Re-activate CS3 on an old computer

How do I re-activate CS3 on an old computer whose motherboard died and was repaired? Problem is that I'm told I can't re-activate due to maxing out my license. However, I don't have it on any of my current computers, but I have had two iMacs stolen from my business
that contained CS3. Obviously, I can't deactivate the programs on those.

You can contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

  • How to De-activate iTunes Account on Old Computer and Re-activate it on New Computer

    I have recently gotten a new laptop (Sony Vaio) and want to delete my iTunes account on my old laptop (which will be given away) and re-activate it on my new laptop. I want to completely get rid of my iTunes from that computer and transfer everything that was on that iTunes to the iTunes that I will get in my new laptop.
    Thank you.

    Type"move itunes library" into the google search bar for direction in moving your itunes library.
    Copy everything from your old computer to your new one, then erase/restore your old computer.

  • Re-activate CS3 on a new computer.

    I have bought a new laptop and want to install CS3 on it.  There was not option to deactivate on my old desktop.  The error I get is "the serial number is not valid".  I am the original owner of the CS3 software.

    adobe customer service will probably direct you back here because they offer very limited support for non-current versions, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html

  • Installing Photoshop CS3 on a new computer.

    I am about to buy a new PC (old one too slow for Photoshop CS3). As I have already installed CS3 on my old computer, will I have any problem installing it from the same CD on to my new machine? (As CS3 cost more than the computer, I obviously don't want to have to buy a fresh copy)

    deactivate the old copy (in the help menu) before installing the new one.

    Hello. I would like to activate my CS3 Educational Program (version 2007) on my new computer. Unfortunatly he is not accepting my serial number. What can I do? I have delated the program on my old computer but it doesn't accept the activation on the new laptop.

    Make sure you are using the  correct serial number.  Find your serial number quickly
    If you did not deactivate the original installation then it is possible your two allowed activations have been used and you need to reset your activation count.  To do that you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.  If you ask for more than that they will tell you they cannot offer you any support.

    Hi, I need to activate my Adobe CS3 on a new computer because my old one died and I'm having difficulty. Tried the normal registration way and then logged in with my Adobe ID and can see the software and activation code already registered. How to get it on my computer registered?

    If your two activation are in use you need to call Adobe. Install CS3 to to point of activation and call Adobe at that point.  They have help me in cases like your My Disk crashed and I replaced it. Could not deactivate the crash activation.  I done that twice over the years I've been using  PS for around 20 years
    To see your key you need to click on the product in your Adobe products and services page.

  • Re-install CS3 on my old Vista 64 bit computer now with Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello----I had Windows 7 64 bit  installed on my old computer which had Vista 64 bit.  I'd like to re-install CS3 and Lightroom 2 both of which I had on the Vista system.  Do I need to get permission from Adobe to reinstall?  I have serial numbers ready.   [email protected]

    As long as you de-activated PS CS3 before replacing your operating system, no. Not sure about lightroom.
    PS CS3 can be activated on 2 seperate computers. You still have one activation remaining and will not have to call in to Adobe to activate.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 uninstall on MAC computer then install and activate on Windows PC

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    I have bought and installed Dreamweaver CS3 on my MAC computer since 2008.
    I am now using a Windows computer and I would like to:
    1) uninstall Dreamweaver CS3 from my old MAC computer
    2) install, then activate Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows computer
    Could you please help me how to go about that?
    Thank you for your help,
    Zied Smiri

    You can't. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps are only available for the current version which is CS6. CS3 is also too old to qualify for an upgrade so your only options are to buy CS6 or subscribe to the Creative Cloud version of Dreamweaver.

  • How to activate CS3 after transferring files from a dead computer to a new computer

    How do I activate CS3 after transferring files from a dead computer to a new computer?
    I have a CS3 on an iMac.  My old iMac's disk drive failed completely.  So, I cannot turn it on.
    I installed all my files and programs from a back-up drive.  Adobe Product Support said I should go to the Forum.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you
    Andy Serrano

    The message I get when I try to start Photoshop says, "Licensing for this product has stopped working."  You must contact customer support.

  • Activate account on a new computer when its impossible to deactivate the old account

    Hello! I have purchased and activated Adobe Photoshop Elements on my old computer, which is now broken. This means that I can not use Photoshop on my new computer because I first have to disable the old version, which I can not do this when my old computer is broken. How do I do to use photoshop again?

    Normally the software will allow you to activate on up to two computers. If you've already done so and cannot activate again you'll need to contact customer support.  Chat with them by going to http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=photoshop-elements&topic=activating-my-product -or-serial-number-issues and clicking on 'I Still Need Help'

    Hi Virginie,
    You need to go under the help menu option and sign out from Muse and then install it on the other computer that you want using the creative cloud desktop app.
