Ive got Master Collection CS3 on pc i've new got a Mac can i change my serial number to work on my mac ?

Hello,
I have Adobe Master Collection CS3 on my Pc and i've just brought a Apple Mac so is there any way i can deactivate it on my pc and reinstall it to my MAC?

Hi stash152,
You cannot use a Windows version of Master Collection CS3 on a Mac.
The platform swap policy is applicable for the latest version of the softwares and inapplicable for the older version.
Please refer the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l
I would suggest purchasing a subscription to the Creative Cloud as the new Mac you bought has Mavericks OS which has not been tested with CS3 and you might face compatibility issues.
The latest Creative Cloud version of the softwares are perfectly compatible with the latest Mac OS (Mavericks).
Regards,
Rave

  • Got a new motherboard, My Creative Suite thinks it's a new computer. Can't register my serial number, because it can't connect to the internet. Internet works fine. What do I do?

    Got a new motherboard after my PC crashed, because my old one was defect. Now my Creative Suite thinks it's a new computer. I can't register my serial number, because it can't connect to the internet, but internet works fine. What do I do? My operating system is windows 7, System is Intel Core i7-4790 / 16 GB RAM

    Contact support by web chat to reset activations and refer to this:

  • Adobe Master Collection CS3

    Are Adobe Master Collection CS3 work`s on 64 bit Windows?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the GREAT info!!! Just what was looking for. I probably will go with an HP d5000t since someone else on another post is using one. It is custom built to my specs, can go to 8GB RAM, and support 64 Vista. I want a high powered graphics card, but I worry about power supply.
    As for crashes and other mishaps, I tried to burn a 1-hour DVD out of Encore. It took 2 1/2 hours and got to the very end of the burn process, then froze up. The same thing happened on another computer, so it is software related. Also in Encore, I accidently imported an HD menu (Party Menu HD) into a DV project. From then on it caused numerous crashes "on both PCs". Says it is a corrupted file and wants me to delete it from the project. It will not clear or delete, and even pops up after opening new or archived projects. I finally just got it to burn all the way through after removing a slideshow from the project, but the currupted file is still there even after deleting the 3.0 presets and library folder.
    I have Procoder 3 for batch conversions, which is awesome! It has a plug-in for CS3 Premiere, but I use the standalone as well. I wonder if it's causing any of my issues?
    Premiere seems to work okay. Plays back poor quality un-rendered video. Audio is a big problem in Premiere. Editable multi-knob effects like compressors and EQ dump their presets in the middle of an edit. I guess they're called VST plug-ins? You know, if I tweek the preset values and then try to "reset" back to the original, it will set the knob settings to bizarre values.
    Soundbooth works well, but haven't done too much on it. I hate having to go to another application. I start to lose track of files after they have been extracted from video. I need to come up with a renaming plan. When I try to "Edit Original" in Premiere, a video of still image file, it opens in Windows Media Player instead of the appropriate CS3 app. I don't know how to set that up.
    I don't understand Bridge, although I like that it plays files in its own interface and I can get to tutorial videos. Apart from that, I prefer Windows Explorer for finding and moving files. I have not touched Version Cue from CS2 or CS3.
    I like Encore and find it much more user-friendly than previous CS.
    I opened up After Effects once - and never again, not on this PC. Even a single video file on the timeline, it barely played back - something like a frame a second. I though the computer was going to explode!
    Photoshop seemed okay but I did nothing other than simple fixes to Encore menus. I have not tried to work any other apps because I'm afraid of an urecoverable situation.
    By the way, my "other PC" is a Newtek Tricaster. ALso about 3 years old or more. It seems a little more stable than the Sony VAIO, and a good backup, but I'm taxing it too much with CS3 on top of its own stuff.
    I am looking to sell the Tricaster if anyone is interested. I have no use for it these days.
    I did not originate this post, so forgive me for being so wordy. I did start another thread:

  • Missing Installation Disc for Master Collection CS3

    Greetings....I need to reinstall the Master Collection CS3 because my PC drive got wiped out. I was just reinstalling it and realized Disc 4 is missing when I was asked to insert it.  It's been a year or 2 since last time I had to install. I've looked and can't find it.  No money or interest in updgrading at the moment.  Can anything be done?

