Now it is time to open Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended and enter the Serial Number 10.
Update June 2, 2007: If you’re here because you’re trying to rip me off by somehow stealing Photoshop (via serial number, keygen, crack, etc.), you’re a thieving putz, and you’ll get no satisfaction here. May someone steal your hard work as you try to steal ours. –J.
We continue to receive inquiries about Photoshop CS3 beta serial numbers. There are a number of issues here:. On Friday we discovered that a small percentage of the more than 3,000 product combinations that include Photoshop weren’t in the authentication list. Unfortunately this bit quite a few people trying to obtain CS3 serials. We fixed that issue on Friday afternoon. Licensing customers have been in bit of a bind: even though they’re authorized to use a CS2 serial on multiple machines, the beta site is configured to issue serials that can be activated on only two machines.
If you’re a licensing customer, please send mail to so that we can follow up with you (see details below). Some people are typing in the 20-digit serial number that’s visible in the CS2 About box. That makes total sense, except that the serial number is actually 24 digits long! That is, you need to get your serial number from your product materials. Again, we’re working to make this clear on the. A lot of people aren’t reading the instructions on the Labs site.
Many are typing their CS2 numbers into CS3, then complaining that it doesn’t work. We’re working to make the instructions harder to miss.
If you’re still having problems with serial numbers and CS3, please send mail to Important: in order to handle the process efficiently, your email needs to contain the following info (I suggest copy/paste):. Email address in the subject line (a weird eRoom quirk, but without it we can’t reach you). First and last name:.
Issue statement:. CS2 serial number (24-digits long):. CS3 serial number (if applicable):. Are you a CS2 single or volume license customer?
(Y or N):. If volume license, approximately how many CS2 licenses do you own?:. Daytime phone number with area code:. Daytime e-mail address: Customer service says they’ll turn things around in 48-72 hours. (There’s no need to call them, as phone support is not available for the beta.) I know that it’s frustrating to hit any delays, and we greatly appreciate your patience. We’re just four days into a huge, never-been-done-here effort, but we’re making good progress. Roy Burnett — 9:56 AM on December 21, 2006 I have all neccesary numbers but can not install on a computer that is not connected to internet.
Why do I have to be connected to interet? CS2 single Was told to voice my concern to this blog. Thank you for your time. Roy Roy, I’m afraid that’s just a limitation of the beta.
When the product is actually shipping you’ll be able to use the phone to activate, as you can today, but that’s not set up yet for CS3. For what it’s worth, you need to be connected for all of 10 seconds, if that, to activate your software. Dale Cockrum — 1:47 PM on December 21, 2006 I’m a CS owner who has never felt the need to upgrade to CS2, but I now have a MacBook Pro and really want to try (and buy) CS3. A 2 day trial of the new Intel version of Photoshop is scarcely helpful! How about an advance upgrade option for those of us who want to give this thing a try?!
Or perhaps a deal where I could upgrade to CS2 and get CS3 when it comes out (and use the betas until then) Sorry, by for a variety of reasons those things aren’t possible. There are benefits to being a current customer, and this beta is one of them. In any case, it would not be fair to the people who paid for CS2 if we simply gave away those features to everyone. Tyson Blades — 11:18 AM on December 22, 2006 “unable to generate activation code. Telephone support directed me here.
I have internet connection but we typically have issues with software activation and downloads and installation that require connection to the internet. What are my options.” I am having the same issues. After launching (OS X Tiger), I could not generate an activation code either on the phone or over the internet. It still says I have 2 days left. The phone support directed me here. What do I do?
Tyson, a Net connection is needed to activate the software. When it’s actually shipping you’ll be able to use the phone for activation, but now you need a connection. For what it’s worth, activation takes a matter of seconds, so you don’t need to be connected for long. Kerri — 7:49 AM on January 06, 2007 I think what some folks aren’t realizing is that you’re not supposed put your CS2 serial into the CS3 serial box — you’re supposed to go to and put in your CS2 serial to generate a CS3 serial. I missed that instruction — it was in greyed-out (which generally means ‘not critical to read, only come back and read me if you have a problem’) text at the bottom of an otherwise informative web page. It would be nice for the beta’s serial reg box to actually tell users this.
