How to reactivate Macromedia Dreamweaver MX2004?

Need help reactivating our copies of Macromedia Dreamweaver MX2004. Problem is we do not receive an activation error message when trying to run the software. Simply does not boot up. Have tried reinstalling software from original installation disc with same result (or lack thereof!). Message comes up saying the software has been successfully installed, but no activation error message and will not boot up when we try to open it. Tried chatting with Adobe Online Help on two occasions, but all they could do is provide us with the new serial number for the product . When I’ve asked where to enter the serial number (since we do not receive the activation error message) they could provide no assistance other than the new serial number. Seems there must be a link to the activation error message which we could be provided, so that we could enter the new serial number and reactivate Dreamweaver? Hope someone can help!

Hi Preran,
I've been to that page on the Adobe site at least two dozen times trying to solve our problem. If you can't get to the activation error message it's not helpful. All we're trying to do is occasionally edit content at two websites, all of which was written and created in Dreamweaver ages ago, and which we only update once or twice a year.
As per your suggestions, checked the Adobe site for CS2 and information there indicates CS2 has also been deactivated and no longer supported. Creative Cloud lists a monthly fee of $49.95 which is way beyond our budget for occasional edits.
If there is an activation error message for Macromedia Dreamweaver MX2004 don't understand why Adobe can't provide a link.
Anyone else have a solution?
Thank you,
John

Help Needed to Reactivate Dreamweaver MX2004 on new computer

I have been trying to reactivate My Dreamweaver MX2004 on my new Windows 7 computer that I had on my previous computer.
[serial numbers removed by moderator]
I have even tried calling to reactivate but get only a busy signal using the regular line. I cannot get through on the toll free so I have spent time and money calling the regular number to no avail.
My website in on the web, using Go Daddy as my host, but I cannot get to it to change anything because I can not activate my Dreamweaver on my new computer. What do I do?
Frustrated Bev

MX is a decade or more old now. And it might not run very well on modern operating systems since it wasn't designed for them. If you're up against a deadline, you could join the Cloud for a free 30-day trial & get DW CS6 or CC on your desktop.

You cannot. DW 8 is not in the upograde path for CS6. Your only options are to purchase or subscribe to CS6 at the full rate.

Adobe vs Macromedia Dreamweaver?

First off, I've been having some very frustrating issues with Adobe's version of Dreamweaver. I recently just started using Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, after using Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 for years. When it comes to coding, I have to say Adobe DW has the upper hand, but when it comes to using the design interface Macromedia definitely beats out Adobe DW, and I'm very disappointed Adobe DW has lost its intuitive touch in that area.
Several years ago when I was in Junior High I was using Macromedia DW to build a complex, completely customized site (from scratch), using images I made in Photoshop--and I did it all in the design interface, without needing to touch any of the coding aspects of the program. Now, having just graduated from college, I decided to upgrade try out Adobe DW, but I have had nothing but problems with the design interface. It's clumsy, difficult to use, and far less intuitive than the Macromedia version. When a Junior High student can make an entire website in the design interface, but a college graduate can't, I begin to worry. My question is: when Adobe integrated Macromedia products into its company, did it choose to ditch the design-friendly interface of DW and concentrate on coding instead, or is there something I'm missing?
Now, before anyone mentions that Dreamweaver is first and foremost a coding program (which I believe myself,) I don't understand how or why the design interface has suffered to much from one developer to the other.
Here's my plight:
I am generally a big fan of Adobe. Being an artist, I spend many hours a week using Photoshop as my primary digital art program. However, I am not a web developer, and I do not plan to be one. I know limited HTML, and I cannot afford to invest time or money in learning code-based languages when all I want to do is make a single personal website for my job portfolio and résumé. But, as an artist I want to be able to do this from scratch, using images I have designed myself. I would like to utilize the design aspect of DW, but Adobe has made this ridiculously difficult, to the point where I haven't even been able to make an index page after many days of frustration.
Any advice or tips on how to jump some of the design hurdles in Adobe DW, or links to tutorials on the design interface would be very helpful and much appreciated. Or, any suggestions for alternate design-friendly products would be great, too. Remember, I still want to ability to create a page from scratch (none of that pre-set layout stuff) in a design interface. If a program exists like this, I have yet to find it, and I would be very grateful to hear about one.
Do not hesitate to ask me any more questions if it can help you with your answer. Thank you very much!

