Amazon sold pirated software to me., January 16, 2009
By Tekart (Indiana)
This $1500+ software arrived and I tried to register it several times. Each time I got to the serial number part, I was informed by the computer that it was an invalid serial number. I checked on Adobe's site (they have a place to check the validity of serial numbers) and was told the same thing. I called Adobe and asked them for what reason would a serial number be invalid, they told me it would be because it was pirated.

I called Amazon and the CSR told me that I could return it for a refund because they did not have any more copies to replace it with. They did refund my purchase price, the insurance and shipping costs to return it - but not the time I billed them for to get this issue resolved! The refund was in the form of a credit to my newly obtained Amazon Store credit card. So now this credit card has a credit balance of about $25.00 that I really hate to use on an Amazon purchase. I have requested my money back, but so far I have heard nothing back and it has been over a week since I made that request.

This was bought from Amazon, not from a reseller - I was concerned that I might get pirated software from a reseller before getting it from Amazon. I would have bought from Adobe where I could have downloaded it immediately, but they do not sell older versions of their software once the newest version is on the market. Problem is my computer CPU is not fast enough to meet the minimum guidelines for CS4.

So I guess I will stick with my old miscellaneous software for web design right now. I am a professional freelance graphic designer and I can't afford to be using pirated software.



Upgraded from version 7 to CS3, September 25, 2008
By gringote (Mid-Missouri)
This is pretty nice - everything is basically the same as before for the things I use it for (Photoshop). I like how Illustrator can convert raster images to vector images. I like being able to zoom in using DreamWeaver and its better support for newer html coding using divs and styles etc. I wouldn't use anything but Photoshop/Dreamweaver to make websites, so I give this a high score.



Adobe CS3 Nightmare: CS3 Will Not Install on All Machines, September 14, 2008
By Joanna Bell (Historic Portsmouth VA)
All I can say is this program will require I reformat my hard drive in order to install it on my computer of choice. Adobe CS3 is very unreliable and finicky. I was able to install it on my old computer running XP but not my new one, which also runs XP. So, the failure to run does not reflect my ability to install it or my computer's operating system. There seems to be conflicts with other Adobe products. I would recommend purchasing the $9.00 trial version DVD from Adobe to see if it will work on your machine. If not, you have lost only $9.00. Adobe should have done a much better job to insure installability. If you're stuck with it, try googling "Adobe CS3 install problems." There are some convoluted workarounds suggested there. Since I had another computer, I opted to go that route.



Stable, Powerfull, Essential & Expensive, July 16, 2008
By Tiago Pedroso (Portugal)
I've been using Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash & Dreamweaver for over 5 years now.

These applications have always excelled at what they do, and this package is no exception. It's also stable, and after 4 weeks I've had no crashing issues (be sure your computer meets or even tops the minimum system requirements).

The major "upgrade" I was expecting in this CS3 package was cross-application compatibility. To an extent that has been accomplished (the "relationship" between Dreamweaver & Photoshop is now very user-friendly and time-saving for example). But I was still expecting a little more integration between the others and would be unsure to upgrade from CS2 had it not been for Action script 3 and the range of applications (like many have said, it's a HUGE INVESTMENT for any freelancer \ small company).

I still miss ImageReady, though, and Adobe Bridge is something I'd rather live without.

That said, this is an essential product for anyone designing & developing websites or other creative content for the web (or print).



Overall great, with some problems. , July 2, 2008
By Sara Duckett (Tustin, CA United States)
I am enjoying using this product overall... but I am having some major issues with using Adobe Acrobat 8. It keeps telling me to re-install the program to be able to use the features (like importing a word document to create a new form). I downloaded updates, etc.. and nothing seems to work. (I use Windows XP). It's extremely frustrating since Acrobat was one of the reasons I chose to buy the "Creative Suite" rather than just the individual programs I needed.
