Macromedia product activation

[philblythe]

I have an old version of Studio MX 2004.  I know "Old School" - but I use it all the time and want it installed on my new PC.

Back to the point, if I put in the Serial Numbers, it will not activate.

The telephone activation number is no longer valid.

How do I get my product activated?

Thanks in advance for your solution.

Follow the instructions, and use the serial number found here: Error, "Unable to Activate" in Macromedia legacy products

Macromedia activation servers were taken down many years ago.  Your serial numbers can no longer be used with your product.  The best I can suggest is downloading a non-activation version and using the serial number provided in the download page.

That said, none of the Macromedia products were designed to run on modern operating systems.  If you're planning to use this very old software on the latest & greatest Windows, you may be out of luck.

Downloading  Brackets would be a better option for you.

Brackets - A modern, open source code editor that understands web design.

UPDATED 11/25/2022:

Macromedia and Creative Suite 1 - 4 product activation is no longer possible.  You must replace with modern software that's compatible with your equipment & OS.
