From discussions I've read on other Adobe forms, product activation is now
handled by a third-party company on contract to Adobe.

Since Leopard (OS 10.5) is the current Mac OS and Adobe still sells FreeHand
MX through its web site, this strikes me as highly unethical.

The Adobe web site gives Mac system requirements for FHMX as " Mac OS 9.1
through OS X 10.3". Maybe activation tech support takes that as an excuse to
refuse to serve you.
