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).
