Recover lost key of Adobe Creative Suite CS5 Design Premium

After installing Microsoft security essentials, my install for cs3 files have disappeared. I can not find them anywhere even after installing cs3 on my desk, I still can't get back them. and I don't know where to look for the product key, to be able to install photoshop 3, which will allow you to install with product key.

Unfortunately, you probably not luck.

Maybe before having re-installed the application, etc.--* maybe * something like Belarc Advisor (which you are welcome to install, run and check the results of the present moment) would have revealed the serial number of the applications installed - including CS3.  However, if you have recuilt the system or overwritten when the product key would be in the registry/etc - then this option is lost to you (except if you happen to keep images/backup system you can restore to-of course if you did, you probably would have just restored.)

Your "subscription" to Adobe was probably nothing more than your email stored with them.  Unless you had an account you could connect to in the past and you see all current license - that's all it was.  Just, you had an account and told them what products you owned and subscribed to a basic email "newsletter" centered around what belongs to you.

Now - you said you bought the disc (CD) for Adobe CS3 - the serial number would have been inside this package... So I guess that the package is lost?

The serial number is NOT stored on the CD - this is just the Setup files.  The installation files can be used with MANY different series numbers and would never know the difference, nor care.  Maintenance of the serial number, I fear, was totally in your hands.

I have not heard of the "known issue" that Microsoft Security Essentials to uninstall an application like Adobe CS3 and delete the serial number of the system completely.  Even if I had - I'd end up at the same point...

If you have purchased Adobe CS3 (one of the suites) and have the CD - you should have serial number too.  If you have lost your serial number - no matter HOW the system got into trouble or the installed version of Adobe CS3 has been lost (what would you do if the machine has been physically stolen?  The hard drive crashed?  There was a bolt of lightning and the destroyed machine?  Someone do you trust (or yourself) decided a new facility would help other questions and I forgot to check you have the serial number, first?) -C' is your responsibility to keep up with the installation media and the serial number of the Adobe product.  :-(
