Flash Pro CS3 activation error

[Guest]

This may not be the age for activating a Creative Suite 3 program but I need to activate it.

My serial key is valid but it seems as if the servers were taken down years ago, so how do I activate this copy?

the servers are still working for cs3.  they're shuttered for cs2.

what problem/error do you see?

Oh well that's good to know, here's my issue: "Your device is not connected to the internet." and it asks me to use another activate option such as Phone Activation.

that's not an adobe server issue.

confirm that you can connect to the secure adobe servers.

for help with that and other common secure adobe.com connection problems read, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
