Problem disabling CS3

Hello, I have a copy and a serial number for Adobe CS3 Master Collection extended.

When I try to run Photoshop on my new computer, it says I have too many activations.

I'm going to my old computer with Photoshop CS3 installed to disable.

There is, however, no button disable in the Help menu. (I tried ANOTHER computer with the CS3 version on it as well, just download eLicense and return eLicense)

Oddly enough, on my new computer, it has the button disable but is grayed out, because I've never properly activated.

Is there another way I can turn off my old version of CS3 and activate it on my new computer?

Any help is appreciated!

  • Problem reinstalling CS3

    It all started with an Adobe Acrobat update that would not install.  Every time you start, I have this little icon in the system tray telling me that I had an update to install.  But all attempts to do the installation produces an error message.

    So I decided to try to reinstall CS3.

    First of all, I have disabled the license without any problem.

    I uninstalled CS3.

    I tried to reinstall, but after clicking on 'Install CS3 Design Premium', I

    installing.jpg

    The progress meter fills up, the window disappears and nothing happens after that.

    So, I ran the Adobe Creative Suite cleanup tool...

    cleanertool.jpg

    ... and that's how.  He simply stopped doing nothing at this point.

    I watched ' add / remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium 1.0.log ' and found:

    Error 1311.Source file not found: C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Desktop\Adobe CS3 Design Premium (E) \Adobe CS3\WinBootstrapper1.cab.  Check that the file exists and that you can access.

    This is about 15% of the path to the log file.  There are a lot of things after it is not contain errors.
    Anyway, you have any ideas?

    Manish from Adobe has helped me solve this problem.  Had to remove the applications install Adobe listed in the Control Panel Add/Remove list.  But he wouldn't do that until we first ran the Windows cleaning tool.  I used this tool before removing the CS3, but has not bothered to look for something else.  Today, we used the tool to remove three copies of the Adobe installation and an element at the top of the list without name.

    After that, all right.  Thanks, Manish!

    Also, I learned that the Adobe installer spends a lot of time to search through the entire hard drive for previous installations.  So the more files on your computer, more this installer will take.

  • problems reinstalling CS3

    It's actually a question about the whole CS3, not only of Photoshop, but I can't find any generic CS forum. I recently installed a new motherboard in my computer and did a repair of Windows XP SP3 installation. When I try to reinstall CS3, I get errors... everything he said that the installed component is broken (for Photoshop, Illustrator and a few others). Following the instructions from Adobe here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401401.html,

    I have run the CS5 cleaner. It doesn't seem to work properly. He hung several times. I discovered that Ctrl-C had going again, but I assume that hitting Ctrl-C has not actually fixed the problem she was having.  It failed with errors like this in the newspaper:

    I also tried to disable antivirus and uninstall Flash player.

    One problem is that in the window Panel of configuration/Add / Remove Programs, it still shows CS3. But by clicking on the entry of CS3 to show all windows. It of as if we're trying to run something, but immediately crashes.

    I recently installed a new motherboard in my computer and did a repair of Windows XP SP3 installation.

    That was not smart! I'm afraid you will have to start over and reinstall Windows properly after reformatting of drives with a full format. Installation of systems is specifically related to a specific drive and partition and swapping controllers or change their mode of command affects sector mapping, and the unique ID associated with Windows specific tips for safety and startup. Those have definitely changed and now Win cannot access some of this, especially invisible sectors and the remains of your system previous page file. To start, due to this inherent behavior of Windows, a lot of your permissions of files and the properties are FUBARd. So, you are inevitably bound to run into a lot more of these problems also with non-Adobe products. You can of course spend an afternoon trying to sort it manually by changing the file permissions and setting of the inaccessible areas, but you might get faster results in just reformat everything and install win from scratch...

  • What is the last solution for the problem disabled Windows Firewall in Vista?

    I have Windows vista 64 bit on a PC.
    I've tried about 5 different error 0x6D9 code search solutions.
    Nothing seems to help.
    In short, when I pull up the GUI firewall I press "Turn firewall on or off" and get "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings.
    When I hit "Update settings now", I hear a 'boing '.
    When I pull up of Windows Firewall with advanced security, I said that "Windows Firewall with Security Advanced snap-in failed to load." Restart the firewall service on the computer that you are managing. Error 0x6D9 code.
    In addition, Security Center is not displayed.
    My firewall has been down for at least 5 months. I've ignored except that now I really need for my taxes. TurboTax does not refresh without a firewall running, it seems.
    I tried: Windows updates. Yes, they have updated.
    I disabled my firewall.
    I turned off the normal charge and tried to do a clean load without any program except for MS loading programs.  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    I tried to do the Security Center to activate automatically by running services. The only problem is that there is no security poster Center.

  • Problems installing CS3 on Windows 10

    I got CS3 installed on my PC and decided to upgrade to Windows 10. The update went without problems and my Creative Suite CS worked perfectly for several months until the other day, when I have received a message on my driver's license does not. I tried several solutions suggested for me nothing works and finally decided to uninstall applications and reinstall them. The relocation went well until the end, when the installer said that "some problems" had been raised during the installation. Problems can be summed up that none of the applications had to be installed. I tried again half a dozen to reinstall without success. There was an indication of the problems during the process, nor any explanation of why it was not possible to install. What could be the reason?

    The only other suggestion is to run the CC cleanup tool after uninstalling. This cleans the registry and nothing behind.