    You can download the installation file(s) thru the following page:

  • Installation of Master Collection CS3 (disc version for Windows)  on a laptop without optical drive

    Installation of Master Collection CS3 (disc version for Windows) -  is there any possibility of installing my legitimately purchased MC-CS3 on a new laptop without optical drive? Perhaps through a download link or will tranfering all Adobe files from my old to my new computer do the trick as well? Or do I necessarily have to buy an external optical drive? Thank you for answering.

    No need to buy an optical drive and don't try transferring, it rarely works.

  • Hi, I wish to buy an Adobe Master Collection CS3 (Corporate Edition) from someone in the US and I hope to use it in the UK. Does anyone know if this can be done without any problems, also does Adobe still allow people to register the CS3 Corporate Edition

    Hi, I wish to buy an Adobe Master Collection CS3 (Corporate Edition) from someone in the US and I hope to use it in the UK. Does anyone know if this can be done without any problems, also does Adobe still allow people to register the CS3 Corporate Edition? any help would be greatly appreciated

    The flaw is here:
    corporate edition
    ...which essentially means it's most likely a volume license and thus not transferable in the first place. The rest is as Steve said - buying software on eBay is risky even on the best of days.

  • Is Creative Suite Master Collection CS3 compatible with Windows 7?

    Hi I was just wondering if Master Collection CS3 was compatible with Windows 7. Has it been tested and was it successful? Or were there problems with it? If so is CS4 compatible or would I have to buy the newest version? I would just like a simple answer if you could give it referring to if I can use it and if there's any problematic occurances that come with putting the two together. Thank you.
    Meepsie18

    No, CS3 was never tested on Win 7 and thus is not officially compatible or certified with it. The first version to fit that criteria is indeed CS4. That doesn't mean that CS3 couldn't run at alll on Win 7, though. Many users do, but the specific level of success depends on too many factors, so nobody can give you a definitive answer. If you can afford it, just get CS6/ Creative Cloud.

  • Want to sell Master Collection CS3

    I recently purchased Master Collection CS3, Student Edition for P.C. I installed it and have been using it for about a month, but unfortunately I need the money, and would like to sell the item. If I de-activate the software, and then sell it, would the next person be able to install the software as normal?
    Thanks in advance.

    Educational versions are usually non-transferable, so you'd better check whether it's legal for you to sell your copy.
    It's possible the buyer may not be able to activate the software because you had activated the same serial number before. :/
    OFF TOPIC: I have no idea how I ended up on this forum. :|.

  • Ive got a Mac Pro bought seconf hand, It doesn't allow me to update as the username is blocked to the previous owner, it appears off and can't change it, the box goes directly to password. I have changed the computer username and password but the problem

    Ive got a Mac Pro 2010, bought second hand through eBay. When it comes to update the software, the username is blocked to the previous owner. It appears off and the box goes directly to password. I have tried to reset then to log in in apple store with my login but didn't help. I would appreciate any tips to sort it out
    Thanks fellas

    That machine did not ship with Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8), so that means the copy of Mountain Lion on the machine was purchased by the former owner and is non-transferable. It is permanently linked to his/her Apple ID, so you cannot update or reinstall it.
    What you need to do (which the seller should have done for you) is reinstall the original system that that machine came with. I believe that would be Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6). What you need to do is reinstall that system from the original disks. If the seller did not provide those disks, you can call Apple and get them replaced for a small shipping and handling fee.

  • Ive got an mac book pro i bought the lead to connect to tv but is there a lead where you can have the sound from the tv and not through the laptop?

    ive got a mac book pro i bought the lead to connect to the tv but is there a lead for the sound to come out of the tv and not the laptop?

    Depends which Macbook Pro, depends what cable you have. MBPs from 2010 onwards can transmit audio through their Displayport connectors if you have an HDMI input on your TV and an adaptor which also transmits audio. Not all Displayport-HDMI adaptors do this. If you're trying a VGA input on your TV, that will not carry audio.
    If your MBP is older than 2010, you will need to use a separate audio cable to connect from your computer's 3.5" mini audio connector to the appropriate audio input on your TV.
