Fireworks CS3 [CS3 IS DEAD]

Question

I bought Fireworks CS3 many moons ago. I remember at one point being advised to download CS6 for free as CS3 was getting defunked. CS6 worked really well. Then my laptop expired, I did try to get FW up and running again on my then 'new' laptop, but failed...... now I've another laptop and I'm determined to get FW back again, nothing compares to Fireworks.
 
Please could someone advise the easiest way to get FW back? I've been on chat support and they've confirmed the serial number I have for FW CS3 is good to go.
 
Thanks for any help.... &#128578;

Unfortunately, what support failed to inform you of is that the CS3 activation servers were shut down a number

of years ago, so there is no way to activate your copy of Fireworks CS3.

under

CS2, CS3, CS4, or Acrobat 7, 8, 9, ACROBAT X, ACROBAT XI, AND 3D

I guess talk to Adobe support and see what they say after you tell them the CS3 activation servers have been shut down.

Just to add, I can't activate my copy of CS3. I keep getting this loop, nothing appears to work.
