I have Illustrator CS3 installed.  When I click on a save document from last year, I get a message that I cannot use this product, contact administor or Adobe.  What do I do?

I have Adobe Illustrator CS3 installed on my Windows 7 computer.  I created art last year.  I clicked on it today to modify it and use it for my holiday card.  I got a message that I am not allowed to use this product and must contact my administrator or Adobe.  I am the only user of this home computer and the administrator.  Why can't I use the program and what do I do?  It mentioned uninstalling it and reinstalling it.  Is that what I have to do?  I can't seem to contact Adobe directly anymore.

You have not provided the exact error message (including any numeric codes). From the looks of it this sounds like the licensing system simply failed and indeed a reinstall is the only proper way to fix it. run the cleaner tool and reinstall.
