SOLVED Photoshop CS3 on HD that quit- How to authorize on another HD?

[Dave Hughes]

My Hard Drive that had Photoshop CS3 on it Quit. I had copied it to another drive before it quit. How do I get it going on that drive? It is running OS 10.6.8, the latest CS3 will run on. My Mac is a 2009 Desktop.

Hello,

Did you just copy the Photoshop application itself? If so, it may not have the rest of the supporting files that are installed, so it may not launch. If it is asking for a serial number, you may have to speak with Adobe to have them reset the activation.

Thanks Cory. I ran my original disk and that fixed it. It didn't ask for my serial or anything.

OK, thanks.

So reinstalling corrected the issue and you are all set?
