Installing CS3 on a new computer

I have bought a new iMac that does not come with a CD drive. I need to install CS3 that is running on my old G4 computer. I have tried copying the applications over on a memory stick but this doesn't work. So how can I install?

  • 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...

  • How do I install CS3 on my new computer?

    Hello:
    I hope this message finds you well.  Our company is replacing all of the workstations and I need to install my copy of CS3 on my new computer.  The original installation was a download so I do not have installation discs.  Are there any instructions available on how to do this?
    Thank you in advance for any guidance.

  • How do I install CS3 on a new computer using my CS3 install disk?

    The installation process for CS# says my Page Maker 6.5 serial number is incorrect even though the product lists it.

    You’ll need to call Adobe for this. Nobody here can help with that type of issue.
    Try an online chat first.

    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

  • 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.

  • Installing Photoshop CS3 on a new computer.

    I am about to buy a new PC (old one too slow for Photoshop CS3). As I have already installed CS3 on my old computer, will I have any problem installing it from the same CD on to my new machine? (As CS3 cost more than the computer, I obviously don't want to have to buy a fresh copy)

    deactivate the old copy (in the help menu) before installing the new one.

  • I have an old version Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. I uninstalled it from my old computer and was trying to install it on my new computer. It copied all the files but I cant open them and it doesn't ask me for my registration info, which I have.

It copied all the files but I cant open them and it doesn't ask me for my registration info, which I have.  What shall I do to get Adobe up and running?

    when you were install your cs3 you should have been prompted for you serial number.  were you?
    if not, you probably didn't properly install cs3.  copying/migrating/moving etc is problematic.
    if yes, did you see any error messages during installation?
    if yes, attach a screenshot of the error message.
    if not, check you install logs, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC

    you may as well install the later lr 5.7.1 rather than 5.6 and then updating.

    Hi, I need to activate my Adobe CS3 on a new computer because my old one died and I'm having difficulty. Tried the normal registration way and then logged in with my Adobe ID and can see the software and activation code already registered. How to get it on my computer registered?

    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.

  • 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
