Uninstallation concern of design premium CS3 Windows 7

I want to completely uninstall CS3. I am having trouble uninstalling CS3. I loaded CS3 onto Windows 7 PC. I tried to register product but I must have registered it on too many computers (this is a pretty old program from 2007). I think I then selected trial period. Trial period ended. I tried to uninstall with control panel. Apparently not complete uninstall. Now when I try to uninstall nothing happens. Problems occur when I try to open a pdf particularly in a browser such as Chrome. Tries to open in Adobe Acrobat 8. I have Adobe Reader X installed. I can open pdf if I open specifically with Adobe Reader X. I have not tried the cleaner yet.

I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

CS3 Design Premium in Windows 7

Hi,
Bought a new computer with Windows 7.
I lost my "CS3 Design Premium for Windows" installation disk.
So, I downloaded the installation file from Adobe site, extracted it & burned in a DVD as how it supposed be in the Adobe supplied DVD.
When I run the "setup.exe", the wizard appears.
I selected Acrobat Professional & Dreamweaver to install in default location "C:\Program Files\Adobe".
Next screen, it displays the components to be installed & I clicked the next button.
A pop up window displays that "Please insert Adobe CS3 Design Premium disk".
I've gone through another thread in this forum & tried to install all the listed applications of Adobe CS3.
Still no luck.
I need to install Acrobat in the said computer.
Please advise!
Thanks in advance!

Design Premium CS3 for windows Want to download Design Premium CS3 for MAC instead

I have design premium CS3 for windows. My Windows machine is dying and I have a MAC now. I'd like to download design premium CS3 for the MAC and abandon my licenses on the Windows machine, then pick it up on the MAC. Is that possible?

Not any more. Only CS6 is eligible for the PC to Mac swap. If you do not want to buy that all over again, the $50 monthly Creative Cloud is the best way.

Adobe Create Suite 4 Design Premium for Windows Lost Application disk #2

Hi, I have the Adobe Create Suite 4 Design Premium for Windows and have lost the Application disk #2 and cannot reinstall this on my new laptop. I have the licenses and the rest of the disks. I have called Adobe and they no longer support CS4. They suggested I try to find someone who has the software and get a copy of disk 2

I'm not seeing anything but individual applications (and it looks like updates, not installers) in the public forders.
You should be able to get the trial by going to Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools and following the directions VERY CAREFULLY. There is no differnce between trial and licensed installers, so you can enter your serial number when asked.
If that doesn't work, send me a Private Message (click my name to go to my profile and see the actions list on the right) and I'll see what else I might be able to do for you.

Install CS4 Production Premium from Design Premium CS3, but does not recognize CS serial number

Try almost half day already but still do not know how to overcome the problem.
My operation system is Windows XP SP3.
I am installing Production Premium CS4 and it is an update version from Design Premium CS3. I tried to input my CS3 serial number in when it is needed, but it always gave me "Invalid Serial Number". I tried to install the Design Premium CS3 to the computer. The serial number is right and programs work fine. Then I tried to install the CS4 again. First, it cannot find my CS3 just installed before. Second, the serial number for CS3 still does not work. Any idea?
I saw so many people posted the installation issues here. How come Adobe does not do anything to improve the product. I also called the customer support. After waiting 10 min, a guy asked my ID and then total silent. I called again and this time, I had to wait 20 min. Another guy told me this is tech issue so I need to call tech support. He gave me a 1-800 number but I tried, the number is invalid. I have been thought Adobe is a good company before. I really need to rethink that.

Thanks, Bob. Indeed, it was my typo in the message (not CS, should be CS3). My purchase was right (I even discussed with Adobe Store person before I placed the order). I have Design Premium CS3 and the updates I brought is the one which can update from Design Premium CS3. Actually in the menu where I can input my CS3 serial number, it has several options and one of them is exactly Design Premium CS3. See this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/upgrade/ (I ordered the 2nd option. I ordered from a vendor which charged me $579).

What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity. Thanks

What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.

<moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...
PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

Question + Adobe Design Premium CS3 Problem

Question:
When I boot up Leopard after the grey apple logo loading screen it will turn to the blue screen then directly to my desktop. In tiger it would go to the blue screen then you would see a window with a loading bar. Did they remove that in Leopard because I don't see it, it just goes directly from the blue screen to my desktop.
Adobe Design Premium Problem:
I installed Adobe Design Premium CS3, I got some functionality problems so I deleted it from my Applications folder to re-install the trial software as I was in a hurry to get InDesign working because I had an assignment due. When I tried to install InDesign CS3, it would tell me during the installation that I can't install it because of "Adobe InDesign CS3". I am assuming that it still thinks that InDesign CS3 is installed? I made sure that I had deleted all the Adobe software from my computer. It did this with my other applications too when using my CD to install Design Premium again. It's like I'm locked out of installing it? I've heard of other people having the same problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

If there isn't an answer, it usually means other users don't know the answer.
As far as the Adobe suite goes, there are two steps to deleting the suite. The first is deactivating it (I think that's on the Help menu), and the second is running the installer with the Uninstall option so that all of the files it installs in various places are removed. Is that how you did it, or did you just throw files in the Trash? If you trashed them manually, there are probably pieces left behind that are getting in the way.
That is all I know about that one. For potentially much more information, you should drop by the Adobe user forums, where there should be many more users with direct experience with the Adobe-specific install/uninstall issues. Try clicking on the "Creative Suite" forum there.

I have design premium cs3 on my old laptop which no longer works and want to put it on my desktop pc

I have design premium cs3 on my old laptop which no longer works and want to put it on my desktop pc how can I do this without buying it again i have it on my previous products page with the serial key

If you have the disks, use them to reinstall. Otherwise, you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Lost Adobe Create Suite 4 Design Premium for Windows disk #2

I have called Adobe and they no longer support CS4. They suggested I try to find someone who has the software and get a copy of disk 2. Can some please help, I don't want to upgrade to CS5

>suggested I try to find someone who has the software and get a copy of disk 2
I am surprised by that... my understanding (albeit poor) of copyright is that you are allowed to make a copy of a disc for your own personal backup storage
That does not include making a copy to give to anyone else

Hello, I own a license for Adobe CS5 Production Premium and Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows/PC. I am switching to an OSX/MAC system. Is it possible to transfer my licenses to the new platform?

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

Desktop products are generally not supported on server operating systems. That's all you will ever hear about the matter. That being so, you shouldn't expect anyone to have any answers for you. It's simply an exotic scenario and very few people, if any at all, will even have bothered to try.

Can I upgrade to Master Collection CS5.5 without uninstalling Design Premium CS3

Hi,
I work for a company that has offices worldwide, but do not have the budget to upgrade all licences which is why I need to keep InDesign/Illustrator CS3.
I wish to switch from Final Cut Express to Adobe Premier Pro/After Effects (I don't like the new Final Cut Pro X - for many reasons)
Can I upgrade to Master Collection CS5.5 without uninstalling Design Premium CS3?
Many Thanks,
Sandeep
(iMac 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 10.6.8)

Absolutely. The upgrade won't touch the earlier version.
Make sure you buy the right upgrade. Here's a link to it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/oRnKh4

Upgrading Indesign from 'Design Premium' CS3 to CS5 - compatibility

I work in-house in marketing; we're looking at upgrading two of our Adobe Design Premium CS3 suites to the CS5 version. We have four or five CS3 suite licenses but can only afford to upgrade two of them at present.
My question is about the InDesign element - do we need to have the CS4 version in order to be able to effectively save down to a version that can be used between InDesign CS3 and CS5?
I'm worried about compatibility internally and externally - we use a lot of freelance designers who mostly use CS5 - this is already causing issues as we cannot open the files they send.
Any tips/hints you can give would be gratefully received!

The ONLY way to get a file from CS5 to open in CS3 is to export from CS5 to.idml, open that in CS4, export from there to .inx, and open that in CS3. Ther esults won't look a whole lot like the original CS5 file, especially if any features were added in CS4 or CS5 have been used, and there may be noticable changes in text flow due to text engine differences between versions.
Working in collaboration across different versions is a lousy workflow.
