Restarted my computer

Then I logged into this link and got my new serial number https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/activation-fails-cs3-acrobat-8.html

Activation or connection error when starting CS3 or Acrobat 8

I then used the link from the above page to download a new version of Dreamweaver CS3

This time it asked for the new serial number and it was accepted.

I then choose "never register" when promted

And I was able to use my program again.
