Installed, licensed, and working Creative Suite CS3 fails.  How do I clean Adobe off my system for new installation?

I run Macbook Pro with Mavericks.  I have a licensed copy of Creative Suite CS3 installed.  It simply stopped working.  InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator close upon opening.  Tried repairing the installation, uninstalling, and reinstalling.  Didn't work. The reinstallation did no provide an opportunity to enter the serial number. Tried CS5cleaner.  Didn't work.  It left the applications installed and deleted the uninstall application.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The system requirement for CS3 is :
Macintosh
PowerPC® G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor (Adobe Premiere® Pro, Encore®, and Soundbooth™ require a multicore Intel processor; Adobe OnLocation™ CS3 is a Windows application and may be used with Boot Camp)
Mac OS X v.10.4.9; Java™ Runtime Environment 1.5 required for Adobe Version Cue® CS3 Server
1GB of RAM for DV; 2GB of RAM for HDV and HD; more RAM recommended when running multiple components
24GB of available hard-disk space to install all core components (up to 1GB of additional free space may be required during installation); custom installing select components requires less space
Dedicated 7,200 RPM hard drive for DV and HDV editing; striped disk array storage (RAID 0) for HD; SCSI disk subsystem preferred
Core Audio compatible sound card
1,280x1,024 monitor resolution with 32-bit video card; Adobe recommended graphics card for GPU-accelerated playback
For OpenGL support: Some 3D features in Photoshop CS3 Extended require an OpenGL 1.4 capable graphics card with at least 64MB of VRAM; Adobe After Effects® supported OpenGL 2.0 card (NVIDIA recommended)
DVD-ROM drive
Blu-ray burner required for Blu-ray Disc creation
SuperDrive required for DVD burning
QuickTime 7.1.5 software required to use QuickTime features
Internet or phone connection required for product activation
Broadband Internet connection required for Adobe Stock Photos* and other services
Please compare it with your system specification.

  • Creative Suite CS3 installation errors

    Hello,
    I have installed my copy of Creative Suite CS3 several times on my PC. However, recently my PC was hit with a virus. I reinstalled Windows XP/SP2. When I now try to install Creative Suite, I get errors every time.
    I've tried to install it now five times. The message that I'm getting is similiar to "component installation failed". (I'm recalling the message from memory.) I'm trying to put Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Fireworks and Dreamweaver on my machine, but this error appears with every application I attempt to install.
    I'm not aware of any error log that Adobe is keeping with the installation process.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? thanks.

    Adobe customer support has kindly provided me this KB article:

    I'm going to go through these steps this weekend.

  • OLD Adobe Creative Suit CS3 version Access along with Current Membership

    I have purchased Adobe CC. is it possible, I can keep copy of Adobe Creative Suit CS3 in my PC along with Adobe Creative Cloud ?
    Along with same membership, will I have OLD versions access free ?
    If yes, From where I can download CS3 Suit ?

    To my knowledge there is currently only access to CS6 versions of Creative Suite products if you have a full Cloud subscription.  I don't know/think that they will be offering access to any others.  If older versions do become available as part of a Cloud subscription then they would be downloaded thru the Cloud interface just as the CS6 versions are now.

  • Can I install my company's Creative Suite on my home computer (will only be used by me at work and a

    Hi all,
    My understanding is that we are allowed to install one licensed version of Creative Suite software (or any Adobe software) on 2 machines. And so right throughout my creative career, I have always been able to install the software on my machine at home too for those times I need to work from home, even tho' it is registered under the company's name, with the company owning the license.
    I just want to verify that this is indeed the case as I am moving to a new company and they seem to feel uncomfortable about my installing it on my machine at home because they own the license...
    So my question is, are you not allowed to install it on TWO machines (the work machine and the home machine) as long as it is being used by ONE person only?
    (I thought I'd ask here at the Adobe forums just to make absolutely sure:)
    Thanks a lot for your help in advance:)
    Best regards,
    Christine

    Yes, you can install and use the software on the 2nd machine so long your new company owns the license, the software is used but the same person who is using the primary installation (that is, you).

  • I have a license for Creative Suite CS3 and bought an upgrade for CS5 a few years later. Would the original serial number for CS3 be the same for my CS5 version?

    I have a license for Creative Suite CS3 and bought an upgrade for CS5 a few years later. Would the original serial number for CS3 be the same for my CS5 version?

    No... if you do not have CS3 installed, you will enter your CS3 serial number when asked for proof of a qualifying product... and then you will enter your different CS5 serial number... every version, new or upgrade, has a unique serial number

  • Installing and activating Creative Suite 6 Design Standard on two computers?

