So I didn't need the Cleaner Tool this time around.īe sure to read the instructions carefully () before using this app. The serial number means that I didn't have to reinstall CS3 after all to get it to run in Sierra. So does their proffering of new serial numbers, as mentioned above. Why upgrading the OS causes problems for Adobe apps I don't know, but this tool helps resolve those issues. This is a good thing for people who need to use older versions of their Adobe suite apps after upgrading the operating system. But it works as well removing files that hamper running or reinstalling, as the description says, CS3 through CS6. Interestingly, this tool is designed to remove files related to pre-release (beta) versions of Adobe software.

I haven't tested High Sierra yet, so your mileage may vary. To run CS3 now, though, I needed a new serial number I got from Adobe () using my old serial number, which no longer worked after I upgraded from OS X 10.9 Mavericks to El Capitan and then Sierra.įor the time being at least my CS3 apps run on Sierra. That said, version 3 helped resolve the installation issues I was having with reinstalling CS3 last year.

This current version only works on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan or above. That version seems no longer to be available. I used an earlier version of this tool, version 3.10.14 to help with an installation problem with the Adobe CS3 suite.
