Lost dreamweaver disc

Babylonian_2

I moved house this summer and appear to have lost my original disc for macromedia mx 2004.

The software is still installed on my pc and I have access to the serial number. I checked on the adobe website and it says they don't do replacement media if you bought via Ebay (which I did) - brand new item, sealed in box, legit AFAIK.

What can I do ? I have a copy of my current harddrive on an external drive as a back up, but feel really insecure without a disc I can hold in my hand....

You can download the trails that are "Try and Buy" this means that you enter your code and it works. All you have to do is to download the trail software from Adobe/Macromedia site and then install and try it.

Thanks - so really as I have the original code - I should be OK by downloading a trial version and using my original code if I need to in the future?

Yes that is correct.

Out of interset why in adobes site did you see that they dont replace the Cds.

I searched customer service and found this:
http://www.adobe.com/uk/support/service/replacement.html
and this:
http://www.adobe.com/uk/support/service/pop.html
however, this http://www.adobe.com/uk/support/service/orderreplacement.html suggests that you could buy an upgrade to the current version - but you still wouldn't have a disc - maybe that would be an option for me - have to look into it...

Just seen the price of an upgrade ! I don't think I'll be upgrading at the moment!
