The file downloaded no problem, But I am still getting the same error ! I called support & had an online chat with them too... They do not seem to know what the problem is or even help...The said call the helpline which I did and was left waiting for almost an hour.... I can not belive that I spet almost £1000 on this software a few years back and I can not even get suppport to help me reinstal it .
Does anyone have any further clues how I can get this installed?

I have uninstalled and run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool over five times now. I still get the same problems as the 1st Screen grab...I also get this when I try and launch Dreamweaver (I tried to open it as it says it is installed)
Thanks for any help

Thanks......I tried that too.....but still get the same arror when reinstalling! Why is it so complicated? Whould Adobe not give me a free (or cheap) upgrade to CS5 or 6 to try and bypass this problem? They do not seem to want to help ..even though I paid a fortune for the software! I know its old now but at the time it cost me neaqrly £2000 ( with a course) I feel robbed ! Thanks to you all for your suggestions

1st I tried uninstalling and running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool ... Then downloaded the trial as advised on message 2. I got the exact same error when doing this. I uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times ( using the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool after each uninstall) . I then ran the LicenseRecovery.exe ( Solution 1 ) and Set the FLEXnet Licensing Service to Manual and start the service ( Solution 2) and also Renamed the FLEXnet folder (Solution 3) ....I then wondered if I was meant to do this when the part installed CS3 was installed of uninstalled so and it takes ages to install & uninstall I did not try any more solutions. I would think that it should be much easier to install than this....All I really need ( as I need an urgent webpage update) is just Dreamweaver installed. But I can not even seem to get that working...It opens then comes up with the License error (even though I can not even enter the licence code as I have not got that far yet!) and it just shuts down..... Any advice appreciated Thanks

i detect your frustration but i don't think you have much choice but to proceed with the other suggestions or give up.

Hi Kglad, I have now completed every process show....and now when I run setup just the 1st launcher opens...then nothing! I have tried rebooting and running as admin of the cd...also the trial version I downloaded ( from the link on this thread) will not get past this either..... I am running out of things to do.

Hi All,
Just an update. I tried contacting customer service but was told as my product was so old I would get no support. I decided to take drastic action...I reinstalled Windows Vista...and then installed CS3 before I intsalled the service pack 2 update...and it worked!
Thanks for all your help
Hopefully it will still work after the service pack 2 update...which I am now installing!

drastic action is an understatement.
after all this, you deserve years of productive use of cs3. and, i hope that update worked without problem.
