Is CS 3 Design Standard download available anywhere?

I purchased an Imac with CS 3 Design Standard pre-installed and did not receive the installation discs from Apple. 2 weeks ago the hard drive failed and now I need to reinstall CS 3. For the past 2 weeks, I've been in contact with every dept at Adobe and Apple.
Customer service, technical support nor the sales dept at Adobe is able to provide the download or the media. Apparently, it disappeared from the server when CS 4 became available.
I've even had the suggestion from Adobe to find the software from someone else and use my serial numbers to register.
Will this work?
Does anyone have the media for CS 3 Design Standard that I could borrow to install on my system?

The suggestion will work, but we are not a trading post. Please contact Adobe Customer Service and ask to speak with a supervisor. For a fee they should be able to send you replacement DVDs.

  • Is there a CS5 design standard download available?

    I recently purchased a computer with no disc drive and would like to download CS5.  Is there a way to do this?

    Download the trial version from http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first BEFORE you click the download link.
    Install the trial and enter your serial number to license it on your computer.

  • Adobe CS3 Design Standard download link please!

    Adobe CS3 Design Standard download link please!

    if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • Can't access CS6 Design Standard download

    I can find the weblink without any problem but once Adobe Download Manager enters the picture it all goes to the dogs! Design Standard is not an available option.
    I already have a license for it and following the theft of the only machine I have it installed on I need to download the installer to re-install on the replacement machine
    I'm using Mac OS 10.8.2 and navigating to the download in Safari. I'm then prompted to download, install and open the Download "Assistant" which requires a login. I've logged in with the same Adobe ID that shows me the license

  • CS6 Design Standard download

    Hi,
    I purchased CS6 Design Standard (student licensing) and got my serial number. But I cannot figure out how to download it from the website.
    I am trying to install on Macbook Air, which does not have a disc drive.
    I tried to download from
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    but clicking the button does nothing...
    Thanks,
    Ed

    If you can, try using a different browser.
    You can also try to download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

  • Why is Design Standard not available?

    The Design Standard bundle is unavailable in the Adobe Download Assistant. Why?

    Thanks, worked like a charm. (I appeared that I had to try again after installing the tool.)

  • Where can I find the CS5.5 Design Standard download?

    I already have my serial number from Adobe. All I see available for download is the Premium version.

    Assuming you purchased from Adobe directly the following steps should allow you to download your software.
    Log in to your Adobe account to download your software.
    Go to the Adobe Store for your country and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
    Click My Orders and then My Order History.
    Locate the order number, and click the Download link in the Downloads column.
    Start the download by doing one of the following:
    Click Download and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Click Akamai Download Manager and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Click Alternate Download Method, and then click the .7z and .exe files (Windows) or the .dmg file (Mac OS) to download the software to your computer.

  • CS design standard download install won't work

    Adobe support gave me the link to download DesignStandard CS5 on my mac.  I downloaded it and now when I try to install, it give me an error. (Install can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer).

    Hi Panacea,
    This error is due to MAC security settings "Gatekeeper". You can follow the article: OS X: About Gatekeeper and makes required changes to the setting and try again it will work.
    Let us know in case of any issues.
    Thanks,

  • Where to download CS4 Design Standard?

    Anyone know where to download Creative Suite 4 Design *Standard*?
    It gets its own product page here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/designstandard/
    But the "Try" links all point to Creative Suite 4 Design *Premium*. Not sure why that is.
    I'm a paid/registered user of the former, but my serial number doesn't work in the latter, even just to unlock whatever features come with Standard.

    me a new serial number but without installing application file,I had been seeking for more than a week for CS4 Design Standard
    set-up file or download link and I am still do not get any of those.
    Thank you

  • Design Standard does not appear in the options

    I have downloaded the application manager from the Design Standard downloads on the website, but when it installs and runs, Design Standard is not in the applications available. Only Premium, Master and the individual applications. Where is and how do I download and install the Design Standard suite?

    I'm having the same problem.  What you suggest does not work.  I've done it exactly like this and no download. 
    Design CS6 standard is not an option.  And initiating from the web page: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=design_standard does not cause download to happen autopmatically.  Please provide a real solution.
    I'm on new macbook pro using safari.

  • 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!
    – Miina

    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).