Thanks for all the help and info. Richard Mandelkorn — 4:09 PM on January 09, 2007 After a couple of weeks of using CS3 Beta it crashed one day while opening a tif file and a message window appeared on restart titled:Licensing for this product has stopped working. It goes on to say: I can’t use the product (CS3 Beta), I have to repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling, which I’ve done, but despite that I continue to get this error window on startup. Can someone get me back up and running? I should add that I also, like others here have already entered my Adobe supplied “NEW” CS2 serial number which initially had me ok for the first few weeks. Now, like others, I can’t get past this initial error window to accomplish anything. — 8:50 AM on January 11, 2007 Howdy.
I’ve been demoing CS3 in Windows Vista for a couple of days and I’ve noticed that it has an issue with layer manipulation. Generally CS3 is ridonculously fast for everything I put it to until I try to do layer manipulation (moving layers about, dragging them to the trash can, etc), at which point CS3 gets jumpy. I noticed in CS2 as well and I had hoped that CS3 would be better optimized with Vista since it seems like CS3 will launch during the “Vista Era”. I don’t experience this problem using the same machine with XP. Hmm–I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’ll pass along the report to QE for review. Thanks for mentioning it. Margaret Lawther — 1:55 PM on January 21, 2007 Thanks for getting back to me on the cursors for the brush tools.
Sorry, but I can’t seem to find where I choose to open with Rosetta. I selected the Photoshop icon and then went to “get info”.
I can’t find where it is in the window. Please clarify this. You’re running on an Intel-based Mac, right? (Otherwise Rosetta isn’t an option.) Make sure that Photoshop isn’t running, then select the Photoshop icon and press Cmd-I to get info.
The Rosetta checkbox should be pretty easy to see. Click it, then relaunch Photoshop. Sean — 8:12 PM on January 22, 2007 Quick question, perhaps this is what the individual posting in Spanish above was pointing out, but when I opened the CS3 Beta it stated I could choose to begin a 30-day trial, now its telling me I only have a day left on my 2-day trial. Obvious misprint or is it a 30-day trial and the warning dialog box is wrong?
Yeah–I think it’s a bug (something we didn’t catch) that the initial screen says 30 days. The trial period is, in fact, 2 days, and I think the Labs site says so. But the disconnect has caused confusion; sorry about that.
Terry — 4:04 PM on February 09, 2007 I go to download Photoshop CS3 beta version and I receive an error. I am immediately directed to the adobe download website where there is no option of downloading the Photoshop CS3 beta. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, were they able to resolve the issue? I look forward to your reply. Thank you Terry Terry, would you let me know the specifics of the error you’re seeing?
I also recommend asking on the, as you’re likely to get an answer more quickly there. Erika — 11:33 AM on February 18, 2007 I’m having trouble getting the PS CS3 setup to run. I’m using a MacBook Pro with 10.4.8 and whenever I try to run the setup file, I am asked for my password.
I type it in and a window with a progression bar that says “Initializing Setup” opens up. After about 2 seconds it disappears. I don’t know what’s wrong and I can’t find the installed PS CS3 anywhere. Would someone please help me? Please, I’d appreciate any ideas. Thanks kindly.
Erika I’m afraid I don’t know the answer. I recommend asking on the. Joe — 7:06 PM on March 01, 2007 I know Adobe thinks new Mac/intel consumers wanting to use this beta should pay $$$ for the privelidge of three months use of CS2 so they can then pay more $$ for the upgrade. What’s the benefit of becoming a (new) “current customer” when I have to pay extra money for the technology of the last release just so I can get something that works on my computer? Adobe should really think about offering new customers some ability to buy access to this intel-operable release without having to spend extra $$$ while waiting for a critical upgrade. As of now, there’s no reason to buy Photoshop and I’m really getting tired of waiting. Why not figure out some way to make a sale to me NOW?
