Photoshop CS3 Extended usage on another computer

I just added Photoshop CS3 to my work computer from my CS3 Master Collection and now want to also be able to use it on my computer at home. This is my own version of master collection. It will not allow me to add photoshop to the 2nd computer it says that I have to deactivate it on the other computer first. The problem is that I don't see a activate/deactivate option in photoshop cs3 at all. The instructions say it should be under the help menu but I don't see anything. Does anyone have any idea how I would get this onto my other computer. Should I uninstall or what.

Is Activate and Transfer Activation not under the Help menu on CS3? (I am on CS2 here, and that is where it is). I find it near the middle, where the registration link is (although greyed out)
Do not uninstall ... that will not deactivate.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended - Fading 1 color into another color

    Photoshop CS3 Extended running on Windows XP Professional:
    Using a new default size blank page - I want to start at the top with one color - gradually lighten toward the middle then gradually fade into another color (like from violet to light blue).
    Can anyone tell me how to do this?
    Thank you,

    Check out the
    Gradient Tool
    in Help. Once you've got that check out
    Layer Masks
    in Help.
    That should get you going.

  • Bridge not functioning in PhotoShop CS3 Extended

    I deactivated Photoshop CS3 on a computer I was no longer using and installed it (CS3) another computer.  I activiated CS3 on the new computer.  However, when trying to use Bridge, I get a message that says that Adobe no longer supports Bridge Home and Bridge does not function on the new computer. Is there anything I can do to get Bridge to function as part of CS3 Extended?

    Thanks, that worked.

  • Error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" when starting Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended- XP Pro AMD; 2GB RAM

    I have exhausted all known options thus far.
    I started the Flexnet Licensing Service and restarted the system but the message continues to come up when lanching PS CS3 extended
    After restarting computer the Flexnet  Licensing Service stops again and goes into Manual mode. This also happens after a few minutes without restarting.
    I also downloaded the Flexnet Licensing Recovery Kit from Adobe Support but the file stops after saying  "please wait for a few moments.. ?"
    I changed the setting as discribed for the Flexnt folder but the message continues to come up when PS Extended CS3 is launced.

    What else is there to do. Please help me as what I can do so I can continue to use Photoshop CS3 Extended.
    Thank you

    I downloaded the clean Script file and followed the instructions from what the Clean Script read Me file described.  The first step said to deactivate. Although I was not able to deactivate because of my original message, I followed the remaining steps.
    After using the Clean Script and uninstalling Photoshop CS3 Extended and re-installing it I re-booted my computer. I also deleted the CS3 Application data files.
    When I installed PS CS3 Extended the installer does not ask for the serial number on all attemps. I bought a registered copy of PS CS3 Extended. Is there another way to approch this licensing error.
    Thanks.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended won't recognize QuickTime installation

    Hi,
    using Photoshop CS3 Extended, I tried opening an animated GIF today without success. After some forum searching I found I had to import it as video into layers.
    When I tried that I got this message:
    "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because QuickTime version 7.1 or later is required."
    I have QuickTime installed, the newest version (checked for updates and found none), and it works normally. This computer is just about 2 months old, so it's not an out-of-date installation of QuickTime, either.
    I am running Windows XP Pro.
    How does Photoshop determine whether QuickTime is installed or not?
    Any other ideas?
    I'd rather avoid re-installing programs (especially QuickTime) if there's an easier fix for this.
    Thanks!

    Richard.
    There was a problem with QT 7.4 and the Digital rights Management segment that conflicted with After Effects and Premier. There was an almost immediate update from Apple to 7.4.1 (6?) which fixed this problem, there may infact have been another update since then although from memory this was just an itunes update.
    I'd update to the latest version which will more than likely fix the problems. If as you said you have the latest version then try uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it rather than using the apple updater.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial

    Hi guys, I've recently downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. When I select the trial period for 30 days instead of buying the product, it says that Adobe cannot continue and it's having trouble loading the trial. I reinstalled it and restarted my computer, like it said, and nothing worked. Please help, I cannot afford Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended right now, and I do not support piracy at all.

