MX 2004 on MacBook Pro?

Question

Anyone managed to get Dreamweaver MX 2004 (Academic edition,
if it matters) running on the new MBPs under Rosetta? I've read of
other people seemingly getting it to run, but for me it just
bounces in the dock a few times and dies:
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000

I can't afford to upgrade to a newer version of DW, so at the
moment I'm resorting to running it under XP in Parallels-- except
that there it won't accept my registration (I did de-authorise it
on my old PowerBook first, and although both Mac and Windows
versions are on the DVD, there's only one serial number), so after
30 days I'm in trouble :/

Don't know the answer to this, but it should work. Your best
bet is
probably to contact Adobe technical support.

The Mac and Windows versions of Dreamweaver (and all
Macromedia/Adobe
programs) are distributed under separate licences. The serial
number for
a Mac version is invalid on a Windows OS and vice-versa.