Mia — 1:04 PM on March 14, 2007 Thanks for getting back to me on the cursors for the brush tools. Sorry, but I can’t seem to find where I choose to open with Rosetta. I selected the Photoshop icon and then went to “get info”.

Henry Stoffel — 9:46 PM on March 17, 2007 I ran into a problem yesterday after two months of no-problems -CS3 just refused to startup on my WinXP laptop. The last time it was used it was just shut down 4 days ago and yesterday CS3 would not start.
OK reboot – NG. Time to reinstall. Well, 4 attempts later and still no CS3. The beta uninstall program seems to be as buggy as their page setup program, you go through the motions and it says finished, but NOTHING is uninstalled. Only the uninstall program thinks its working – sort of.
The complete program and files and registry entries (3700+) are all intact. OK, time to reinstall. First after the second attempt to use Adobes CS3 uninstall, I manually deleted the entire Photoshop CS3 folder, and then used a registry editor to find all the dead registry links and deleted all of them. Then I used Registry Vacuum to check the registry again – found another 250 dead ends. Should be clean. Time to reinstall – so I run the CS3 installer, install ALL (this time it adds things I skipped the first time, (stock photos, device central, Fonts, Linguistics plugin, etc) and even though there is nothing on the hard drive and most if not all of the CS3 registry entries should be gone, the installer THINKS that CS3 is still on my hard drive and asks me to cherry pick the new installs or reinstalls (old CS3) which I thought I deleted. I reinstall everything hoping that the installer will recreate the Photoshop CS3 folder, but no luck – Now the installer tells me it repaired the installation and is finished – BUT THERE IS NO Photoshop CS3 folder.
I uninstall everything through the CS3 setup routine, and then I go to /program files/Common Files/ and manually delete everything Adobe CS3, run the registry cleaners again to clean out the dead links and run the setup again – CS3 still thinks the original install is on the PC (noted by (reinstall) after modules) but the same scenario repeats! 1)Where does CS3 put the installed modules in the registry (or elsewhere) so I can delete it and try to finally uninstall and then reinstall? 2)I suspect when CS3 RTM is finally out, I’m still going to need some way to clean out CS3 Beta before I install CS3Final.
Shulfei — 1:08 PM on April 04, 2007 kemenyadi, and all other peoples that have problems in installation! I`m have problem “Installation cannot continue until the following applications are closed. Internet Explorer” in installation process too! My solution this problem easy: -1- just rename “C: Program Files Internet Explorer iexplore.exe” to “C: Program Files Internet Explorer iexplore.ex”; -2- stop all process “IEXPLORE.EXE” in task manager; -3- and run setup.exe installation CS3. After installation dont forget rename “C: Program Files Internet Explorer iexplore.ex” to “C: Program Files Internet Explorer iexplore.exe”.:) Good luck!
— 11:32 AM on May 02, 2007 Yikes! My purchased and registered CS3 says its license has expired! This after de-activating and uninstalling the Beta version as per instructions, followed by successful installation, registration, and use of the release version of CS3 until this morning. Stan Stan, it sounds like your beta serial number is sticking around somehow. Photoshop QE recommends the following: 1. Uninstall using the uninstaller 2. Re-install and make certain to enter the RETAIL GM serial number.
Let us know how that goes. Hans de Ru — 5:13 AM on May 18, 2007 I have found it impossible to activate CS3 under Windows Vista. Installation goes well, but when I start the program I get an error message (“licensing for this product has stopped working”.
I have a legitimite CS3 but it doesn’t give me the possibility to enter a licence number! I have contacted Adobe Service already 5-6 times on this but to no avail. They keep saying “we’re working on it”. I never had a CS3 beta installed. I had a trial version of Lightroom installed, but I removed that long ago.
I have tried everything, from switching off antivirus to shutdown of the Vista firewall and using the Adobe CS3 clean-up script even with options 3 and 4. De-install and reinstall: No dice. Everything else I install works OK, even a SCSI-scanner. I am totally fed up with the copy protection of Photoshop. It has cost me days of work. I guess I am lucky that Photoshop CS (on the same computer) hasn’t stopped working yet. Any ideas about what to do would be greatly appreciated.