    I've tried to install the program from a different directory, I think my windows installer is crashing every time i try to install it, maybe I find a working hotfix for it.
    I followed these steps when i tried to install ps:

    First I downloaded it to C:~~/Downloads (1.)
    Then I extracted this file to C:~/Desktop (2.)
    Afterwards I got these files (3.)
    After clicking on setup.exe this window (4.) appears and disappears right after

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended installed but not working

    Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended was added to my computer when I bought it in Thailand.
    Now (I am no longer in Thailand) I want to use it but I can't seem to open/do anything.
    Even when asking for help with the 'Help' button it states that "There was an error in initializing the Adobe Help application. You may need to re-install the applicaiton and the Help componen".
    How do I do this? Or am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    Eline

    Haha... I like the honesty!
    I was in bad need for a computer and went to one of those fancy, big shopping malls recommended to me by a couple of friends. I didn't even know I had Adobe Photoshop until today. I am not sure I really got screwed or things just work differently. The computer is a little strange... (I can write in Thai สกร่ฟส กส่ฟกส า่ฟส ่ if I would like to) but so far it's ben okay.
    Anyways, what would you suggest I do Mylenium?

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended error on load

    Photoshop CS3 Extended
    Windows 7 with all updates current
    Error message on load 'could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error'
    I'm running:
    intel core i5
    16 GB RAM
    148 GB free on drive C
    698 GB free on Drive D
    465 GB free on drive E
    465 GB free on drive F
    2 DVD-R drives
    All updates to Photoshop were installed last time I ran it with no problems.
    No new hardware has been installed since.
    Installed Classic Shell since last use, so I uninstalled it but the error persists.
    Installed Diet Tracker but they don't interfere with each on on the system at home so I know there's no problem there.
    Nothing else installed except Windows updates.
    I tried restoring back to the last time I used it . . . still got the error, so undid the restore.
    I tried repairing Photoshop . . . no change.
    I uninstalled Photoshop, rebooted, installed Photoshop. it loaded slower then and the last thing I saw load was plugins then something about Python and then the error again.
    When I try to open the program, it goes so fast that I can't see what's loaded and where it stops now.
    I searched for like problems . . . found one that they found was caused by a sound driver on an ASUS board but it was different.  I tried rolling back the sound driver anyway and it didn't fix it so  I updated it again.  There was a reference to check the Event Viewer which I know nothing about but I tried it anyway . . . found nothing.
    Any help will be appreciated or if you know a way to debug the load or slow it down to see what it's trying to load please clue me in.  Thank you for any help.

    O, OK . . . didn't solve the problem anyway.  I am sorry I can't figure this out on my own instead of taking up everyone else's time.  Downloading and installing 12.6
    New driver installed but this did not resolve problem;  still getting the error message when trying to load the program
    FIRST!!!  I want to thank everyone for your help . . .
    While waiting for another idea, out of casual curiosity because I hate Win 7, I right clicked the ocn for PS and checked the list of options.  Since this was a reinstall, I clicked on the Troubleshoot Compatibility out of curiosity . . . got a choice to Try recommened settings or Troubleshoot programs;  I clicked on the 'Try recommended settings' . . . it came up with recommendation of XP Pro setting and I clicked on it and up came PS and installed some more stuff.
    I am sure this can't be the right answer or it would have never worked in the original install, but it worked for the re-install and that gets me up and running for the time being . . . now to further test and make sure it's working right.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended upgrade to CS5?

    Tried asking the online chat to answer this simple question . . .  the person really didn't understand what I was asking.
    So here it goes, the complex question of —
    Will a regular CS5 upgrade work for a CS3 Photoshop Extended version or not?

    Mylenium,
    It was purchased from a big box store the US (years ago) and has a sticker on it saying "Only for distribution in North America."
    It is for use in America, and so is my SC3 Extended version currently installed on my computer.
    Both versions are for the Mac OS.
    The system requirements are not of importance since my computer meets them all. The upgrade box says nothing about "CS3 or up."
    The only mention of an upgrade on the entire box is on the side stating — "UPGRADE from an relier version. To install this upgrade version, you must have an eligible earlier version of this product. Before opening this package, check with your reseller about its return policy and your upgrade eligibility, or visit www.adobe.com/go/upgradeinfo for eligibility information."
    So, here I am, trying a webpage that doesn't exist anymore and trying to find answers here . . . . .
    Will this normal, regular, run-of-the-mill CS5 Photoshop upgrade work on a CS3 Extended version?
    Is Photoshop CS3 Extended an "eligible earlier version of this product" for the CS5 upgrade?

