How to install Macromedia Studio MX 2004

I have an old software that I tried to install on a new computer, but it won't accept the serial #.  I used it as a trial for 30 days and now it's wanting me to pay for it.  Does anyone know how I can get this enabled without buying the new version?   I don't want to have to pay for it again as I the old software will suffice.  Thanks!

    ==========

    For good reason. It's an obsolete code editor from early 2000s. It's useless on the modern web.

     

    Get a modern code editor (paid or free).

    -- Adobe Dreamweaver CC - https://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver.html
    -- Codespaces (free, browser-based) - https://github.com/features/codespaces
    -- Notepad++ (free) - https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
    -- Nova (Mac only, formerly called Coda) - https://nova.app/
    -- Pinegrow - https://pinegrow.com/
    -- Sublime Text - http://www.sublimetext.com/
