Need serial number to install CS3

I had a Mac for 10 years and had installed on CS3.  Recently, the computer broke and I was forced to buy a new.  I bought a new desktop computer, however there is no port for me to insert the CD in the computer.  Now when I try to get my serial number for CS3 Design Standard box, it tells me to go to www.myidentit-e.com/adobe/na... Problem is that I don't have to make an account for more than 10 years and I don't remember my account details (email / pass / etc.) So basically, I feel that I hit a dead-end.  I called customer service and they told me to do a post on these forums to see if anyone could help me.  Is there somewhere I can go in person with the discs and the box to get the serial number?  I really need this redownloaded program on my computer that I use it for school and work and I cannot afford to buy a new program!   PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!

It is strange that you would be rerouted to myidentit portal. This is usually to check the status of student. Is your CS3 version education? Also, are you sure that you enter a serial number or is it possibly a redemption code? Redemption codes are used when you buy software from a third party reseller. They are generally alphanumeric and entered once to get your serial number, which counts only. I ask because the entry of a redemption code could take you the myidentit portal to check the status of education, but a serial number should not do that.

I would recommend going on suggestions in this help document to see if you can check/retrieve your serial number: find the serial number of your product Adobe quickly. I know that you said you don't remember your account details, but maybe you can make a guess to this e-mail you used 10 years ago. Your e-mail address = your Adobe ID, and you can use it to to sign in-Adobe ID to get the serial number.

I doubt that it is doesn't matter wherever you can go in person with the discs and the box to get the serial number. Once again, if you bought CS3 from a retailer, the numbers on the packaging are probably redemption codes, and you must go through the steps to quickly find the serial number of your Adobe product. If you purchased directly from Adobe and the numbers are indeed a serial number, you should be able to enter it when prompted during installation without a redirect to myidentit.

By the way, since you do not have a CD drive on the new computer, you can download CS3 directly and install it: products download Adobe Creative Suite 3. Make sure you download the correct version you have (IE. CS3 Design Standard, not one of the other links). Your serial number will work for the suite that you have purchased.

Finally, Szalam is right that CS3 may not work on the new Mac operating system, which is El Capitan. CS3 is nearly 10 years old and has not been tested on modern operating systems. That said, it is worth it, especially for us poor cash flow types.
