Photoshop cs3 serial number help

Hi there,
I have photoshop CS3 and i have recently goten a new computer as my old one crashed and died. I have tried installing my photoshop on it but when activating it says my serial number has been used already and i should deactivate the ps on the other computer, But since it has crashed and is no longer with us i am unable to do this. Is there any other way I can get my photoshop to work?
Thank You!

Photoshop cs3 serial number

I need help on this. I installed it for free, but I needed a serial number because it recommends me to do it. As it turns out it's an extended version of it, so how do I get my serial number?

CS3 is an old version of Photoshop 2007 which is no longer marketed.

Photoshop CS4 serial number flagged as invalid on reinstallation.

Photoshop CS4 Serial number flagged as invalid when I know it's OK. I have been transferring my software to Windows7 from XP by running two operating systems on separate volumes so I can keep working while dealing with compatibility problems. I have my original CD with serial number that I have been using for years. I have wasted a lot of time on this but I am now at the stage where I have deactivated and uninstalled PS from XP, reinstalled from download from Adobe on Win7. When I install I'm asked for the serial number which is accepted OK. When I try to run PS I'm again asked for s/n but this time it's flagged as Invalid. I have had to resort to running as 30 day trial while I trying to find a solution. I'm now desperate, Help Please!

Thanks for that. Yes, I had seen that before and tried it. It made no difference unfortunately.
BUT the good news is, I have tried again this new day and NOW it goes through. Go figure!
Thanks to everyone in this Discussion for your suggestions.
Problem somehow resolved itself?!

I think I have been through this with you just recently. Since I wasn't able to help you, I will respond anyway so that your request will moved to the top of the list. Hopefully, someone will be able to help you.

Photoshop CS6 Serial Number Ineffective

My Photoshop CS6 serial number won't work. When entered I get a message telling me that two machines are in use and I must disconnect one of them. If I can find a way to get around this fine, otherwise i will need another "workable" serial number and would like to know how to go about getting one if this is the case.

You are only allowed to have the software activated on two machines at any given time. The way around this is to deactivate one of the installations if you are aware of where these two existing installations are.
If you are not aware of any other installations and/or this is a newly acquired serial number, then you need to contact Adobe Support by chat or by telephone.

Lost CS3 serial number and email I used from that purchase is no longer valid, now I cannot reinstall my CS5 after wiping my hard drive clean from a computer problem.

Bought CS3 about 7 years ago under an email address that's been closed for many years and I lost the serial number from that old CS3 and now after doing a clean wipe of my hard drive after some computer glitches, I can no longer install CS5 upgrade as I cannot produce the CS3 serial number. No monkey business, I've been using CS5 since 2011 when I bought it directly from Adobe. What are my options?

Is it possible for you to log in to your OLD Adobe account using that email address to check your history?
https://www.adobe.com/account.html for serial numbers or subscriptions on your Adobe page
If not, you MAY be able to have an employee look up the information linked to that old email address
Adobe contact information - http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html may help
-Select your product and what you need help with
-Click on the blue box "Still need help? Contact us"
If that doesn't work, you are going to have to buy new... either a subscription or Creative Suite 6

Photoshop CS5 serial number

Help Please!! I recently purchased a new computer and I'm in the process of transferring programs and files. I can't find my Photoshop PS5 serial number or Key code anywhere. I don't want to upgrade to the cloud.. Can anyone tell me where I can find my serial number within PS5 like maybe help or something

No, you cannot get the complete serial number from an installed program. that would completely defeat the purpose of the activation system. Contact support by web chat or phone, maybe they can help you.

Upgrade from CS3 to CS4 won't accept CS3 serial number

Hi
I bought a downloadable upgrade to CS4 Design Premium a couple of weeks ago, installed OK, accepted the new serial number but when it asked for my CS3 serial number it won’t accept it. I have contacted Adobe Support and they told me that I needed to reinstall as they thought that it was doing this because I hadn’t chosen International English as the language and my original CS3 was set to International English. I did this but it still won’t accept my old serial number and I am having to use the programmes as a trial version. I have contacted Adobe again but it has been a week now and no response – has anyone else had this problem? I am getting concerned about what will happen when the trial runs out!
Thanks for your help
Message was edited by Jochem van Dieten: removed attached image with serial number

Downloaded OK – Installed OK – when I open any of the programmes I get a Software Setup box that opens asking to choose the option of using the product on a trial basis or inputting my serial number – I input the new CS4 serial number and that is OK – then you click next and it brings up an Upgrade Check asking you to select a product that you already own (this is only a drop down menu of CS3 items, i.e. Design Premium, Master Collection etc) and asking you to input the serial number for this product – this is where it is falling over – I input my old CS3 serial number and I get a cross and a box that comes up saying <The serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected. Please try reentering the serial number, or selecting a different product from which to upgrade> this is where I am putting in my CS3 Design Premium serial number and it won’t accept it even though it is correct and is even listed under my Adobe Account as CS3 Design Premium!
Hope that makes more sense

To deactivate old photoshop cs3 serial code's

Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently stumbled upon 2 older photoshop CS3 boxes at our office.
when i tried to install one of these and activate use one of the two serial codes i got the error message saying the codes need to be deactivated first.
As far as i know it the codes are currently not in use by anyone in the office, al employees that use photoshop were upgraded to CS5 last year (wich we have 5 pcs.)
I have the following problems with the licences.
both of the photoshop CS3 serials are:
* not registrated to any of our employees
* not registrated to any of our pc / laptops
Now i am wondering how i can deactivate these two codes.
And truly hop u can help me figuring this one out.
Yours Truly,

Hi All, I have two questions. First of all my CS3 is saying that it is installed on more than one machine, is there a way of seeing what machines my serial number is registered to? If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot

Hi All, I have two questions. First of all my CS3 is saying that it is installed on more than one machine, is there a way of seeing what machines my serial number is registered to? If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot afford to move to the creative cloud.....

there's no way for you to identify which machines have or had cs3 activated, and you can no longer purchase a cs3 license from adobe.
you can request an activation count reset (Contact Customer Care) and deactivate your cs3 on all your computers. you can then install and activate on up to two computers.

I buy app keynote but I Don't have serial number.Help me please.

I buy app keynote but I Don't have serial number.Help me please.

This means you have the iWork '09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

CS6 update will not take my CS3 serial number

I paid for the update for CS6, moving up from CS3. I paid the $300, downloaded, installed, input the serial number for CS6. The screen then asks for the CS3 serial number, I put the number in at least ten times (no typo's) tripple checked "My Adobe" again and again. I have the correct serial number for CS3, but upon validation of "Serial number upgrade", after choosing CS3 from the dropdown menu, I input the number, and it keeps saying, "This serial number is not for a qualifying product, please try another".
Thanks so much in advance for any help

Contact Adobe support , they will do the Unlocking for you and will check the reason for this.
For details refer :- Error:- "this serial number is not for a qualifying product"

Why isn't my CS3 serial number qualified for CC promotional membership?

I am trying to buy the CC membership but with the promotion for clients. When i put the cs3 serial number it tells me i am not qualified. Why does this happen?

I only recently discovered the reason it didn't work for me (I'd put this question to Creative Cloud's Facebook page also, and an Adobe Power-That-Be replied via that): My serial wasn't accepted because it was an Education version.
I hadn't thought of this, as there was no 'Student & Teacher' or similar indication on the packaging, and its initial purchase was so long ago I don't remember where I got it or for how much. But I see I registered it around the time I graduated Media Design School, so I must have taken advantage of the student discount opportunity. It doesn't surprise me then, that having saved considerable coin there, Adobe would consider a CC discount to be a double dip.
