This has come up recently in other posts as well and appears to be a new policy from Adobe as they had been resetting activation counts through last year. Unfortunately nothing can be done at this point and as we are a user community, we can only say as much as Adobe which is to upgrade or consider alternatives.
To your point about buying shoes and filling them in with concrete, what did you do with the old computers? Did you reach out to the manufacturer to see if they could update or replace non-working parts before you junked them? It sounds like the computer manufacturer did the same thing to you that Adobe is doing by not supporting the old computer forcing you to buy a new one which led you to this issue. Ultimately much like automobiles, parts stop being made by the manufacturer and you can dig through a scrap yard to keep things original as long as you can, but there comes a point when things are not original anymore and you can maintain and restore with newer replacement parts. Much the same way you still have the engine of your car, the AM/FM stereo from Adobe is no longer original and while their newer one may have features you don't need like a CD player or USB port, there may be other alternatives to help you accomplish what you need potentially at a lower price point and provide the basic AM/FM functionality you need.
