I downloaded a recent free trial and it causes my CS3 to show a 'licensing error'
I tried the 'creative cloud clean up' tool. I tried 'the licensing reactivation tool'. I tried to uninstall and reinstall my program but it shows a 'component install fail' error upon installation attempts. I contacted Adobe support and my account is in good standing and I have not exceeded the permitted downloads. Please help!

How do I prevent Creative Cloud from taking over my CS6 perpetual license?

I managed to get rid of most of creative cloud files (only creative cloud libraries remain) I used these links:
Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems
However, my CS3 would still not install and furthermore it is now stuck on an install and I keep getting the message that I have to finish installing before I can do a fresh install. I already did a hard uninstall and checked my task manager for any open programs and cleared the last 4 hours of cache and cookies. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since I can no longer use my purchased disk I am wondering if there is a way to download online using my serial number?

Got the files just fine from link above but the other issues persist. First that I am already installing and to close the program. Well the task manager shows I am not installing the program already. Even when that gets fixed I will have the secondary problem of the 'component install fail'. Looks like the creative cloud still has my computer held hostage. Any ideas on what file this may be?