    Hello!
    I purchased Creative Suite 6: Design Standard as a physical copy (with a CD) about a couple of years ago. I've installed it on my iMac, but now that I purchased a Mac Book Pro, I'd also like to install the package on the laptop. My new Mac Book Pro 13" with Retina display does not have a CD/DVD drive.
    First of all, is it possible to have an Adobe package installed and activated on two computers simultaneously?
    I tried to download the Creative Suite 6 from the Downloads on Adobe website and activate it on my laptop with the serial number that I received when I purchased the product, but the serial number did NOT work. It says "The serial number you entered is invalid." Does this problem occur because the serial number is in use on the Creative Suite, which is installed and activated on my iMac?
    Is there another way to download + install + activate the package on my laptop? Obviously without a CD/DVD drive I cannot use the physical installation CD that I purchased.
    Thanks for help in advance, I really appreciate it!

    Hello!
    Thanks for the reply. I've been looking into this problem more but haven't been successful in solving it. Getting a bit frustrated with this!
    The serial number seems to be the issue.. I don't know why it won't go through. Do I need a different serial number to activate a Creative Suite 6 Design Standard downloaded from the Adobe website? I used the same serial number that can be found on the back of the product box that I purchased a couple of years ago. So far I have installed and activated my product only with my iMac, and now attempting to activate it with my Mac Book Pro, so the problem is not that it's been activated too many times.
    When I finally do manage to activate this software also on my laptop, do I have to deactivate and activate it every time I wish to switch from one computer to the other? Is there a limit to how many times it can be activated/deactivated?
    Thanks again for your help!
    P.s. I also consulted this person https://forums.adobe.com/people/Nikhil%20Bisne (not sure if he is around, though) on my issue, because he was able to help somebody with a similar issue here: Re: Invalid Serial Number . The difference being that this person was activating their software for the first time, I'm trying to activate it a second time on a different machine (while still keeping the software activated on the first machine).

  • Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Are you talking about adobe creative cloud? 
    If you are, the Adobe Creative Cloud give you most of Adobe's tools (and all that most would need) to do anything.  I will warn you about this though, is that it is a subscription, and you are basically renting it.  that means you really do not own it.
    About the hard disk space, all Adobe apps seem to take up at least a GB (and this does not matter if you get the master collection or the Creative Cloud).  so ether way, it will take some space. 
    Also, if you want to try-before-you-buy, you can go to creative.adobe.com, and get a free account and try out all of he adobe apps available for creative cloud.  The best part of it, your apps will be updated to CS7 (if or when it comes out) instead of buying the apps again in your subscriptions.  if you need even more information, you can go to adobe's site to find out more (www.adobe.com)

  • Creative Suite CS3 and InDesign CS4 Issues

    Hi,
    I'm hoping this is the right place to post. I installed parts of Creative Suite CS3 on my system (just the basics, PS, ID, Illustrator, etc.).
    Later on I just got Photoshop CS4 and Installed that.
    Now, months later, I want to instally the rest of CS 3 on my system, yet half way through Disk 1, it ejects the disk and asks me to install the InDesign CS4 disk. I don't have InDesign CS4! I did install the trial version but then uninstalled it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    A,
    Uninstall anything CS4 (use Adobe's uninstaller; do not just drag to trash). Install your CS3 components; then install Photoshop CS4 again. It would seem there is either some dependence upon certain components shared by both versions; or maybe it's the way some data is transfered behind the scenes from one version to the other.
    Remember to repair permissions and run DiskWarrior to fix any permissions, disk or directory issues that sometimes crop up.
    On a slightly different note, on my well-maintained system, I had the Master Collection CS3 on my Mac; then installed the Master Collection CS4. When I recently decided to uninstall most of CS3 (per instructions), I found that for a few CS4 apps, I had to enter my password the first time I launched them. But Photoshop would tell me some scripts were missing, and the solution was to uninstall Photoshop CS4 and reinstall it.
    Go figure!

  • Adobe creative suite cs3 design premium

    Hi there,
    I've recently bought the new macbook pro (10.9.2) and was wondering if the ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE CS3 DESIGN PREMIUM software would still work on the new laptop? If anybody could help me, it would be most appreciated.
    Regards,
    Amy

    I just had a look at some of the Adobe CS3 products at Roaring Apps (http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a) and it seems that most of the apps in the CS3 Design Premium Suite will, surprisingly, work with Mavericks.
    Not you'll just have to find a way to install it (unless you're restoring from a backup - in which case you'll probably still need your activation code).
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • ARCHIVOS DE EJEMPLO DEL CREATIVE SUITE CS3

    Hola
    Tengo el Creative Suite CS3 y estaba siguiendo los tutoriales del video que viene incluído y hay un link para descargar los archivos de ejemplo o como dice en la interface, el archivo base. Pues bien le das click y direcciona a una página que ya no está. Alguien sabe donde poder descargarse los esos archivos de ejemplos?, los tutoriales están bien pero lo bueno sería poder seguirlos con los ejemplos.
    Gracias

    I am having this same issue returning the error message:
    AMT Subsystem Failure
    The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call support.
    I have run through all suggestions I could find in this forum and others with no luck. Including this article: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402004&sliceId=2.
    I have restarted the FLEXnet Licensing server but still get error when I attempt to open any cs3 app.
    All CS3 programs were running fine until last week on Vista. Please help!

    after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace
