CS3 crossgrade/getting upgraded?

I have CS3 for Windows that I bought many years ago. I plan to transfer to a Mac, but is it possible to transfer my suite for Mac? I can't afford to buy a new product and have not been able to find the cost of an upgrade anywhere.

I tried to find how I could do it but found no clear answers.

Thank you

Otherwise, you might consider a subscription to the creative cloud. It's much less expensive than an outright purchase, and you will be updated with a version designed for modern operating systems.

  • Can I keep CS3 during the upgrade to CS4?

    I intend to upgrade to CS4 (design premium) very soon, but want to keep the CS3. A representative from Adobe told me that when the upgrade to CS4, installation is written above CS3. Is this correct? I thought there was a way to keep the CS3 during the upgrade to CS4. If so, is this a special option which must be selected in the insatll? Reason being, I have a couple of clients who want jobs delivered in native format - some works in CS3 (InDesign) and one who works in CS2 (w/files in the InDesign Interchange format). Thanks for your help.

    By default, it installs in places that won't disturb your CS3 components.

  • Illustrator CS3 crashes after upgrade to Yosemite

    I just upgraded to Yosemite on my Macbook 2010 pro.  Everything seems to work great except Adobe Illustrator CS3.  The rest of the suite Adobe creative works great - photoshop, Indesign etc but not illustrator.  When I launched the application after the upgrade, I was asked to install a Java Update I did, I raised then Illustrator, he opened the window initialization and looked like it was going to work but it froze and I had to force quit.  Now, it is not passed the window initialization and does not open.  I cleaned the cache of police and I started my mac in safe mode, illustrator works in this mode, but when I start again as usual it still does not work here.  I tried to find that the users preferences file, so I can remove it, but I can't find this file and not really sure if this is what I have to do to get it working anyway!  Unfortunately I do not have installation disks therefore am not able to uninstall and reinstall the Suite.  If anyone can give me help I would be very grateful!  Earlier, I am very frustrated and wish that I had never updated!  Thank you in advance and thank you for taking the time to read my thread.

    I also had problems with Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Yosemite. After the upgrade, I installed Java for OS X 2014-001, as suggested by others. It seemed to work (sometimes), but when I opened Illustrator for the 2nd time it could not open. Illustrator open without crashing, but she has not shown all the menus, if I open a .ai file file is load and display on the screen, but I couldn't click on the window (not responding). This essentially useless Illustrator. I tried the following:

    • Re-Setup
    • Install Java for OS X 2014-001
    • Police of cleaning cache
    • The permissions checking
    • Install other versions of Java (JRE or JDK)

    Nothing seemed to help. Until at last 15 minutes ago I found the solution by chance:

    1. Open System Preferences > Java
    2. Wait for the Java Control Panel to load
    3. Open Adobe Illustrator (while keeping the window open Java Control Panel)

    I hope this will also help others!

  • the Ae cs3 to cs5 upgrade

    I get bought a second hand Ae cs3 to cs5 update.

    Everything is perfectly fine with the product.

    Except that when I run the upgrade, and when he asks me the serial number of my previous product, upgrader does not recognize my cs3 production premium series...

    I guess that this valuation would love that I had bought only an Ae cs3 instead of the production premium suite.

    I don't want CC, and I want just my Ae to go of cs3 to cs5.

    Adobe, I'm disappointing. Please give me a quick solution.

    Best regards, f.

    Contact by web chat support. As a general rule, however, you get what you expect - suites can only be upgraded to suites. You should ask before rather than making a noise about it now.

  • Mid-project CS3 to CS5 upgrade cause major problems - please help!

    Hi all

    Despite having been a user since version 6.0, I've never used the forums so I'm new here.

    I have major dillemas following a big update at a critical time and feel completely abandoned by Adobe on this.

    I worked on a major project for more than a year.  Recently, the project requirements has become too expensive for my dual core Pentium running Premiere CS3.  CS3 has never been a program too stable during projects to get to a certain size, but this time frequent accidents were doing impossible things.  Furthermore, when I tried the functions of project management to consolidate and save my work, they would fail ("unknown error"), leaving my precious work extremely vulnerable.

    I contacted Adobe to inquire if I could build a new system first CS5 running and my project to import to CS3 to continue my work (which is now late with the customer).  The wizard of support said yes, there was complete backward compatibility.  You know what's coming...!

    I bought the new system (Pentium i7 860 8 GB of RAM, 1gig Graphics GTX460, striped disk Western Digital Mybook Firewire 800) and CS5 upgrade and has got it all.  I brought my project in CS5 by using the project import/set function in the menu.  My project appeared and I was hoping that everything was fine.  When I tried to read, the problems have become apparent.  Photos are all fine blue vertical lines from the top down, washed out colors and do not play smoothly.  The main monitor cannot read the timeline - it can only display the first image selected.  After a short period of reading, the whole program seems to go in slow motion. not an accident, but an impractical slows down.  The timeline, then stops responding and cannot be read.  When I first open the program, it takes about 5 minutes to load everything - that can't be right surely?

    Basically, it seems that CS5 is unable to manage my project of CS3 all despite the fact that, although large, it should be relatively easy.  It's a SD PAL widescreen project which is at the stage of rough cut.  I have not yet applied classification or something particularly complex (my system CS3 used to have difficulties handling of projects after that I applied Magic Bulllet looks like).  All sequences are in standard DV AVI format and was shot on a XLH1a.  The project also contains an uncompressed AVI file.

    The main thing is that I have spent a small fortune here all this because the old CS3 software was not working properly and I desperately need to finish this project.  Now the money has gone, CS3 is not stable enough to work on, CS5 on a brand new i7 machine work hardly at all, and my neck is on the line with the customer.  The work is sitting in limbo when I should be plug on with it.

    Sorry if this all sounds a bit (Christmas emotional stress?) but I would lovingly welcome all hero/heroine who can come to my rescue.  I'm so disappointed with Adobe right now.

    Thanks in advance,

    Paul

    The blue vertical lines: for the Nvidia graphics card, it's a quality 3D setting that is causing the problem.  Set the parameter to "let the application decide."

    Untie the uncompressed avi and see how works the rest.

    Check your Adobe account online to see if it has your serial number information (look in the section Plans and products).  Otherwise, if you have the software installed on a machine oldest then you might be able to acquire the serial number using one of the following tools.  After that, you can download the installation files if you no longer.

    I have Dreamweaver CS6 but want to update for cc, how ever I did mine and I sign in and upward at the site web adobe and want to use css Designer because with my courses, I do and they use CC. How can I get the upgrade with this new refund. Thank you

    There is no way to update the version of perpetual license / DWCS6 drive to the creative cloud, they are two completely separate programs. There used to be a discount for the Creative Suite owners switch to CC, but that ship has sailed.
