CS4 Licence on a new device

Hi Community,

i am facing trouble when activating CS4 on a new win-PC.

I have deactivated the licence on the previous win-PC and tried to activate on the new PC. The licence number seems not working.
Finally the support told me that the licence Server for CS4 is shut down. It seems that there is actually no way to acitivate CS4 on a new device. Is that right or is there somebody who can help?

Thanks in advance, Falk.

Okay, thank you for the fast answer. (so, this is also a way to make money)
Maybe i should mention that we are a company and with new Users we need to change licences between the PC´s We had the trouble already with CS3. With CS3, Adobe supported us by sending us new keys so that we were able to activate CS3 on a new machine. Has anybody experienced this behaviour from Adobe?

I know there were specific serial numbers in the past to get CS programs to work without a activation. These serial numbers aren't available anymore. You have to contact the Adobe support directly, because this is a public forum, not the link to Adobe support.

Sorry, but we're normal users and we can't help with such problems.

This is right. The license servers of CS4 (and all former versions) are shut down.

There's no chnage to avctivate CS4 on a new device.

Adobe have recently started saying this. We all know CS/CS2/CS3 servers were shut down. The CS4 servers are, Adobe claim, shut down now. But you say "license number seems not to be working". What is the message you get?
