Photoshop CS3 wont Licence

Hi Adobe Forum
I have a copy of Photoshop CS3 and it wont register with Adobe. It keeps saying no internet connction even though we have one.  I get and error normal 159:41.
I have contacted adobe support via the online live chat who said that they cant do anything with there own products so i would have to ask the forum.
Licence number:1045-1877-7840-9373-4241-7582
Activation Code: 3435-4851-2540-1149-4067-6390-4063
Please can someone out there help.
Kind Regards
James Summerfield

Hi James,
That's unfortunate if they suggested trying to get help here, as this is a user-to-user forum and no one outside of the company can really assist with software licensing issues...  And hopefully they didn't suggest you post those codes publicly as that's something you might prefer to keep confidential.
Very sorry, wish there were more we here could do!  Did the program install okay, with no error messages?

  • Photoshop CS3 wont open any files?

    I'm running photoshop cs3 and recently every time I try and open a file nothing happens, well what happens is I see the open file box pop up and disappear and then I can not do anything in PS, every time I click something I hear a noise and thats it, I have to restart Photoshop.
    The only way to open a file is if I drag and drop a file in PS.
    I'm running windows XP service pack 2 if that helps at all, and yes I have reinstalled and the problem still persists.

    and if that doesn't work, try this:

  • Photoshop CS3 wont recognise my Canon scanner

    Hi
    Updated to CS3 and my canon scanner wont get recognised. I have a Power PC G5 Mac and did a forum search but everything seems to be about intel macs.
    Can someone please help me?
    Cheers
    Stag

    Yes i did all that. I found this and followed:
    "1. Use the "Deldrv" program to remove previously unsuccessfully installed driver(s). The "Deldrv" uninstaller can be found on the Canon website at the bottom of the Canon scanner driver pop up window that you access to get the drivers for your scanner.
    2. Use the "Find?" under the File menu (command-F) or use Spotlight (command spacebar) to find the folder "CFMSupport". Select this folder (don't open it), and use the 'Get info' command in the File menu (command-I) to open information about the Ownership and Permissions of the folder. Click on the arrow beside 'Ownership and Permissions' so it points downwards, then click on the arrow beside 'Details' so you can see the details. Click on the padlock icon so it is unlocked. Then set owner to your user name, set the Group to admin, and set access for all users to Read & Write.
    3. Reinstall the CanoScan Toolbox first, then the scanner drivers from the Canon website or your CD, restart your computer."
    Im gonna call Canon. If nothing, apart from vuescan, any free applications I can download?

  • Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

    Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
    File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
    Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi
    Colour Profile: sRGB IEC61966
    Multi business licence for CS3 and CS6 Design Standard/Premium/Master Collection all on PC
    Please Help!

    Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
    Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
    Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

  • Help!  Photoshop CS3 liscensing quit working!

    ok so I have had CS3 design suite for a few years now and I have never
    had any problems, the past few months I keep getting errors saying the liscensing on this product has quit working and I need to uninstall and reinstall to fix it.  I looked this problem up on the internet and found an article on adobe's site telling me to fix the flexnet issues and whatnot.  I did everything it told me to do and photoshop still wont launch, continues to give me this error!  I uninstall the program and reinstall and it works fine for about 3-4 days then starts this all over again...I am at the end of my rope here, cant get any work done cause photoshop is always down.  I am running windows vista, would this be part of the problem maybe?  any help would greatly be appreciated, Im not sure at this point if I should get a new version of windows or a new computer or what...something is not right with it and I cant keep doing portrait sessions without being able to deliver proofs in a timely manner!

    My problem with photoshop and CS3 is that they are  triplicating the
    photographs each time I launch and Adobe seems to continue to  give me the excuse
    they are working on the problem of catalogues they are aware 
    of.....................  I am into my 4 th month with this problem and  still have nothing
    resolved.

