Using CS3 for Windows on my Mac

On my old PC I used CS3.  I now have a MAC and I installed Parallels and Window 7 in the hope that I could install CS3 on my Mac.  The following message appears ""licensing for this product has stopped working".  Help please!

Maybe one of the solutions here will work:

  • 8130 trying to use BB desktop software using Parrallels for Windows on a MAC

    I have a blackberry 8130 which I used to sync on a Windows machine using the BB desktop software.  It worked great allowing me to transfer my contacts from Act! contact management software.
    I have moved to a Mac and use Parrallels software to run Windows in the background on my Mac.  All my software works fine but i cannot get the blackberry desktop software to recognize my 8130.  ie - it does not show it as connected.
    Suggestions? 

    When configuring your Parallels windows profile, make sure that the USB ports are bridged into the client (windows) operating system. It's the same thing as with the CD-Rom drive, except that you may need to enter the configuration screen, and explicitly state that you want the USB connections to be mapped to windows as well.

    Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
    At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions.  I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

  • Upgrade from CS3 for Windows to CS5 for Mac?

    I recently bought a MacBook and would like to upgrade to CS5 ans install this version on my MacBook even though I originally bought CS3 for Windows. Is this possible?

    Does this involve the Certificate of Software Destruction stuff ?
    I mean can I now just buy a Windows based CS 5 Web Premium upgrade edition,
    and use my CS3 Mac MasterCollection serial as the origin point for the upgrade ?
    I see now for example Photoshop Elements 9 has both win and mac in the package (??)

  • CS3 for Windows on Mac System

    I´ve bougth CS3 for windows and I have been using it.
    I´m thinking about to get a MAC... can I use my dvds to install????

    You can install Boot Camp, Fusion or Parallels and install Windows under
    either of those three systems. Then you can install CS3 for Windows.
    With Parallels and Fusion, you can run Windows CS3 and have your Mac OS
    running in tandem. You can copy and paste between the Mac and PC sides.
    In fact Windows CS3 will run better on the Mac than running the Mac
    version of CS3 under Leopard. There are far fewer problems. The speed is
    very good while running under Parallels or Fusion. The speed under Boot
    Camp is as good as running it under any comparable PC.

  • Printer shared from my Mac is not seen from a PC using Bonjour for Windows

    I am going nuts here, hope someone can help.
    I have a Canon multi-function printer (MP830) attached via USB to a Mac G4 (with Mac OS X Tiger). At one time, I had it set so a Windows 2000 PC could print to it but deinstalled it after some printing issues, and have been unable to get to working again. The machines are connected together via a Netgear router. As far as I know, everything is the same as it was before, yet I cannot get it to work as it did.
    - The printer works fine from the Mac.
    - If I connect the printer to the PC, it works fine.
    - On the PC, using Bonjour for Windows, I cannot see the printer attached to the Mac but I can see, and print to, an Epson printer that is attached to a different Mac.
    - And from the second Mac, I am able to see -- but not successfully print to -- the Canon printer. The print job stays in the queue of the second Mac and says "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry... Error: Connection failed with error."
    - I have tried:
    -- de-installing and re-installing Bonjour for Windows and the Canon print drivers on the PC
    -- and have de-installed and re-installed the Canon drivers on the Mac
    -- I have removed and re-added the Canon printer on the Mac. Printer Sharing is on, and this printer is checked in the Sharing box.
    Any suggestions?
    G4 Quicksilver and Dell PC with Windows 2000   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Canon MP830

    Thank you. Those are beautifully written procedures.
    Looks like it's a network issue. I reach the step, "Adding a printer using the wizard":
    You must enter the following URL, you must use the Queue Name you noted down earlier
    http://<IP address of Mac>:631/printers/Queue Name
    which I do, entering
    http://192.168.0.4:631/printers/MP830
    and I get the following error:
    "Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server."
    And then I am toast!
    Using the other procedure, I simply don't see the Mac's printers in the Bonjour Wizard's "Browse for Bonjour Printers" window.
    Not sure where to go from here -- any ideas?
    The Mac's IP (set via DHCP) is 192.168.0.4, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The PC is 192.168.0.5, I can't find the subnet mask.
    Pretty sure it's a network config issue, especially isnce I can Bonjour to my other Mac.
    TIA...

  • I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again

    I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again?

    No.
    Adobe only offers a Platform Swap on current software: Order product | Platform, language swap
    CS3 is also too old to have an "upgrade path" and is no longer sold or supported by Adobe.
    You do, as a CS3 owner, qualify for a 40% discount on your first year of a Creative Cloud Subscription though: Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    If you don't want to go with the subscription service, Adobe does still offer CS6 (4 versions away from current & no longer receiving updates) as a "one time payment/download" perpetual license: Creative Suite 6

  • 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.

  • How to install PS CS3 for Windows on my new iMac? [was:New computer]

    I have a new iMAC and would like to download Photoshop CS3 extended. I had before a PC and I have the serial number. Is there a way? I really need to install it and dont mind to upgrade it.

    I didn't deactivate the account in my old pc because it is broken and cannot get it. Maybe is that the resaon why doesn't work?
    Not related.
    The reason it doesn't work is because perptually licensed products (such as your CS3 for Windows) are always issued with serial numbers specific to your operating system. Mac only serial numbers cannot be used on Windows. Likewise Windows serials cannot be used on Macs.
    In short, you cannot install your CS3 Windows on your new iMac.
    Your best option to get Photoshop on your iMac now is to join the Cloud, which you can do at a discounted monthly fee since you're a CS3 owner.
    If you own Photoshop CS3 standalone retail version - not a suite or an educational version - then you could do it for $9.99/month and get Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 + extras

  • Can't Download Safari for Windows from a Mac

    Hello All,
    iTunes is no problem, but Safari and QuickTime won't let a Mac download the Windows versions. With iTunes, one can click a link to go to the Windows version, but there is no link for Safari or QuickTime. I have a stand-alone Windows XP SP3 computer. Although I don't use it on the Internet, I test web sites locally on it, so I need Safari to ensure compatibility. Does anyone know how to get to the Windows version from a Mac?
    Jim

    Sanjac--
    I'm not sure you can; it's determined by your op system. Even if you could load Safari for Windows on a Mac, you'd actually have to be running Windows--and if that were the case, I suspect you wouldn't have had to post the question.
    Best of luck-
    Doc
