Not sure why that is. Have the CS3 disc. Old mac pro running snow leopard. It DID WORK last year. Had to reinstall snow leopard due to some glitch and now CS3 won't install. AE CS4 works. Final Cut Studio 6 works. Just not CS3 (also flash encoder CS4 but I'm not using them anyway).

Yes, the softwear is old. So am I. I still work. Just want CS3 to work, too..

Why is it necessary to be online when installing my CS3 disc? Logic dictates all the information for the install is on the disc, not the internet. I can only guess that Adobe wants to see if you are trying to do something they don't want you to do.

I'm confident someone, somewhere has figured out how to install a bought-and-paid-for copy without going through the internet... Or how to delete hidden zeros and ones on the disc to deny entry...
