GoLive CS2 activation issue

I recently changed my PC and loaded up GoLive from my CS2 suite, but when I tried to activate it I got nowhere.  Searching around the net I found an Adobe page stating that activation was no longer possible for CS2 software and offering new downloadables with serials that dont need activation.  I downloaded it but when I tried to use the CS2 serial provided, it tells me it is not a legitimate serial number - I checked I had typed it in correctly, including the dashes, but it still doesn't work.

So, the softeware I paid for can't be activated anymore and the fix offered doesn't work.  What the hell am I supposed to do now??? (and why are Adobe treating their customers so badly?)

You need to use the serial number that is beside the product you downloaded.

Also, copy and paste the serial number; don't type it.

Also, the Adobe Activation Servers for the CS/CS2 Suite products have been shut down. There are several threads on most of the affected products' forums, but I do not know about GoLive. As John T. suggests, I would head to the GoLive Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/golive and check if there is a workaround, provided by Adobe.

Good luck,
