InDesign CS3 running on Mac 10.7.5 [CS3 is dead]

Question

I have had to reinstall my OS on my Mac running 10.7.5.I need an activation code for this since I had to reinstall the operating system. I purchased inDesign CS 3 some time ago and need an activation code. Please help.
I do have an Adobe subscription but cannot run the lastest version on this older OS.

Sorry, not possible... the CS3 activation server has been shut down, there is no way to activate CS3

As John said, it's impossible as CS3 and earlier are officially dead now.

You will need a Creative Cloud subscription. Unfortunately, your operating system doesn't meet the min-system requirements. For that, you need Win 10 or macOS Mojave or higher.
