompts me to register that product but that link doesn't work anymore. I asked Adobe through the Chat line and was told they don't support this old serial number anymore. How do I activate an old Photoshop CS that's no longer supported? Anyone?

Thanks. I installed Photoshop CS2 and ran the program. It prompts to me Register. After I did, it tells me Registration is Complete. But when I close the program and reopen it again, it prompts me again! If I click Do Not Register, the box disappears but then reappears again when I reopen the software! It's quick annoying. But I guess if there's no way around it, I may have to live with it!
I should start saving up for the next CS version....

Having problems uninstalling and running Photoshop CS3

I downloaded the trial for Adobe Photoshop CS3 and it has now expired. I tried to uninstall it but it does nothing. It will not come off my computer. If I try to open it, it tells me
The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support. I tried redownloading and reinstalling it but it still does the same thing and customer support after waiting on hold for 10 minutes for someone to answer, just sent me here.
How do I get rid of this program???
Also now that this is there, I can't run my CS2. It tells me my settings have changed and I need to reactivate but it won't let me reactivate apparently I guess it's been activated too many times (the first computer I had it on crashed and so I had to reinstall it on this computer I am using now) So now because of whatever is wrong with this CS3 I can never again use my CS2. I don't want to repurchase it, what do I do??

In reference to Lynley Stanley, I too am having the exact problem. I downloaded as for my class of Animation and Visual Effects at the Academy of Art University while waiting for my software to come in the mail from Academic Superstore. I am so frustrated about this that such an issue has caused so much madness. In the process of trying to remove Adobe Photoshop CS3 from my Windows Vista I was searching for info on how to uninstall as I was in a hurry to uninstall the program because my 4th week into class started using the program as students are expected to follow along having their own for assignments. Well, now I'm behind and I don't want to fail because of something that is causing the problem as I'd like to call intentional. In the process of trying to figure a way to uninstall fast as not to fall behind and fail in class I downloaded Perfect Uninstaller but I don't know how it will work. Now in reference of trying to quickly uninstall just to keep up with class, that will not be possible, so now I had to take time to look online knowing I'm falling more and more behind because of this difficult matter I finally found this and hopefully I'll be going somewhere as to have the problem corrected. Alright, now I'm going to try with what has been listed. Thank you for the Info. :)

Final Cut and Photoshop CS3 extended

I've searched google and had no luck with this whatsoever.
I've opened an exported video sequence into Photoshop CS3 extended. (MOV, HDV 1080i60) In FCP6 the sequence had a time code of 0:02:03 whereas in Photoshop CS3 it is recognized as 0:02:02. It seems as if Photoshop is dropping a frame. Regardless, looking over my original MOV and the open Photoshop document I only have 51 total frames.
This looks like Photoshop and FCP6 see frames differently. When I export my video from Photoshop, Quicktime sees all 51 frames still there. When I pull the video back into FCP6 the timecode for the sequence is now 0:02:02 (just like Photoshop sees it) and it drops the last frame.
The frame is there! I can see it when I go over the video in Quicktime. For some reason FCP6 is refusing to show that last frame and will only display a timecode of 0:02:02 for that clip!
What am I to do? How do I get FCP6 to show that last frame?
Thanks heaps, in advance.

"I've opened an exported video sequence into Photoshop CS3 extended. (MOV, HDV 1080i60)."
do you mean you've imported an Image Sequence (movie exported from FCP as individual image files eg- tiffs)...
"In FCP6 the sequence had a time code of 0:02:03 whereas in Photoshop CS3 it is recognized as 0:02:02."
Where in Photoshop are you reading timecode??? Or are you just counting the individual images?
"It seems as if Photoshop is dropping a frame. Regardless, looking over my original MOV and the open Photoshop document I only have 51 total frames."
If the original movie was at 1080i60, and your clip is 02 seconds and 2 frames, that would imply you should have at least 60 images (29.97 (drop-frame?) / 30fps x 2 seconds)
"This looks like Photoshop and FCP6 see frames differently. When I export my video from Photoshop, Quicktime sees all 51 frames still there. When I pull the video back into FCP6 the timecode for the sequence is now 0:02:02 (just like Photoshop sees it) and it drops the last frame."
Now i'm really confused...
"The frame is there! I can see it when I go over the video in Quicktime. For some reason FCP6 is refusing to show that last frame and will only display a timecode of 0:02:02 for that clip!"
Yup... you got me... I have no idea... I think there is a non-dropped-frame timecode conflict in the Image Sequence(?) export from FCP and way PS is interpreting these images...
I have the good fortune of working in PAL-land, so I'm not too knowledgeable on what i think is your problem... hopefully someone from NTSC-land will chip in and help you out.

If by "unpurchased" you are referring to music that you obtained from CDs or other sources, you will have to restore the music from your backup or some other device such as a smartphone or music player.
