![]() Towards the bottom of the XML you may find a tag If it contains your old serial then remove the original file from C:\ProgramData\ to a safe location and retry the CS3 installation process. txt and open in a text editor like Wordpad. Copy these files to the desktop and change the suffix from. These are basically XML file and contain the product serial number. With Creative Cloud mine is '_CreativeCloud-CS6-Win-GM-MUL.swidtag', but you would be looking for one with CS3 in the title. ![]() If '\' is there it will contain some very oddly named files. It's possible there may also be other regid folders present, but I only have Creative Cloud and Acrobat so cannot test that. Now navigate to the folder C:\ProgramData\. Uninstall CS3 from the Control Panel again and then run the Cleanup tool once more. In the Windows 10 File Manager go to 'view' and check the 'Hidden Items' box like below. It sounds as if the Cleanup Tool is not removing your old serial number. Primary Plug-ins folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\ĭoubt if it will help me any, but just curious. Temporary file path: C:\Users\KARLP~1.HP-\AppData\Local\Temp\ System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:14, Stepping:3 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, HyperThreadingĪpplication folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\ Here is what mine displays:Īdobe Photoshop Version: 10.0 (10.0x20070321 ) Could you look under Help/System and see if your old serial number is there or if you have a different version of software. When I start CS3 Photoshop I still get the re-activate page. We followed the same steps, but unfortunately have different results. I think it requires Adobe to change my CS3 activation and apparently they will not do it. It also displays an Activation Number and then expects you to type in an authorization code that you receive from calling the phone number that does not work. It must be coming from Adobe, which makes me believe my CS3 needs to be de-activated by Adobe, but "they do not support CS3 anymore". Screen displays my old serial # (where does it get it, if everything was cleaned from my computer. Selected Re-Activate which fails (assume because activation servers are no longer online), then selected Phone Activation Still receiving same Temporary Activation message that I initially received last week, except it now says I only have a day left to re-activate this software. Download, extract and install all ran as administrator. Went to the CS3 Activation Help page and received new serial 3 (which is always the same) and downloaded CS3 without using the installer product. Ran the Creative Clouds Cleanup routine, selecting the CS3/CS4 option Ran regedit to look for any PS3 remnants that may provide old serial #. Uninstalled CS3 as well as the required installer program Who knows what Adobe will doe to Photoshop 2021 next.I could NOT get it working and am out of ideas. ![]() Currently I find Photoshop 2020 is better then Photoshop 2021. You should keep versions of Photoshop that work well for your work installed for some new Adobe update could easily impact you work flow. Adobe Impacts all users work flow with some changes. Function get moved to Bridge and Lightroom and are also discontinued. For example CS3 has Picture Package and Web Photo Galleries. Adobe Changes, Removes, and Add Photoshop features all the time. There are compatibility issues between versions of Photoshop. It is also a good Idea to have some older version of Photoshop installed. CS3 is a 32 Bit Application New Apple Systems do not Support 32 Bit Applications. Even has a compatibility trouble shooter.Īpple does not treat their customers as well as Microsoft does. Windows 10 support old applications for the most part older software that does not runs properly on Windows 10 Microsoft has implemented in windows 10 compatibility modes of operation for older windows applications. So old customers could still Install and use CS3 if they wanted to. So Window users that choose to install the newest version of Windows can still install and use CS3 with the installer and their new serial number. Adobe gave old CS3 users an opportunity to download a CS3 installer that requires a new Serial they could obtain from Adobe to install a CS3 Photoshop Version that doed not require Activation.