  • Photoshop CS3 extended error on Installation("A Problem occurred while extracting some files....

    Hi guys. I dont know if youve experienced this but I get this error whenever I try to install Photoshop CS3 Extended. The error popup message goes like this:
    "A Problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder."
    Any idea? :(
    thanks in advanced.
    Cheers!

    Welcome to the forum.
    where is the file to download it directly?
    With CS3, there might not be one any longer. CS4 has been out for some time. You might need to contact Adobe Customer Service for resolution. I know that they offer replacement media for a small fee, but do not know how far back they go with the versions.
    For me, I always purchase the full discs, and from Adobe, so I have little experience with downloaders and with the downloadable files. Maybe someone else can offer you more direct assistance.
    Good luck,

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup - Windows 7

    Hello,
    Recently Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes when I launch it on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer. The splash screen appears but then it just stops working (usually on initializing Tools). It then asks to exit or search for help.
    I have read several things so far. To fix it I tried:
    - disabling the TWAIN plugin
    - resetting all tools
    - deleting the Photoshop preferences file.
    - deleting my printer from the control panel (some others said printer drivers could cause it)
    But all of these did not help. Please let me know how I could fix this. It is not nice having a deadline and not being able to guarantee Photoshop will work.

    Thank you for your replys!
    @Mylenium: I have not recently changed the graphics driver, anyway, this post will contain some more detailed information.
    Since the system does not hang (it is only PS) I could take a screenshot of it:
    And yeah, the message from the event log was very helpful indeed, I should have looked it up earlier ^^;

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended

    I have just installed Photoshop CS3 extended from my CS# Master Collection CD and I am not able to see my raw images from my Canon 40D camera. Can anyone help me with this. I have loaded the camera raw files 4.3.1 upgrade and I still can't see the images in Bridge. The error I get is Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

    So you have admin rights on the computer.
    When you installed CS3, from the CD, did you run the set up as admin? Least for Vista and Windows 7 the screen should dim and a pop up window asks you (if your logged on the computer as administrator) if you want to run the set up (or something along that nature). You choose yes and the software will run as administrator
    Also when you first ran CS3 did you open the .exe propertise, compatibility and check Rrun this program as an administrator? That has to be done too.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

    I installed the CS3 Master Collection that included Photoshop CS3 Extended. I've used Photoshop for going on a decade and I find the CTRL+ALT+I keyboard shortcut really handly to pop open the Image Size window.
    Now, in this new version (don't after a clean format, reinstall of my XP OS) the shortcut no longer works. I check and it still has CTRL+ALT+I listed next to Image Size in the drop down menu as the proper keys, but it does not work.
    Anyone having this issue?

    I tried resetting the preferences but to no avail.
    I'm avoiding having to do an uninstall/reinstall like the plague so If I can find what's causing it and fix it manually that would be preferred.
    I have thought about running the Adobe updater but I'm concerned that it may cause more problems that it would fix (as this has happed to me before with other apps). Everything else works great and this is the only issue I've noticed.
    Does anyone know if the update for Photoshop CS3 Extended addressed his issue (or knows of another cause that might be behind it)?

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended "Not Responding" after selecting horizontal type tool.

    Good question..... I right clicked the .exe icon and selected
    Run as , Current User and --> Unchecked <-- "Protect computer and data
    from unauthorized program activity"
    And SP started up with no problems.
    BTW I wasn't being sarcastic with my last post as I see you used
    all Caps in your reply which on the internet is considerd yelling.
    If I had something sarcastic to say i would put in quotes "said with
    a sarcastic tone", but i did not. I was mearly implying what the words
    ment. I say what I mean and I mean what I say, period. Thanks for your help BTW and for now that problem still remains when clicking
    the .exe file. Nothing has changed other then I can start PS when
    following the directions I have stated here in this reply.
    What are your opinions on this?
    I would love to hear your thoughts.
