Did you ever get a chance to talk to a tech support rep - or were you online or in recorded message hell? I had a similar issue a few years ago where a HD crash forced me to re-install CS-4 and I had not deactivated the copy I was using - obviously, since it was on the HD that crashed. I wound up calling Adobe and got a new serial number from a customer service rep. I did not find a way to do it on the website. I don't know if they still have voice support but if they do, you might want to try that.

I’ve been running PS CS6 on my desktop and laptop for a few years. No problems. 
My laptop is a Mac Pro without a DVD drive. I installed PS 6 from  a time 
machine backup once before and Adobe just requested the serial number. Easy. 
Today I had to do a clean install of the OS on the laptop and when I tried to 
install PS 6 from the Time Machine backup it wouldn’t let me. Adobe gave me an 
Error 16 and said to contact tech support. When I went to tech support I got a 
bunch of BS about different levels of support available but no clear way to ask 
a question. Digging further I got nothing but ads to buy the Cloud versions. Am 
I screwed? Might I be able to install it from an external DVD drive using the 
original disks?
