Limited install of CS3 Production Suite

Is it possible to only install one or two programs from CS3 Production Premium Suite?
I hate premiere, AE is on the cloud now so the only thing I really need is Photoshop and Illustrator and don't need the newer versions of either YET
Is this possible? hate to load all that crap on my computer for nothing
Thanks

Yes, the setup screen allows you to pick and choose.

>install it on an indefinite number of computers?
You can put the install disc in 1 or 2 or 2000 drives... but that doesn't mean that the activation will work on more than two at a time
Since activation is required to use the program... you are limited to 2 installs at a time
As has been discussed in other threads, you must DE-activate one of your two allowed activations before you may activate on another computer
PS - I think I have also read in the forums that there is some limit to how many times you may activate and deactivate and activate again (no, I don't know the number... I just remember that there was some discussion of such)

Clean install of CS3 Production Premium

Hi,
I have CS3 Production Premium Suite installed and all elements running well for over a year on a Vista PC. I am selling the PC to switch to a Mac, and I want to do a clean install of Vista and then re-install CS3 onto the machine. Will the be any registration/licensing issues when I try to re-install CS3 when it has already been registered? If there will be, I will avoid the clean install of Vista and just clean the drives.
Thanks!
Baz

It's in Help>Transfer Activation.
Though it is designed to clean up after the trial of CS3, I'd also run the Adobe CS3 CleanScript a couple of times, before doing a complete reinstall. Note: you want the CS3 version - choose carefully.
Good luck,
Hunt

Silent install Adobe CS3 Production Premium Issue

Hi folks,
I've ran into a problem when trying to roll at CS3 PP onto Windows 7 PCs.
I got instructions on how to do this from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402715.html but I've ran into a snag in that I have been able to generate the install.xml file ok but when the command runs it works away for a wee while then I get: -
End Adobe Setup. Exit code: 7
I'm using the following command string:-
\\qms03\cip$\AdobeCS3PP\AdobeCS3\setup.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile=\\qms03\cip$\AdobeCS3PP\AdobeCS3\install.xml
I've had a look around the Internet and can't find a solution this and I wonder has anyone ever came across it before and do you know how I can solve it so I can get the application installed?
Your help would be much appreciated!
Regards,
Tony

Problems installing cs3 production premium: database corrupt

I have a new computer with windows 8.
On my old computer i used Premiere Pro CS3, now i tried Premiere Elements 11. I´m not happy with it so i deinstalled it and tried to install the CS3 production premium on the new Computer.
When I insert the disk and click on install an error appers immediately: "The installation database is corrupt."
I found out that there is an "Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" so i used it, but this doesnt resolve my error.
What do I have to do to install the CS3 Production Premium?

Manually delete the caps.db in the caps folder:
Important Directories
Bob does have a point, though. Installing and using CS3 on Win8 is going to be all sorts of trouble, regardless.

Can't install PPro CS3 on new computer

After doing previous research it appeared that PPro CS3 (and the rest of the Production Premium Suite could be installed on a 64 bit machine.
I attempted to install Production Premium (but only selected PPro, AE, Soundbooth and Encore) and got an error message after all 4 discs were completed as instructed in the installer. The error may have to do with the fact that I installed a download version of Design Premium CS4 a few weeks ago. The download was made to my desktop. The installation was then directed to the C drive. After the install was complete, I deleted the download file since I did not want a 500MB file on my desktop.
The CS4 programs all seem to work fine. However, when I tried to install the CS3 Production Premium programs, I got a lengthy dialog box of the errors which referenced missing files that the installer identified as being on my desktop.
Is there a way to install Production Premium CS3 successfully on a 64 bit machine given these conditions?
Many thanks.

Adobe CS3 Production Premium Installation

(Brand New) HP xw8600 Workstation
Intel Xeon 3.00 GHz Processor
3.25 GB RAM
Windows XP Professional
Service Pack 2
DSL High Speed Internet Connection for Activation
I'm trying to install the Adobe CS3 Production Premium package on my new computer. After I select "Install Adobe CS3 Production Premium" from the initial dialog box, a new box saying "Initializing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium" appears with a progress bar. When the progress bar completes, nothing happens. The license agreement window fails to launch. I've tried copying the Adobe CS3 folder to my desktop and running setup.exe alone with no success.
When I use the same disks on a different computer, the license agreement launches.
Any help you guys can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks

Installing CS4 Production Suite -- CS3 Remains in Tact?

