In Design CS3 with Mac Mohave

[lindal36756883]

I am having problems with CS3 now that I upgraded to Mohave. I downloaded the java as instructed, the app opens but the windows don't populate. Please help.

Even the much newer CS6 has problems with Mojave

Owners of old programs simply have problems with Mojave... none of which is Adobe's fault... Adobe did not change your old program to make it stop working... Apple changed their operating system and THAT is why your old programs won't work, not because of anything Adobe did... Also... every time Apple issues an update, there is the risk that an old program that HAS been working will STOP working... bottom line, old programs require a matching old operating system

I suppose the only thing I can do then is downgrade back to the previous on my mac.  I understand that you ahve to subscribe now for CS3 InDesign. You can't just buy it out right any more?

Adobe no longer sells a serial number version of InDesign

Thank you John for your information.  I guess I'll be looking for another program to write books from.

Or, get an old used Mac. If you want to run antique software it’s the smart choice. Cheap too. Someone may have one in an attic they want rid of. Bear in mind NO OLD SOFTWARE will run on Mac OS 10.15, that’s official Apple policy.
