Thanks for the warnings!

I just bought CS3 … and I'm wondering if I did the right thing.

Cheers,
Andrew

So if you have the demo on you have to uninstall it (not just use the serial key and register the already installed program) install it again from the dvd, hope it installs correctly and then register it and do the updates.. grr.
You could try AppZapper - I uninstalled CS2 last night with it and as far as I see it didn't leave any crap behind.

Wink The uninstaller that doesn't uninstall
Oh if anyone is having trouble and needs to uninstall, sometimes Adobe's uninstaller doesn't uninstall completely- if this happens you need to search on their site for "Mac Clean" which is a command line app that someone obviously wrote out of frustration, but it is from the Adobe site and the technical support team told me about it.

Yes it did work for me when I was trying to go from the 30 day demo to the Licence version.

This post may save you some grief one day. No need to thank me
