Unable to activate Adobe CS3 Web Standard

Hi, I have a very old (about 15 or so years) Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Standard which I love and cherish. I am now unable to activate it when installing it on my relatively new Surface Book. Does anyone know a way of doing this? Yes I am old-fashioned but I like the software and know how to use it. Thanks for any help.

    Hi, thanks for your quick response. It's a shame about CS3, I really liked it and it did what I needed it to do but I guess I'll just have to accept and move into the modern world. Thanks again.

    Adobe turned off the CS3 activation servers about three years ago. Initially they offered a link to a page on which CS3 users could request a manual activation, but that page is long dead. Adobe no longer supports CS3, and unfortunately that means your software can no longer be installed, even though you have a legally obtained and purchased license.