DW is only as good as the skills you bring to the table. What you learned in Junior High School has all changed.
Modern web standards assert that style (CSS) be separate from content (HTML). As such, DW changed its UI to support this. You can style your HTML in code view if you prefer, but a site wide CSS page is infinitely better and more efficient.

OracleAS Portal Extension for Macromedia Dreamweaver

Were you ever wondering, how you can integrate Portal pages seamlessly into your Web site ? You can now using our extension for Macromedia Dreamweaver. Simply create or edit OracleAS Portal UI Templates directly from within Dreamweaver. These UI Templates can be used as "skins" for your Portal page. The extension also provides support for the UI Template substitution tags from Dreamweaver's Insert Panel.
For more information, go to http://portalcenter.oracle.com and click on Integration Solutions.

Hi,
I am testing the integration and encountering some problems :
my portalTemplate.ear was deployed to a standalone OC4J instance (904).
The portalTemplate.xml contains valid information ( tested with sqlplus ).
The Dreamweaver extension was correctly installed.
When I try to login to Portal, i get a "There was an error connecting to Portal. Please check the db connection in portalTemplate.xml" .
I thought about many potential causes like starting my OC4J instance with -Dhttp.proxyHost and -Dhttp.proxyPort or to provide LDAP users credentials instead of db credentials when login in ... what's wrong ?
PS : When navigating to http://localhost:8888/portalTemplate/portalTemplate?operation=getName I cannot invoke the operation successfully; I get the same error "Error in making the database connection".

Are there critical or security updates for Macromedia Dreamweaver since Adobe took over?

Are there critical or security updates for Macromedia Dreamweaver Flash and Macromedia suite since Adobe took over? I can still use it but I am worried about security issues.

I have a new computer with Windows 7 and I thought of installing my old Macromedia Dreamweaver and using it to update my web site. However I don't know if I can still use it with Windows 7 and with no critical updates I am wondering what would happen.
Or if I reformat my old Windows XP computer and reinstall Macromedia Dreamweaver, would it be okay, or safe, security wise? Thanks.
What sort of security are you worried about? DW creates plain text files and they are as safe as any other text files you create with Notepad or Wordpad.
How old is your DW? I personally thing#k that it is time for you to get a new version so that you can create websites based on modern standards that are compatible with modern browsers.
Amazon should be able to sell you the product at a very competitive price.
Good luck.

Macromedia Dreamweaver Time Error ?

On SAVE, I get the error message that Dreamweaver cannot
determine time on my website. How do I fix this problem. We have it
set where it will publish on SAVE.
Thank you,

Which version of MX, please? And what OS?
If you are on windows, find Dreamweaver.exe in the Program
Files/Macromedia/Dreamweaver MX folder, right click on it,
select the
Version tab, and tell me what version you see there.

ANY ONE HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!11

You start by defining your site in DW (Site > New Site).
In that process you
can input your Remote Info. That gives DW everything it needs
to connect to
your web host. Then you just put your site. If unclear open
DW Help and
search:
define site, remote info, put site, ftp

Macromedia Dreamweaver/Adobe Dreamweaver

I am a video producer/graphic designer who is trying to
expand to web design. I have been teaching myself Macromedia
Dreamweaver 8 for a little while now and it isn't "Clicking" all
that well. My main question is, is the current Adobe Dreamweaver
CS3 basically the same software as the Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. I
love all adobe programs, I am adept at Photoshop, Aftereffects, and
Encore DVD, I would really benefit from a good comprehensive
program that is similar to these programs for Web design. Is adobe
dreamweaver for me?
Thanks for any advise.

