Illustrator CS3 Trial

I was trying to download an CS 3 Trial version to see if and
how it'll open my Freehand MX Files. I thought this process was a
complete disgrace! I tried and tried and I still haven't a trial
version. The Process to register takes ages and just when u click
on download nothing happens. Has anybody got a working trial from
the Adobe site? Is there an alternative to Illustrator?
I doubt it since Corel has stopped doing Mac Software. Is
Quark Inc. doing anything to keep the market open and consumer
friendly? Probably not cause they sell the most expensive Program.
Why is it that people have to buy Software which is overpriced and
obsolete after 3 or 4 years?

Illustrator CS3 opens FH files surprisingly well. Some
effects and gradients are omitted but my test files had for example
all the text elements as they were in the original.

Where can I download Adobe Illustrator CS3 Trial version ?

Hi
I'd like to test Illustrator CS3 but I cannot find any download location on Google and here on Adobe website.
Could you give me the URL ?
Thank you very much.

For me, the real question is: Where can I download Adobe Illustrator CS3 version. I don't need a Trial Version I need the product itself, but I don't find anywhere to download it. I have my Software License Certificate, with Win Serial Number but I lost de CD, so it's simple: I want an URL to download it, install it and continue using the product.

Need illustrator cs3 trial download

HEY EVERYONE, I NEED A TRIAL OF ILLUSTRATOR CS3 BECAUSE MY BUDDY BOUGHT ILLUSTRATOR CS3 A WHILE AGO BUT HE NEVER USED IT SO I BOUGHT IT OFF OF HIM. WHEN CS3 WAS STILL OUT I DOWNLOADED A TRIAL AND INSTALLED IT BUT IT DIDN'T INSTALL ALL THE WAY SO I HAVE NO WAY OF REMOVING IT. I NEED THE TRIAL SO I CAN FINISH INSTALLING IT AND THEN UNINSTALL IT AND INSTALL THE ONE THAT I BOUGHT

At least it wasn't bold, Scott. Anyway have you tried the CS3 Clean Script from the Adobe site? This should get rid of any problem parts of a trial install.

Where can get Illustrator CS3 Trial?

I just re-installed XP but lost my Illy CS3 disk! I've got a record of my valid serial and was hoping to find a trial online and just enter my number. Unfortunately I can't find CS3 anywhere - only CS4. Using a CS3 Suite disk and installing just AI won't work either. Adobe says I'm SOL and says have to buy CS4. They say they have no trial versions of CS3 anywhere.(yah right)
Anyhow was wondering if someone had the downloaded CS3 trial (Illustrator only - not the Suite). I did but unfortunately it was on my XP that had to get wiped.

It Keeps telling me my trial is expired but I've never had illustrater before

Trial to Cd edition Illustrator CS3

Hi, i am new at this...I downloaded a trial of CS3 Illustrator. I now purchased the CD from Adobe for Illustrator CS3. Should I uninstall the trial or just add the serial number to the Trial edition to make it not a trial anymore. Thank you.

Cannot install trial PS CS3 : "Please insert Illustrator CS3 to continue installation"

Hi,
For school I need the Flash CS3, Illustrator CS3 and Photoshop CS3 software,
My teacher said it was convenient to DOWNLOAD and install the trial-software this weekend, so we can start the lessons properly on monday. Next week we will receive the keys to activate the software.
Now I have installed Flash and Illustrator, but when I try to install the Photoshop software, I get this :
http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/1808/afbeelding1yd5.png
The setup asks to insert the Illustrator CS3, but I don't have this because I downloaded the trial-software from the Adobe website..
Can anyone tell me what to do?
Thanks!
Mattias

Mattias,
First, I've never done trial downloads of any CS3 content. But there is no reason why a standalone version of Photoshop should be dependent upon installation of another Adobe application. Sounds like something is scrambled here.
But, something else comes to mind. What kind of licensing is this? Where is your teacher getting activation keys for the software?

