Activating Flash Professional CS3

I have a business need to reactivate Flash CS3 on a few machines.  As far as I can tell from adobe, the authentication servers haven't been shut down.  But when I try and activate; I get an 'Activation - No Connection' error.  I would assume my internet connection is working fine; as I'm able to post to this forum.  I'm not behind a proxy, and the phone activation option has been deactivated.

Adobe support over the phone would not confirm one way or the other if the servers are still up.  Can anyone provide some insight on this?