  • Deactivating Photoshop CS3

    I have just got a new laptop and want to install Photoshop CS3 on it, however it wont letme Activate the product until the copy I have on my old machine is deactivated. The problem is I cant deactivate the old copy as the Deactivate optionis not visible in the help menu, where it should be.
    Can someone please tell me how I'm meant to deactivate my old copy?
    Thanks in advance
    David

    This activate deactivate crap is making me hate Adobe. I can't use the $800 in software I bought at work because I can't deactivate my old work computer and put it on my new work computer. I use web standard and PS CS3 both at work and at home. 1 install of each piece of software in 2 different locations, home and work, just as the license says I can. I upgraded my home comp's drive to an SATA so I deact and react just as normal. Worked fine. Got a new computer at work, tried deactivating both pieces of software and it won't let me. So now my new work comp can't run the software I shelled out $800 for because I can't get it deactivated on my old work comp.
    With the amount of computer changes and drive upgrades I do in a single year it makes it impossible to use their software anymore. Even when I follow the process by the book. I can't deactivate my old work comp for some reason so now I'm screwed. What happens when I upgrade my home comp this summer? Now I won't be able to use either pieces of software at all.
    Way to go Adobe. Great way to alienate your customers who have been paying for your software since day one!!

  • Cannot Activate Photoshop CS3 Extended???

    Hi,
    I cannot activate my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, after coming across a previous thread regarding this issue (Re: CS3 Retail Box. Key Won't Work) I contacted support but after 3 representatives they all claim to not be able to validate the keys (despite one still being in use on my wife's laptop!). I just want to deactivate the keys from the previous 2 PCs so I can install them on my newer machines, my old pc has been formatted without deactivation so I cannot do it myself and I am scared to deactivate the other copy as It seems I will not receive any support in reactivating it.
    Here is a complete conversation with one of the 3 support representatives I have spoken to regarding this issue:
    Thank you for contacting Adobe.
    A representative will be with you shortly.
    Thank you for your patience.
    While you wait, you can try our community forums where experts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
    You are now chatting with Vijet.
    Vijet: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
    mike stripling: Hi, I have here 2 keys for Adobe Photoshop CS3 extended edition which are telling me there is too many activations on them
    Vijet: Hi Mike,In order to assist you in a better way can i have your Name your Email id and your Phone number please.
    mike stripling: one of them was on a pc which has been formatted without deactivation and the other is on my wife's laptop which also needs deactivation as that will be formatted soon
    mike stripling: Mike Stripling, [email protected] and I'm not sure which phone number it would be under
    mike stripling: (it was registered 7 years ago)
    mike stripling: I have spoken to two previous representatives who claim my keys are not valid yet after downloading cs3 from your website instead of installing from a disc it says for both keys that there are too many pcs using them at the moment
    Vijet: Can you please provide me with the Serial Number for your Photoshop CS 3
    mike stripling: [removed] & [removed]
    mike stripling: Your previous representatives claimed this did not show on their system
    mike stripling: but when I put it in photoshop it claims there are too many pcs using those keys
    mike stripling: I can screenshot this if necessary
    Vijet: Sorry to say Mike but the Serial Number you are giving me are invalid one's.
    mike stripling: No they are not.
    mike stripling: Why else would I get a big green tick and a page showing 'too many activations'
    Vijet: Please allow me a moment while I look into your account and see why are you having this issue.
    mike stripling: Ok.
    mike stripling: I also found this support thread with your adobe staff responses on this issue which may be relevant: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491813
    mike stripling: "CS3 can not be activated any more as it is end of life product, you can contact Adobe Support at Adobe - Contact Support – Download and Installation to know how to proceed for it & know about the options if there are any. Regards Rajshree"
    Vijet: The serial number you are giving me are not the valid one,i have looked into my resources.
    mike stripling: https://i.imgur.com/GRdHQmc.png
    mike stripling: then why do I get this?
    Vijet: May be Mike the Photoshop we are talking about is CS 2 not CS 3?
    mike stripling: the screenshot I just linked is cs3 and the disc with the serial numbers, box etc all says adobe photoshop cs3 extended
    Vijet: Because end of life of the product you are saying it's for CS 2 products not for the CS 3.
    mike stripling: your staff post says cs3 as well
    mike stripling: clearly stated in this thread https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491813
    Vijet: Allow me a minute let me look into it.
    Vijet: From where did you purchased it?
    mike stripling: It was years ago, but I believe amazon or something
    mike stripling: I don't have the purchase order saved, who would save that for 7 years? :S
    Vijet: Sorry to say Mike i wont be able to help you with this.

    i am not an adobe employe and not an adobe spokesperson.
    but my guess is it appears to adobe as if those keys have been 'hacked'.  ie, published somewhere publically, used by others and are now blacklisted.