Activate / Deactivate Illustrator CS3 - Volume License

Hi Guys,
Well to start this topic, I must say I have never received such poor support for software as I have "received" from Adobe Chat Support team..
The case is as follows;
We have a volume license for Adobe Illustrator CS3 and haven't used it since somwhere before 2010. In 2010 we have moved to another city with our company. Therewith also renewing all hardware for our stylists. For over 5 years we haven't used Illustrator CS3, so we never thought about de-activating the software before getting rid of the old hardware. Since a couple months we have a new manager on the styling department, whom wants to introduce Illustrator again. Since all the stylists will need to be trained again for Illustrator, we'd like to do this in the CS3 version before upgrading to CC or CS6.
So the issue that comes up, is that I cannot activate the software, because the serial number that I've received many years ago, when buying the volume license, has been used too many times. This is because it was never deactivated on the old hardware.
The only option I had was to contact Support via Chat or Phone. Since I like to keep track on what have been said by both parties, I decided to go for the chat option..
If any of the Adobe Staff is reading along, the case number is 0215516123.
In a nutshell; If you have a retail version of a discontinued product with adobe, they can reset the activation count without any problems. If you buy bulk and have volume license, it all comes to this; please upgrade to the latest version.. There is nothing we can do for you..
Here is the complete chat log with 2 employees of Adobe, who are just not willing to help in ANY way.. I must say this really tested my patience and counting to ten skills..
Still looking for a solution tho, so any help is appreciated highly!
Thanks in advance!

The issue I have is that from the 11 licenses that i've got, I got only 2 to activate
07:39:03

and thats probably because the old computers that we're phased out in 2010 had illustrator cs3 running on them. But since we didn't use it back then, we never thought about deactivating them.. Now the new styling manager wants to start working with Illustrator again, but I have the activation issue.

So you are facing issues with CS3 license , right?
07:52:49
ME:
yes I could only activate 2 of the 11
07:53:58
Deepti:
I would have loved to help you in getting these license activated however, we are not supporting CS3 anymore. This is a very old version of Creative suite that you have.
07:55:44
ME:
I know that, but it is a license we paid for and still are i title to use according to the license rights.. And as I said, we have the intention to upgrade them this year to the latest CC or CS6 version. But we need to start somewhere again and still have these licenses. I work for 3 companies in the group I work for. And 2 of them have all of the latest versions available. This company is a little behind on things, but we do need your help to get further..
08:03:06
Deepti:
I would have helped if it would have been cs6 or CC. This is an obsolete product and we are not supporting it anymore. You can refer to forums.
08:03:46
ME:
How will the forums help me on activating licenses.. I'm not asking for product support, I'm asking for license activation support, for licenses that we have paid for!
08:04:53
ME:
Clearly it is only some reset button you have to use to empty out the registration/activations from before 2010.
08:05:33
ME:
To show we are trying to keep up to date with licenses and latest versions you can see the volume licenses registered to
08:06:05
ME:
I really don't understand the mindset where you don't help out a paying customer
08:06:22
Deepti:
I am sorry but we don't have any reset button for volume licenses.
08:07:23
ME:
It was ment figurely.. There must be something you can do to help? I get the feeling that the support you are "giving" only means getting customers to pay more for the latest versions.
08:07:50
ME:
which as said we will upgrade somewhere this year.. But my stylists need training first
08:08:03
ME:
Hence thats what we need to activate them for right now
08:08:52
ME:
We paid for the license and are in title to use them.. But you are blocking that right now..
08:09:09
ME:
Which is totally outrageous
08:11:33
Deepti:
Yes you are entitled to use them. You have the serial key. You can install the product and use it till the time you want. It's just that Adobe has stopped providing support for obsolete versions.
08:12:49
ME:
I understand, but since I cannot activate them over the internet It only works for 30 days... The connection is fine, the serial is volume licensing.. But adobe says no sorry cannot activate because of too many activations.. And I only used 2 out of 11.. So please provide me a solution!
08:22:05
Deepti:
I am so sorry but there is nothing that I can do . I mean I don't have any deactivation button that I could use to deactivate the license for you.
08:23:22
ME:
So what happens when a customer has CS6 and the hardware was disposed of, on which CS6 was installed and wasn't deactivated? He buys new hardware and has the same problem as I currently have.. What do you tell that customer? I'm sorry there is nothing we can do for you? I really doubt that..
08:30:23
Deepti:
CS6 version is still in the support boundary hence, if there is any activation issue that you are facing with CS6 , we would be supporting you for that.
08:31:38
ME:
Wow.. I have never ever experienced such poor support for software as I have today with you from Adobe.. This is really dissapointing, especially if you spend that much money on licenses to be compliant..
08:32:26
ME:
So please tell me, what options do I have to make this work?
08:51:01
ME:
It would be appreciated if you can answer my question?
08:59:50
Deepti:
I am sorry but this is out of support boundary. You can refer to the forums , I am sure you will find some information related to the activation queries.
09:01:22
ME:
I am reading on the support forums that support of adobe needs to clear the current activations..
09:01:34
ME:
Only you @ adobe can do that
09:02:28
ME:
You should be able to tell me how many activations of the CS3 illustrator are currently done in the licensing portal
09:02:37
ME:
and you should also be able to clear them!