Probably a dumb question, but when I purchase my CS4 Production Suite upgrade, it's a completely new install, yes? CS3 applications are unaffected across the board I assume.
I'm excited to get CS4 on board, but I have a lot invested in AE CS3 as far as plug-ins go and am watching/waiting to see when my plugs will be CS4 compatible.
Thanks for the thoughts.

One point of caution. There's a known issue where uninstalling CS3 after having both CS3 and CS4 co-installed will cause a problem with Adobe Media Encoder. It will crash with an error about source file not found. So if you must have both versions installed for a while, please remember to uninstall CS4 and reinstall it AFTER you remove CS3.

Java 1.1 production suite is not installing

Hi all.
I downloaded JavaFX 1.1 production suite on my computer and when i went to install, it said that it's already installed and i'd have to go into my control panel (add/remove program) and uninstall it before i install the new one.
however, when i went into my control panel, there was no javafx 1.1 production suite to uninstall.
also, when i went into my photoshop cs3, under FILE - Automate ... there was nothing there about exporting for javafx or anything of sort.
can someone please tell me what my solution is to fix this?
thanks in advance

Hi,
did you install previous version of the Production Suite? If yes, you can't see it in Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, right?
In that case check for directory "c:\Program Files\sun\Javafx Production Suite" and delete it. The same you can do with the registry key HKLM\Sun\Javafx Production Suite but it may not be necessary
Hope it helps

Errors installing CS3 Production Premium

I am trying to install the new CS3 Production Premium and I am getting this error:
Critical errors were found in this setup. Incompatible payloads already installed. Please see the setup log filefor details.
I am not sure where to look for this setup log file.
Any ideas?

Also i found the following on one of the threads on user forums:
A new message was posted by Meredith Pearcy in
Adobe Creative Suite Windows --
Installing CS3 under Windows XP x64
Latina - while Peter's comment about your permission requirement is correct you have not mentioned a message telling you that you do not have the authority.
I had a similar problem - the following Adobe site helped after I realized that the "c14ac4070fd9614ffe63f4bb533db2c" in \installers\ might have a different string. it did and when I followed the rest of the suggested actions CS3 installed (on my xp Pro x32 os - not on my x64 0s)
Good luck

Solution 3: Start the Setup and then interrupt it.
1. Navigate to the following folder on your hard drive:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\c14ac4070fd9614ffe63f4bb533db2c\resources\common\scripts
Alternatively you can press [WinKey]+R and type:
"%CommonProgramFiles%\Adobe\Installers\c14ac4070fd9614ffe63f4bb533db2c\resources\common\s cripts"
2. Locate a file called "ContainerProxy.js" open it with a text editor (E.G.: Notepad).
3. Go to line 1102 or simply search for:
"jsonObj = _jsonToObject(window.external.SetSessionInitialized(initValue));"
and replace this line with:
"jsonObj = _jsonToObject(SetSessionInitialized(initValue));"
4. Save the file by pressing [Strg]+S or use the menu:
Menu -> File Save.
5. Install the Suite or CS3 application.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
Thanks in advance.

I need to reinstall my CS3 creative suite I bought with a student license. It allows me to install but never asked for the serial number. I can open the programs but can not use them, get a "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly" message.

I bought a CS3 creative suite on a student license in 2008. The original MAC laptop has died and I am trying to install it on a MAC desktop. the programs installs successfully but never ask for a serial number. the programs will open but I can not open any files, I get a Adobe Updater quite unexpectedly message. Is this because the serial number has not been entered? I have tried chat about this problem twice, also use Adobe connect and was not helped. How do I enter this serial number?

activate is grayed out. Registration is available and when I select it, it says "A problem was encountered while trying to send the information over the internet" So I select "submit again" and nothing happens. Then the program closes and I get the added updater quite message.

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

Installing Final Cut Studio over old Production Suite upgrade

My company recently purchased 3 sets of Final Cut Studio. Two of the edit bays just got new first time installs so they worked great but the third bay has my personal verion of production suite wich has been crossgraded to Final Cut Studio. I would like to take mine off and install the company's new Final Cut Studio version. How do I uninstall and change to the new serial numbers? I have read several posts on uninstalling FCP but nothing on DVD Studio, Motion, etc.
Thanks

If it was me, and will be soon, I'd gather up all my install discs, serial numbers from other apps etc and rebuild the system from the ground up. It'll take the better part of a day, but you'll be glad you did.
