HOW TO GET ANY CS3 PRODUCT TO WORK

ok so i see a new thread everyday asking about how to get photoshop, premier blah anything

heres the best way to do it

and also how to crack any of the keys or keygens that dont work anymore

adobe issued a patch that did this on sept 1st

so..

first off with adobe dont even bother with torrents

just make an account on the adobe site (google it but its probably just www.adobe.com)

and then you can download trials of all any program!

you wont get caught for this cause for all they know your just trying the program out

or you bought a copy and need to reinstall and lost your disc so you need to download it from them

this way is better then torrents to cause you know nothing is gonna be corrupted

so now you need a keygen

torrent it

google your product cs3 keygen

bleh

it dosent really matter how you get it

there pretty easy to find

so anyway like almost every keygen is using the old keys

which adobe now made not work

so you can set your clock back to before sept 1st theres some way to do it like that

but it got annoying so this is how to make any key you find work with it

so first off just install your product as a trial and then follow these steps.

1) First off, delete C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db

2) Then run any of the CS3 programs. Click Accept to continue, and then when you get to the screen that says enter your serial (or go under tools or somewhere and clik register it dosent always pop up) enter one from a keygen dosent matter if it didnt work before. NOW BEFORE clicking next, you'll notice that you have a NEW cache.db file in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache

3) Right click the file, go to properties and make it READ ONLY, and then click next on CS3 after entering your key.

4) Next, after you get to the register software screen.

Click "Register Later"

5) Now it should be working, technically speaking that is, but you're not done yet.

The register screen should have popped up again. This time, remove the check for "Read Only" from that new cache.db file and select "Do Not Register" from the the top of the register software menu.

6) Now, as soon as you click continue, make the cache.db file read only again, and LEAVE IT THAT WAY to prevent a possible reoccurrence or Adobe trying to send the patch through again disguised as an "update".

Remember that if you need to reinstall the serials of any CS3 product which was working prior to the creation since you have created a new cache.db file you must temporarily uncheck the read only properties box for the cache.db.

Then after inserting the serials and reactivating them close the program and then recheck the box.

hope this helps and puts an end to all these threads that keep popping up.

this way does work i guarantee it.
 
everytime i download a torrent it says "windows needs to know what program created this file"
 
well then read my thread and dont use a torrent

get it straight from adobe

and if it says that when you torrent a keygen

then...i have no clue that shouldnt happen
 
pretty ingenious really. I'm surprised adobe doesn't have something to stop that though since writing to that file will fail and should throw an exception or something.
 
none of the keygens will open?

thats weird...

i can just give you a key if you want it

il be a nice ns member lol

pm me
 
i don't know, message him, but if it'll work after I use it, sure, I'll send it to you. The only thing is I don't know whether 2 people can use the same CD, but yeah
 
i'm confused how to get 2 products to work. i did it for premier cs3, then went back to photoshop and it wanted me to re-do it. so i re-did it for photoshop and went into premier elements and had to re-do that. do you just not delete the file at the start? just uncheck box?
 
yeah before you install another product

uncheck the read only box

go ahead and install and then when you have to put your key in

check it again and follow the steps and it should work
 
man i cant get this to work its whack. ill try again later. i ahev all the folders and stuff but I cant just like activate later or whatever.
 
or you can just ask your friend if you can borrow his external that has the hole cs3 BUSINESS suite on it..muahahahahaha
 
I NEED A SERIAL CODE. if anyone that has a keygen will just send me a code ill send them $1 on paypal!
 
this is only sort of working for me. it comes up with an activation (not registration?) screen, and i click activate later, and nothing else pops up. this is fine, and the program works, but the next time i open the program its back to the start and i have to activate it again. i guess this is ok to do every time i open the program but id much prefer to crack it properly
 
yeah that happened to me with premiere and i dont really know how to fix it.

but the program works fine so i dont have a problem just cliking register later each time.
 
do i stil need to do do the whole delete/read-only cache stuff or can i just put in the serial and click acvtivate later?

karma to you for figuring this shit out anyway..
 
most of the keys wont work unless you do the delete read cache thing. unless there legit...

or newer than sept 2007 or something...which most of the ones you find arent
 
i had the above problems with photoshop and prem pro cs3 until i managed to download a cracked .exe file managed to get 1 for each of the programs and haven't had any problems since. You can also install updates but then you have to copy the cracked exe file back in again and it all works.
 
you have to install your program first so its created

just install as a trial

when you delete that file you will be asked to put in your key again next time you start it.
