Contact Macromedia, they will help you.

I do not think that it is a valid serial number for Freehand 10. My Freehand 10 Serial No. Starts with FHM100

Hi,

What operating system did you work with previously? Don't know about FH10, but
my whole MX's license said that it was platform-specific, i.e. once activated
on MSWin, cannot be moved to Mac later.

I made the mistake of misunderstanding the license, in spite of reading it a
couple of times. Macromedia was so kind that after activation of the MX on Win
(and immediate license relase when I realized it would be forever denied on
Mac), after some 2 weeks and lots of excuses they allowed me to switch back to
my intended Mac OSX.

That MAY be a reason of your trouble.
