I have 20 seat license for Font Folio v9 (registered in my Adobe ID)

but https://account.adobe.com/products does not show a download link, unlike with other perpetual licenses I own.

I spoke with a chat agent, and they did not have a download link for v9. 
Anyone can help me with it?

I understand CS2/3/4 activation servers are now deprecated.
Would I need to validate my v9 serial some way before I can use this on a brand new computer?

Not gonna happen, and anyway, why would you want to now? Font Folio 9 is horribly outdated, especially since it's a collection of  Type 1 fonts that will be deprecated soon (with a small handful of the then-new OTF fonts). It was only ever issued as the CD-ROM back in the day, long before any app was able to be downloaded, and was superceeded by Font Folio OpenType edition, geez, almost 20 years ago, so I doubt Adobe has any interest in offering downloads of obsolete fonts now.

In any case, the folio was simply a CD-ROM. There was no magic installation that unlocked/onstalled them. If you have your CD, then you should be good to copy them to new seats. If you had lost your CD, Adobe would send a replacement one on request, subject to a valid license.

Now, I get that most people have the issue where they have new laptops/desktops that no longer have CD drives, or in the case of Macs, ANY older CDs written in the Mac HFS (Standard) file system (like the Folio) are no longer readable in anything Catalina or newer as Apple has dropped system support for anything less than Mac HFS+. So, even if you have your original Folio CD, you would have to find an older computer to copy the font files over.
