yeah - I've got CS3 on the pc, ta It's just I could do with having photoshop on the Mac, too - because the colours on my PC are truly awful, lol!

im downloading the trial of CS3 for Mac now..... but i'd ideally need it for more than 30 days!!

If you want to get your CS3 working for longer than that trail period, there is a trick that works very nicely.

The 30 days is calculated from your systems date and time on the day you install, so before you install it, change your date to (something in the future, for example) 01.01.2015, and proceed to install. Once the installation has finished put your date back to the usual! Now the program will time out on the 31.01.2015, 30 days after your installation "date"

WINNER!

Nice tip .... How do you change the system date... or is that just the normal time and date in the bottom right?

Haha!

Yeah probably! Again dont see why not!

Ive only ever done it with the Creative Suits (for uni related stuff - couldn't do the work without the progs!) its always worked for everyone thats tried it, as far as i know. But couldn't say for defo about other stuff.

it didnt work

i changed the date, then changed it back afterwards and it says its expired

[Mini C]

This works for a while I think.
1) Complete the installation as usual
2) Go to \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\AMT
3) Rename the file called application.sif to something else, like application.six
4) Have fun

Or try this http://www.nirsoft.n...un_as_date.html

I've Not tried either.

The date thing didnt work?? Wow, first time ever...

Where did you get your CS from, is it the trail version...? Does it have all the correct installers etc? Have you tried to put it on your mac before and it has expired? and did you wipe it off completly before retrying?

Sorry for all the questions!!
