Hello,
I have a quick question for you all.
I have had CS3 for many years, but my computer crashed out.
So, I got a new computer and I am trying to install it.
However, the system is asking me for an activation number.
Do you know how can I get it?
Thanks a lot for your help
Try this:
Resolve "temporary activation expired" error for CS3 and Acrobat 8
If that doesn't work then try this:

Adobe recently closed the activation servers for CS3 products. See here for the info you need to get up and running again: Activation or connection error when starting CS3 or Acrobat 8
Hope this helps!
P.S. I added ”activation trouble” to your title in order to help others more easily find a solution. Thanks!

Thanks a lot, it seems that is working, but now the system asks for an authorization code.
Do you know how can I get it?

Did you not receive a new serial number or code to use? Perhaps via email? Unfortunately, I have not been through the process myself, so my knowledge of the process is somewhat lacking

Yes, I did get the new serial number, but system does ask for it during the installation.
I removed CS3 several times, but still does not asked for the the new number, asks for authorization code instead.
