Hi skinnychap.
Are you trying to use a pirated activation number?

This usually indicates that you have already had the trial version installed and that it expired. Even if you uninstall the trial software, the anti piracy settings will have been set and will remain in place until you perform a complete re-install.
These settings will more than likely disallow the use of a second trial version.

If this is not the case then you ought to contact the support peeps for the software at issue.

Pops is correct, you will need to contact adobe through email or phone (Look on their website).

Are you saying Adobe CS3 has spyware? To monitor installations without the program being installed, the "anti piracy settings" would have to be spyware. If so, then I will also be calling adobe, and lets just say I wont be asking any questions.