    Choose your application named in the list in the CC cleaning tool. Then re-boot your computer and try a new installation.

    Use the cleaning of creative cloud tool to resolve installation problems

  • To Windows 7 problem with CS3

    I have CS3 which I bought in 2007. It was an upgrade to Dreamweaver MX Studio. Like many people, I had to upgrade my desktop and laptop for Windows 7 XP. I turn off on both machines, it redownloaded and after installing it, takes my serial number, but not the update of Studio MX serial number. Cat tried to support, telephone support I tried, but no help. Oddly enough, I found a transcript of chat of 2007 when I first installed and had the same problem at the time. Do I have any recourse?

    Hi Rod,

    I checked the case notes and serial number must be unlocked.

    I what was necessary, and it should be good now.

  • Drop Shadow problem in CS3

    I am running PS CS3 in Win7 and have noticed a strange problem.  I have a psd with a layer in which I have struck-out or erase the background.  I have a topic forground and the rest is transparent.  I have another layer beneath it.  I had a shadwo drop and when I increase the spread everything is ok.   Can I increase the size and I see a whole bunch of shadows that have nothing to do with the forground subject.

    Is there something in the layer because of the shade.  I tried several different layers with different colors to reveal what is there.  I don't see anything.  However if I use the magic wand, I would choose 'something'.  If I delete or hide in the location of the shadow, it disappears.  Something is there, why he can't be seen?

    Something is there, why he can't be seen?

    Because technically, even 0.00001 opacity is not 100% transparent and you're human - your eyes cannot distinguish these small differences in color and your computer cannot display it to start, either. Also have responded pretty well to your own question - they are stray pixels with a very low opacity and have to clean them properly.

  • Problems of CS3 with the registration for the web and devices

    Recently, I had a problem to save my files for the Web and devices and the problem I have is that when I save the file, it registers in a version very very crisp illustration pixelated, I created.  I can easily copy and paste the file from Illustrator into Photoshop and save it like that but I would much rather just save in Illustrator.

    I'll get the CS5 package little time, however I was not sure if this problem continues also in CS5.

    It should not be a problem in CS 3 either, certainly not in CS5.

    Try this

    PC

    1. quit Illustrator.
    2. rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) user / AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings(user)folder.
    3. launch Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

    Also, here must be a backup of the Web folder as well trash who should also be in the same directory.

    Mac

    1. quit Illustrator.
    2. go to user/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and parameters, the entire record of the trash not only the contents of the folder...
    3. launch Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

    Also here must be a backup of the Web folder as well trash who should also be in the same directory

  • By aligning problems in CS3

    I have problems Kaleidoscope anything in CS3. I can align objects with each other, but if I just want something centered in the area of harvest he will do nothing. I changed it back and forth between the area of culture and art Board and nothing happens anyway. I know you can do this in CS2, but since I got CS3 there is a problem. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

  • Problems in CS3 and AS3 with embedded fonts

    Hello. I recently downloaded the trial version of CS3 to test. I am an experience AS2 developer, and have 10 years of C, C++, c#, Java, PHP... programming experience on MAJOR projects starting before flash.

    I tried to use a font embedded in AS3 with a dynamically created textfield. I tried all the examples of ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook from O'Reilly. They suggest using the [Embed] metadata tag, but quite honestly it doesn't do anything in CS3. I got the size selected report option, and it clearly shows by the size of file that the police is not present in the SWF file.

    Then I tried to do like I did in Flash 8. There still no luck. My TextField exists, but it is simple no rendered police... Here is my piece of code.

    In my library, I have a symbol called arialBold. In the connection settings, I have "Export for ActionScript" checked and "Export in first frame" checked. The class is "arialBold" but I wonder if it's true? and the Base class is 'flash.text.Font.

    I tried all the variations I could think. I have to do something wrong. You can find my file here:

    Thanks for your help! You can solve this problem, I would be very happy!



    Well, that's the way it was supposed to work, but I think what integrate coding Flex 2 and does not work with actionscript 3.0.

    Here's something that works: embed a font as you did for a.s. 2 and give it a class name (say _comicSansReg). You can then use:

  • Problem recording CS3 on new computer

    I installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium on my Macbook air. I had to digitally my computer lacks a disk drive. The copy I have is a license student when I was in College. I installed the program easily, but I can not get the product to record.

  • Problem installing CS3

    Hello

    I own design premium CS3 and CS4 production premium. I recently deleted CS3 to save disk space. Today, I realized that my CS4 included not Dreamweaver. So I downloaded and installed Dreamweaver CS3 from the Adobe download page. However when I run the program wonder my serial number. I enter my serial number for CS3, but I get a message saying "the serial number you entered is not valid." I type the number exactly as it comes in print on my installation disc box I can say. I triple checked the number. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can install the program correctly?

    Thanks for any help,

    -Joe

    So I downloaded and installed Dreamweaver CS3 from the Adobe download page

    Looks like you downloaded the standalone version of Dreamweaver CS3, and you enter your serial number CS3 Design Premium Creative Suite to try to allow them. Will not work.

    From a point of view of serial number CS3 Design Premium Creative Suite and Dreamweaver CS3 standalone are two completely independent products, unconnected with

    CS3 Design Premium serial number only works for more. No stand-alone products.

    You must install Dreamweaver CS3 via the installer for CS3 Design Premium Suite. You can install one, some, or all of the individual software titles via the installer of the suite.
