Installing a copy of CS3 on a new computer - without CD copy?

Hello,
Just purchases a new 2012 iMac - however two troubles i do not have the original CS3 copy of the CD (due to house fire) also the iMac does not come with a cd/dvd drive. I am wanting to install Design Standards CS3 on my new iMac.
I am also interested in updating to CS6 - read about the offer that expires before dec 31, 2012.
I am excited to start designing on my new computer and would love some support on how to download CS3 / maybe update to CS6.
I have installed one copy of this product on my laptop before.
Please let me know,
Thank you
Jenna

Hi Jenna,     You can download the trial versions from this below URL and use your serial number to activate it..    http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here. html Read the instructions before starting the download.
However, I'm afraid if CS3 is compatible on your new iMac. Adobe has not tested CS3 on New iMac. If it doesn't you can upgrade to CS6 within 31st of December, 2012. Regards,Jairaj

  • Installing an existing CS5 software on a new computer, without CD drive

    I am going to install ps5 on a new computer, but it is no CD drive on the new. I was thinking to download CS5 from Adobe, but I cannot find it. Anyone who knows how to do it?

    Please download the setup again from Internet and keep a copy of it for future use.
    http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    Please download both files, Navigate to the directory where you saved the installation files and double-click the .exe(file1), this would extract the Ps CS5 installation files.
    After the files finish extracting, the installer launches automatically. If it doesn’t, go to the folder that contains the extracted files. Double-click Set-up.exe to begin installation.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to install
    When prompted for a serial number, enter your serial number and complete the installation.
    Follow the instructions mentioned carefully.

  • Trouble installing Photoshop CS3 on a new computer with Windows 8.1

    I tried to install it but strange things happened. It shows up on the install/uninstall list but not on the desktop or My PC. I found CS3 on my new computer by accident when I called up an unrelated file. The computer wants me to take CS3 on a 30 day trial, which I don't need. When trying to upgrade my CS3 the computer does not let me indicate I am upgrading from CS3, only C or C2. Please advise. David Hayward.

    Divad I would recommend removing the current installation and reinstalling.  You can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS3 products.

  • Cannot install CS3 on my new computer

    hi, i cannot install CS3 on my new computer due to the fact that i did not deactivate is on my old laptop. to which i dont have acces any more.. can anyone help finding a solution?

    Have you tried installing it or are you just assuming you cannot.  You are normally allowed to install and activate on two machines.
    You will need to contact Adobe support thru chat in order to get assistance with deactivating the inaccessible installation.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • Getting Photoshop CS3 on my new computer

    Is it possible to download a copy of CS3 to my new computer?

    Hi kejj5564,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    You can try installing it if is compatible with your new computer
    http://www.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/software/creativesuite/mastercollection/systemreqs. html
    You should have the installer as well as the serial number.
    The best option would be to upgrade to Creative Cloud, check for the options here

  • I had downloaded and used Final Cut Pro 7 (studio 3) on my mac, but it died. Can I download it to my new computer without buying a new copy? I'm not sure of the number of installations for academic copies. How would I do this?

    AH...good. 
    There is no limit on the times you can install it from the DVDs. There's just a limit as to being able to run it on multiple machines AT THE SAME TIME. If your old computer dies, or you sell it (please reformat the drive so they don't get FCP for free), then you can install on a new computer fine.  And you are allowed to install on (1) desktop and (1) laptop at the same time as well...but only use it on one machine at any given time. Meaning you can use it on the desktop at work, and then when away from the office, on your laptop.
    Long story short...you can install it fine without any issues.

    If your two activation are in use you need to call Adobe. Install CS3 to to point of activation and call Adobe at that point.  They have help me in cases like your My Disk crashed and I replaced it. Could not deactivate the crash activation.  I done that twice over the years I've been using  PS for around 20 years
    To see your key you need to click on the product in your Adobe products and services page.

  • I just bought a new computer without a disc drive. How can I download my CS3?

    I just bought a new computer without a disc drive. How can I download my CS3?

    Still not working. I need step by step instructions... I'm trying to follow the ones on the link as best I can but after I install the Adobe Download Assistant, log into Adobe and then click on the file 1 hyperlink and begin download for CS3 Adobe Illustrator, it downloads to my desktop. Then when I open it it says the following- see screen shot saying "setup" cant be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
    Additionally, Creative Suite is not feautred on this screen after I have signed int Adobe with my ID. See screen shot below.
    Thanks,

    Have purchased a new computer and want to install the Adobe 9 standard product I purchased in 2014 onto this new computer.  I don't see anywhere to download Adobe 9 STANDARD, only Pro.  Help !!

    Moving this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update Issues forum.
    Pdurr0426 if you received the software on CD then please copy the installation files to a USB drive on a computer which does have an optical drive.  You can then install from the USB drive on the new computer.

  • 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.

    Hello,
    I bought the Creative Cloud softwares and installed them on my former computer (which is unfortunately dead...). My license is still activated but I can't find how to download them on my new computer without buying them another time.
    Thanks for your help.