> is the current Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 basically the same

It is to DW8 as DW8 was to DWMX2004, i.e., it's the next
release.
> Is adobe dreamweaver for me?
Only if you are willing to put it in a drawer until you have
learned enough
HTML and CSS to be able to look at a page's code and feel
comfortable with
how the page is doing what you see in the browser.

I have been using Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004 demo software for 1 months,

i have been using Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004 demosoftware for 1 months,but now his expire date is over,i have to use this continous,
how? can we extend days?

You can't. Trial software is intended to give you the opportunity to evaluat the software to decide whether it suits your needs. If it does, you have to buy a licence to continue using it. Dreamweaver MX 2004 is no longer on sale, so you would need to buy a licence for Dreamweaver CS4.

Activating Macromedia Dreamweaver 6.1

Hi
I need to reinstall Macromedia Dreamweaver 6.1 for one of our user on his new computer
Unfortunately, i did not have the installation file ...or its somewhere hard to be found...
Our serial number is store in our database so it's no problem for that
I've called Adobe support wich told me they no longer supported this and couldn't give me the installation file
I've easely located dwmx61_trial_en.exe on some website wich i've downloaded...
Testing it on my computer before, i can't find any places so i can activate my trial to be the full version...
It says trial 30 days of course....but no button to do something about it...
Anyone can tell me how to do this?
Thank you

The only 2 menu that would look like what we are talking about are:
Online registration
Print registration
Altough they won't work, nothing happens when i click on them, ....
Of course, the question would be if the trial file has bin altered but i don't beleive so since i saw what other files came with it, wich make me beleive thats the correct trial file....
Anyway, if i go in the macromedia folder, i have a link to register online...i need to add all my information, name etc... but it only seem to register my product for them to have my information, not for the trial to become not anymore just a trial.... is what i need to do???

New Computer Error Update Dreamweaver MX2004

Two questions,
first is updating Dreamweaver to 7.0.1. Receiving error
message Dreamweaver is not installed. I've verified the location of
Dreamweaver MX2004 and even selected that folder. For some reason,
it's not seeing the program.
Second Question
Even tho I titled this new computer, it is only a new MB and
new HD. For some stupid reason I did NOT consider how I was going
to handle my DW files. All the data files are a direct copy to a
backup drive.
Drive 1 is not installed in any computer. It has the updated
Dreamweaver installed and my sites. It could be installed into the
new computer, but this is not the preference, as there will be
implications of the old OS on a new MB.
Drive 2 has a completely fresh load of DW {&XP} and copy
of data files off backup drive.
Drive 3 is the USB backup drive.
Once I get DW properly updated, how do I get it to properly
recognize my data and site?
Thank you!

> For some reason, it's not seeing the program.
That means it's already updated, since it's looking for 7.0
and only finding
7.0.1.

> and site?
You would have to export your site definitions from your old
setup and
import them into your new setup. Or, failing that, you would
have to copy
your data files (the site files themselves) into a location
on your new hard
drive, and redefine your sites, each pointing to the proper
root folder on
the new system.

Dreamweaver MX2004 save trouble

Hi all,
I have loaded dreamweaver MX2004 on my new Windows Vista
machine to maintain my website. All set up ok. However when I open
and edit a page and save it, it now saves to my hard drive and not
to the remote server. If i try 'save as' it only gives me options
on my machine and not a file list from the website. It wasn't like
this before on my Windows XP machine.
Any suggestions please. Can i configure it to save the files
back to where they were loaded from, ie the website? Is this
something I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Barry

If your site is an FTP & RDS site, it will save the files
directly to the
server. If it's not saving the files directly to the server,
then it cannot
be an FTP & RDS site. Tell me this - when you look at
this site's name in
the site list of the Files panel, do you see a folder or do
you
see a computer icon? If you see a folder, then your site is
what you would
get if you did NEW SITE | Site, and if it's a computer icon,
then it's what
you would get if you did NEW SITE | FTP & RDS Server. If
your site is the
former, then just create a new site definition, and make sure
you select the
FTP & RDS type.
BUT BEWARE. One silly mistake and you are a dead duck.
