Thanks Ned but I still have the problem. This is what happened - My iMac needed a new Hard Drive so had this replaced by licensed Apple repairer. All software was lost and was told to reinstall CS3 which I did successfully. I have the original CD's. Serial number was accepted. When I opened up Illustrator, Photoshop or indesign I get a message saying I am trying to upgrade (which I am not) and that I need to choose the version premium 1 or 2 or standard 1 or 2. I chose standard 1 which is what I have. I am then asked to put serial number in again then hit enter button. It comes up with an "x" saying I cannot access or upgrade. I then can't go forward or do anything except click back button or quit which closes the application. It then says I am on a trial period and it's counting down. My serial number is visible and has a tick next to it and it keeps asking me to upgrade. Really frustrating. Do I need to deactivate CS from this computer then reinstall maybe?? Not sure how to do this.