My vector drawings in illustrator cs3 look pixelated plz see screenshot

**** Notice the side of the girls hair its very serrated and somewhat blurry as well look down at her arm at the very bottom
I am using a mac os x version 10.5.8 and have been using Illustrator cs3 that I purchased for about 2 years and its never had this problem till now. I've just recently noticed a few days back that my vector drawings created in illustrator are looking serrated on the edges of my drawing, and this jagged serrated line goes all along the sides of the vector image and doesn't seem to go away when I zoom in or out......
And from what I know vector drawings created in illustrator can be resized and never pixelate but i don't know why its doing this.
I've searched online for all the possible remedies but nothing seems to get rid of that serrated line which makes my images look fuzzy on the sides.
I've made sure that I'm in preview and not pixel preview but that didn't work.
I went to my illustrator preferences to make sure that anti-aliasing is checked but that didn't seem to fix it either.
I went under the effects menu and clicked on Document Raster Effect Settings and changed that to 300ppi but that didn't do it either.
And also when I take my vector drawing from illustrator into photoshop, the serrated lines become more evident. I don't know what to do. The strange thing is that when i print the images out from my printer, the serrated edges don't show up.
But here's the thing: when I open up my past work that I created in illustrator when I wasn't having this problem, for some reason they are also now showing up with that serrated line on the edges, its really weird!!!!!
I've tried everything except for reinstalling the software, but just wanted to know if someone could help me before I tried this step or knew of something that might have gone wrong.
I also downloaded illustrator trial version cs5 today, and its doing the same thing as my illustrator cs3!!!!
Plz help!!!

I was experiencing the exact same thing in Illustrator CS5. There was a pixelated edge on a vector drawing that was showing up. At first I assumed it was an anti aliasing setting or pixel preview or document raster settings as you did. Then because all else failed I was about to assume it was a screen artifact or bug of some kind.
However, the upon further analysis I found the solution-and it was right under my nose. I had applied an effect to the vector object (an outer glow) and–because I was going to scale it down drastically from the size I had originally drawn it at –I had gone to the object menu and expanded the appearance of the object which caused my outer glow effect to become a rasterized shape underneath my original object.
To remedy this: I simply zoomed in on the pixlelated object, selected it, ungrouped it, selected the top vector object path, nudged it to the right–REVEALING THE RASTERIZED SHAPE BENEATH!
So I would reccomend you try two things:
First select the view menu and choose "Outline" (command or control Y), then look to see if you have any solid "blocks" -this could indicate a rasterizing of some sort has taken place underneath your vector objects. To get back to regular display just choose "overprint from the view menu.
Secondly, you could select the vector object that appears pixelated and then check in the "Appearance Panel" to see if an effect (such as a drop shadow or outer glow) has been applied ,possibly inadvertently. Because just the applying of an effect will cause a "pixelated, jaggy edge" when viewed at high zoom percentages, or indeed any resolution for that matter.
Hope this helps-

Illustrator CC Trial Crashes HELP!

Hi,
I download Illustrator CC trial 2 days ago and all seemed fine and I've been playing about getting to grips with it and I'm definitely going to purchase afterwards as I was so pleased with the results it was giving me. That was till I turned on my laptop today only to find that illustrator and the creative cloud programs had been deleted. I've been through every possible step on these forums to correct it. I finally managed to clear everything so I could re install adobe cloud and I downloaded my trial again for illustrator.
Then it decided that it would load up but immediately shut down and then ask me if I want to continue trial ... so obviously I said yes. Nothing loads up again!!
HELP ME!!! It worked for 2 days before without any problem. I have more than enough space on my computer and screen resolution.
I am so confused and a bit disheartened.

stephoney,
You may try to run the Cleaner Tool,
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
and then restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it.

