Ok, so I have the free trial for Flash 8. It's about to run out, so I click the link to buy the code. But when I get there, the site is dead. I go to activation help, and that site is dead too. I go to the producer's site, dead. But I google Flash 8, and I get to a page on macromedia.com about flash PLAYER 8. I click on a link, from that page, to go to another page on the site, and it's dead. With my trial about to run out, and no apparent way to get the full product, I can't ever use Flash again.

So what the hell do I do?

Buy CS4 then, because I don't think you can buy flash 8 anymore.

No, you can still buy Flash 8.

The thing is, it may be linking to the Macromedia site, and Macromedia was bought by Adobe about a year ago, so the Macromedia site may be dead.


Google 'Flash 8' and find the Adobe link.

The Adobe site is dead too.

It may be a factor that I live in England.

So what can I do?

I think I could uninstall Flash, wipe it from the registry, and re-install, like an infinite free trial, but I'm not sure.

Adobe site is up and working fine, also you have to **** around with the trial ALOT to be allowed to reinstal it, or atleast I did for the PC version. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/flash/?promoid=BPCVQ CS4 buy it or pirate it, thats your options.

The site Scorpio said doesn't work for me. Nor do any of the Adobe pages.
