Cannot register Flash CS3

[Guest]

Please advise! I just purchased a brand new, unopened disc version of Flash CS3.  I successfully installed it, however, when I attempt to activate this product (Flash CS3) it  does not appear in the list of product options on the activate/deactivate page. How can I activate this software?

you can't legally activate it and you can't legally use it.

I see a lot of older Adobe products advertised for sale on Ebay. I purchased this older version of Flash CS3 on EBAY to replace the non-installable Flash component in my legally obtained Adobe Creative Suite CS4 package. Until I can find a provider of stable internet, I am reluctant to switch to your Creative Cloud products. The Flash CS3 that I purchased on EBAY, was unused...it was still sealed in cellophane...it had never been opened. I was assured by the seller that the software was fully legal.
After attempting to install the software, I merely needed an Authorization Number so that I could continue to use this software after the trial period ended.
I resent the accusations in your email that I acted illegally. 
Several years ago when I purchased Adobe CS4 (...yes, legally!), I was treated similarly by your customer support. You need not worry, sir or madam, henceforth, I will not be using this (Flash CS3) or any other Adobe products.