Running Illustrator CS3 on Portable Hard Drive

I would like to run Illustrator CS3 (Windows) on a portable hard drive that can connect to different machines (so that I can work from home, go to friend's computer, etc). I've been able to do this with InDesign CS2 but it gives me an error message when I try it with Illustrator.
How can I get all of Illustrator to install on my portable hard drive?

Real-world example of what I mean by Adobe continually PUNISHING its most loyal repeat customers with its INFURIATING installation/registration/activation NONSENSE:
1. Last weekend, on this machine, I started seeing errors about AdobeFntLst. The errors instructed me to run chkDsk. I finished my work and shut down the machine.
2. At the next restart, Windows automatically launched chkDsk. I let it run its course. It automatically restarted the machine.
3. Blue screen. Could not get the computer to run, no matter what.
4. Formatted the C drive. Reinstalled Windows. Installed all Windows updates. Now have a clean and crisp running fresh install of Windows XP Professional.
5. Deep breath. Ready to install the hideous CS3 Master Collection.
This is a
very time-consuming install, so I have put it off until today (Saturday morning).
Insert the first DVD. Installer launches. Click install. Agree the license. Get the serial number screen.
Can't type the serial number. Think my keyboard is broken. But it works fine in other apps.
No explanation of this stupid behavior whatsoever is offered by the stupid installer, but I know what's going on: The stupid installer is looking for a copy of a CS app, because the Master Collection was bought as an upgrade from CS2 Premium--which was bought as an upgrade from CS Premium.
So I won't be able to install CS2 Premium either. I'll have to install CS Premium. Then CS2 Premium. Then the stupid CS3 Master Collection installer will let me type a serial number.
Or, I could (assumedly) install the CS3 Master Collection as a demo, hoping I can activate it after. But that disallows installation of some of the content on the disks. Do I want to do the version shuffle, and risk all the dangers of all the associated installers? Or do I want to install the CS3 Master Collection as a trial, hoping that I can then register and activate it, and then weed through the disks trying to find all the content that was disallowed?
How much of my money has Adobe acquired since I've been using its apps (dating back to Photoshop 1)?
Does ANY paying customer deserve this kind of abuse?

Illustrator CS3 not compatible with Vista

I downloaded the trial version of Illustrator CS3 because my previous program - Freehand, is not compatible with Vista. The Adobe site stated that Illustrator was capable of importing and editing Freehand files so I gave it a try.
Well, it does import the files with only a few minor font issues. BUT, when you try to SAVE or EXPORT it returns the error message: "can't save illustration". In other words, you can import, work, design, etc. but when it comes time to save or export your work, you can't. So the program is completely worthless.
Adobe should have made this bug or conflict clear before releasing the product with Vista compatibility and stating that it could import Freehand 9 files. What good is importing the files if you can't save them after making the changes?
I would caution anybody to wait until there is a patch or at least try the trial version before spending a lot of time and money on a program, only to find you can not save or export your work!

>I finished editing a project in 2.0 and installed CS3 to finish. Now when I try to render the project it crashes and then I when I restart all of my media is unlinked so I relink save, crash, repeat forever. I guess I need to reinstll 2.0 this CS crap isn't working for me.
I had a similar problem. I started a 60-minute documentary under Premiere 6.5 and finished it in Pro 2.0. Nightmares!
I thus recommend starting and finishing each project in one version. I also recommend that when you get a version of Premiere running well on a particular system and you want to upgrade, you build an entirely new system and upgrade on THAT sys. Keep the old system because you have possibly scores or hundreds of hours into getting it to work perfectly. Sell these old systems off as turn-key systems to editors that are less experienced and don't need the power (yet). I have been doing this and it works out well. I am also developing a chain of trainees who will someday be able to COMPLETELY TAKE OVER MY EDITING POST AND THUS RELEASE ME FROM THIS HELL (so I can go back to producing and directing).
