Have you tried calling Adobe Customer Support (not Tech Support) and asking for help in interpreting the abused and inscrutable characters and digits? If you're not registered, for sanity create a gridded table with as many columns as the complete license requires, including dashes, then enter the license as best you can, then for each possibly ambiguous character, create rows that systematically try all possible combinations of those doubtful characters. If you've ever tried to suss out the remote-control codes for undocumented TVs, media players, etc., this will feel familiar.
