I had to restore my MacBook Pro from a Time Machine backup. Now when I start Adobe Illustrator CS3 or Photoshop CS3, a screen opens saying I have one day to activate the software. When I click "Activate", the message says that the activation server can't be accessed. When I try "Activate by phone", the recording tells me that phone activation is no longer supported and to go to www.adobe.com/go/activate. I did that, but the help messages there do not give instruction for CS3 products, only CS2. What can I do to re-activate Creative Suite 3? The laptop has Mac OS X 10.9.5 and was built in 2012.
