Trying to Install Adobe Illustrator CS3, says i need cs4

i recently bought the cs3 design premium and when I go to install illustrator it tells me to insert illustrator cs4.
I had the cs4 demo on my computer and I uninstalled it but I am still getting this message.
Any suggestions?

You need to run the clean up script in order to get the obsolete license files removed.

I'm trying to install Adobe PS CS3 for my boss on an other computer. I put the Program on a hard disc and copied it to the other computer now it won't open and says it needs the license. What can I do to make it work on this computer?

Copying the program over to a new machine will not work. Install it using installation files and activate it using the serial number assigned to the license.

Trying to remove Adobe Illustrator CS3 for a re-install

I am trying to remove Adobe Illustrator CS3 for a re-install but have come across some problems in the process.
I am working in Windows XP SP2
When I go to uninstall, the Adobe screen won't let me proceed because updates have been made to the software since I've installed it. However, I can't get into Illustrator because of a "fatal serial number error" (I do have the purchased software -- it's not pirated).
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks!

I'm trying to install adobe illustrator 8.0.1 in Intelbase Imac 09 but I can't ?? not

I'm trying to install Adobe illustrator 8.0.1 in a Apple Intel base Imac but I can't open it because it says " classic environment is not longer supported" what's this? how can I solve it? seems to be the problem is because is an older version of Adobe Illustrator, do you know if is possible to install it? or should I buy a new version? thank you for your help

Dennis,
To answer your questions, you cannot install Illustrator 8 on iMac 2009 since that old version was made for the old Mac OS 8-9 systems. Intel Macs run OS X 10.5 and higher. The last version of OS X was 10.4 that supported those programs that ran in the "Classic" system emulator on the PowerPC processor Macs. Since the Intel processor Macs came out, OS 8-9 "Classic" system programs were not supported and "Classic" is not and will not be made available to run old programs.You can get the SheepSaver emulator that will run under OS X 10.5 Leopard and run your "Classic" program but I have not used it and it would be a bit flaky in the stability area, from my understanding.
So in essence you have to upgrade.
Now, since Adobe doesn't have the liberal upgrade policies like in the past, you can't directly upgrade to Illustrator CS4 from 8.0. You need CS1 to be eligible to upgrade. In that case, you will have to get a copy of Illustrator CS1 Upgrade from a 3rd party, like on eBay or Lemswap Group on Google. Then you can register that and get on the upgrade path to CS4 Upgrade. Adobe is very good at allowing you to do this. I can explain further how to purchase software on eBay, I've done it for years safely and upgraded that way and saved lots of money as long as you take precautions while doing it.
Or bite the bullet and get CS4 non-upgrade.

System Check Message: How do I close my Internet Explorer to install Adobe Illustrator CS3?

Upon installing Adobe Illustrator CS3, I cannot finish installing because system check tells me that Internet Explorer needs to be closed. I am using Windows Vista Home Edition Premium. I'm simply confused because I do not know exactly how to close Internet Explorer to finish my installation process. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

hello, unfortunately when you search for this error message it appears that it might be related to malware that is active on your system and blocks file downloads.
please try to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].
if you can't download/execute any of those tools, you might want to try to boot windows into safe mode with networking support first and see if it works then: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7

You need Snow Leopard before you can go to Lion...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements...

Installing Adobe illustrator cs3- no file for setup

My computer is :
iMac
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4（11E53）
I want to install Adobe Illustorator CS3, but couldn't find
"Setup（Macintosh）"file in "Adobe Illustrator CS3" folder.
I could find "Setup.exe" file, but couln't start with this file.
Is this mean that this is not for mac OS?
Please tell me how I can start installing. Thank you.

Not sure, but I believe in CS3 it was still called "Install Illustrator CS3" All you should need is to mount the DMG file and than run that. Perhaps if you provide a screenshot we might advise further...

Tried to install Adobe Flash Player - says old version is outdated. Why does it say blocked plug in?

Tried to install Adobe Flash player update. Site says blocked plug- in ---so did the update work?

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.

I am trying to install adobe illustrator CS5 from cd but it will not install

When I install it the message 'installer has failed to initialize' appears. It then advises to download the Adobe Support Advisor. I have done this but the advisor will not respond (I have already installed Adobe Air). I have also successfully run the Adobe cleaner tool.
Any help please?

Try downloading it and then run the installer.
1. Navigate to Illustrator CS6 Downloads page : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=illustrator
2. Sign in with your Adobe ID.
3. Copy and paste the following links on the address bar one at a time and hit enter :
Adobe Illustrator CS5 English Windows
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/ILST/15/win32/Illustrator_15_LS1.7z
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/ILST/15/win32/Illustrator_15_LS1.exe
4. Save both the files.
5. Run the .exe file
In case you still face issues
Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and clean out the temporary files created during install in your temp directory. Additioanlly, check your task manager and terminate any instances of setup.exe and msiexec.exe that may still be running

Trying to install flashplayer 10 it says I need to close mozilla firefox how do I do that?

I am trying to install flash player # 10 and get a warning that I need to close mozilla firefox can you tell me how to do that?

File > Exit or Firefox Button > Exit
Then verify that Firefox is completely down, give it 30 seconds before checking then
use Ctrl+Shift+Ext switch to the "Processes" tab ( win7 only shortcut) then
if firefox.exe is running end the process
if plugin-container.exe is running end the process

Trying to install... it says i need to be adobe administrator

how do i install the photo elements 13 when it tells me i need to be an administrator

What is your operating system? If it is Windows 7 or 8.1 then you need to login on your machine as Administrator or a user with Administrator privileges.
Generally, any first account created on a new system is always a user with Administrator privileges so if you have two or more accounts then use the account that was created first. This means, you might need to provide a password to login.
Administrator account on a windows system is a very powerful account in that it allows to make changes to the system and do updates and all that.
Hope this helps.
