I have an Educational Volume License for CS3. I just updated my teaching computer which had to be manually migrated, so I reinstalled CS3. No problem; I have what I thought is the Serial number. But the StartUp page asks for a 6-digit code; mine is 24-digits long. The Adobe Help Chat told me my number is correct, but that they no longer support CS3. I still teach this older version.... any suggestions on how to translate my existing code for the new code they require?
I purchased the whole thing when I was a new teacher 10+ years ago... through Gov Connection. I don't think I registered it. But someone at Adobe should be able to tell me my number, right?
But the StartUp page asks for a 6-digit code; mine is 24-digits long.
Is it definitely asking, in words, for a 6 digit code? Or are you presented with 6 boxes on screen where you enter 4 digits into each box?

If you did not register so your serial number was added to the registration database for your Adobe ID, I doubt that Adobe can help
And, in fact, due to the age of the product, I know that Adobe no longer provides support
I have had various Adobe programs going back to the very old Premiere 6 (not CS6, the version 6 before Premiere Pro) and I have never seen a program with a 6 digit serial number
