Problem Installing CS3 with NEW Activation Number

Question

I have CS3.  I have been issued a brand new activation code.  I have went through all the steps that have been suggested by Adobe Tech Support.  I followed all the instructions given by Keith also.  I uninstalled CS3, verified the removal of all Adobe products, ran the CC Cleaner Tool, Deleted the Cache.db file to no avail.  I have even deleted out the information in my HOST file.  Is it possible that I was sent or assigned the wrong Activation Code for CS3 even though I get the GREEN Check mark?

you're not using the cs3 that doesn't need internet activation. follow the steps here to install cs3, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/activation-fails-cs3-acrobat-8.html and use the new downloaded cs3 and new serial number

Here is the error message I keep getting even after I follow ALL the steps. I'm working on day 6 with a down system. I'm already hosed for this week as far as getting my work done. If ANYBODY knows anything about this error message, please don't be shy in sharing what you have learned. For the life of me I can't get this crazy thing to work!
