Activation Limits

My computer recently burned up in a house fire and I had to buy a new one. I went to install my Adobe Acrobat 10 and Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium on the new system and got the activation limit error. This did not surprise me as I had used the activation on the burned up PC and a laptop. I would like to install the programs on my new computer, but for obvious reason, I cannot deactivate the one from the burned up PC. How can this get remedied?

    you cannot.  there’s just no work-around to needing a computer with a current activation to restore an activation slot.
