  1. Links don’t worked.

    I am logged in, but I get a 404 error message when I click the link. Is there a way to get to this site via Adobe, so the session created after I logged on will follow.

    Once a person has logged in, why would you need to know anyone’s system for a link to work? Need the color of my dog’s favorite hat as well?

  2. Passing the session identifier from Adobe to Prodesign will probably allow Prodesign to obtain user information including account information, email, etc.

    • Not sure what you’re talking about Jackson, but there is zero truth to it. We collect nothing with these links, we know nothing of those who benefit from them, and you should consult our Privacy Policy if you have any questions.

      You seem to show little gratitude for someone who is being helped out here. But happy holidays.

  3. Thanks for this article and the great links you provided. Your instructions were very clear and accurate. I have cs4 and cs5 but really need cs3 for this project. thanks for the trial links.

  4. Thanks for the article and the links! But I have a little problem in here and need some help!

    After I downloaded After Effects CS3 and clicked to open it but it asked which software would I like to use to open it. I have no clue what do I need to use to open it. Please help! :(

    Thanks!!

  5. I had deinstalled and then reinstalled all the CS 3 apps as I was getting a note stating that the licensing for the product has ended from Photoshop. After downloading the apps and reinstalling all apps I received a note that Photoshop and InDesign failed to install and I still get the same licensing note when I attempt to open Illustrator.

    • Actually, we just double-checked and the Cleaner Tool (and that download link) works for both operating system platforms – Windows and Mac. So, feel free to give it a shot.

  6. I am trying to download the Adobe CS3 Design Standard but am getting the following error:

    HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
    RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp

    Is there anyway you can provide me a working link for the Design Standard?

    Thank you.

  7. Hello,

    I have downloaded the CS3 Design Standard, I opened the Illustrator program 30-day trial but then this automatically sets the rest of the programs Photoshop, InDesign etc. on the 30-day trial?

    Meaning now that I opened one program, the rest will have today 29 days left?

    This is a stupid question but I don’t know how to check.

    thank you

  8. Hello, I’ve downloaded these before so I know for a fact that they work however for some reason I keep having a problem opening the 7z file. It keeps asking me how do I want to open this file and I am sure I have followed the directions to the letter. Signing in from adobe, downloading there trial then coming back to download these files. I would appreciate any help in this please and thank you.

    Yes, but it came on a separate disc, which I do not have anymore. I have the product key #, but just not the disc. In the long run I am very happy that I can run CS3 again. I am so glad I found you guys 10 GOLD STARS for you guys.

    Thanks again,
    Eric

    • That’s great, and thank you for your kind words. Presumably if OnLocation is available via download then it would be bundled into the links for one of those product trials mentioned, above. Good luck with it!

  11. When I go to download files, I get the message:

    The file archive part of Adobe CS4 Web Premium is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe CS4 Web Premium. Please download all parts.

    Any direction you can give? Thanks.

  12. I’m having the same problem as Tray, followed the instructions you gave him and still not working for me. Any other tips? Not really sure what could be going wrong…

  13. hi there, thank you for the free trial download links! i’m having an issue — i downloaded cs4 design standard for my mac & have the .dmg file, however when i open it i’m getting an error that ‘the following disk images couldn’t be opened’ with the reason ‘not recognized’.

  14. I am trying to reinstall PS after my hard drive died – I have the serials for my CS4 which was a download only from Adobe and CS5 which is on disk – I need to install CS4 to install my CS5 upgrade.

    When trying to install CS4 manually it initializes goes through the CHECKING SYSTEM PROFILE, but before that completes it comes back with an error message “An Error Occurred During Setup And Cannot Continue – Contact Adobe Support For Further Information.”

    Any suggestions? Thanks

    • Greetings Joe, we haven’t ever heard of that message before – but no worries, let’s try to save you some time… You don’t actually need to have the previous version on your system when you install an Adobe upgrade version. All you need is your valid license key. Then the upgrade version will ask you to manually enter that prior serial number if it can’t find the older version anywhere on the machine you’re putting it on.

      Hope that helps move things along for you!

  15. Thanks, I really appreciate the help. FYI I was able to resolve the issue, and here’s how: I had originally used Chrome to download and had issues. I re-downloaded using Safari and had no issues with the install. Thanks again!

    • Hey, that’s great to hear Kate – yes, often just retrying or redownloading using a different browser will resolve any issues people have here. Thanks for the follow-up with your happy ending!

  16. Hi dear Experts,

    I URGENTLY need your HELP!

    After a system crash I installed my whole Windows 7 x64 Ultimate completely from scratch, including wiping the C: drive clean. After the system has been completely installed including SP1 for Windows and all necessary drivers, tools and updates I have a new clean working Windows 7.

    BUT, I can not install CS4 Design Premium (Western Version), even though I have the original CD’s. It shows after checking the system profile and letting me enter the license code and choose the software component to be installed, suddenly a window pops up saying (Note: translation from German error message)

    Script error in
    line: 1879
    character: 2
    Error text: for the id there was no value, the object is zero or undefined;
    code: 0
    URL: fiel:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Common%20Files/Adobe/Installers/55230b0b70661df0f212e88f0b655f7/resources/common/script/utils.js
    Do I want to continue run this script? (yes/no)

    Either way the system starts with the next screen, but stops working at all. Nothing happens.

    So I downloaded your files above and tried the same with your download. After unpacking to a temp file and starting “SETUP.EXE” the system does a system profile check for about 75% and then stops …simply does not do anything anymore.

    For both ways I can see from my System Explorer that the processes do not do anything anymore….for ages.

    Note: any other Software including Adobe software, like: Lightroom 3, PS Elements 9, Acrobat Reader …. etc do not have any problems with installation.

    Does anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?

    I appreciate any help and thank you in advance for looking into this.

    Best regards
    Le Tifou

    Thank you – I thought CS4 had to be on the drive before I could re-install the upgrade. I now have my CS5.5 back – now on to re-installing my other software.

    Thanks again for the help and making this material available (I had called Adobe and support told me since I could not locate my physical CS4 disk for re-installing, my only option would be to purchase CS6!!)
