I've just spent 45 completely fruitless minutes on a "help" chat, and gone round in a loop of "your serial number is invalid", "talk to the reseller you purchased from", "your serial number is invalid". There is no option in the installed copy on my desktop to deactivate, and the previous laptop is dead.

When I try internet activation, I get told that the software has reached it's activation limit. I'm building a new laptop now, and have installed the bits of the suite that I need - but I can't activate them.

It is installed and activated on my main PC, and has also been installed and used on a now-deceased laptop. I have a retail copy of CS3 master collection, bought some 4 or 5 years ago. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
