Is Freehand MX available to download?

Is Freehand MX available to download? I'd like to repurchase it for my G5 which is still running Leopard 10.5.8. But having upgraded my MacBook Pro to Lion (doh!) I can no longer use Freehand MX on the laptop. Unfortunately the program on my G5 died in a hard disc crash a year ago.
I am absolutely dismayed to find out that the Freehand has been bought and buried!!! It's the BEST!

Thanks for taking the time to reply and advise me Mark. I was hoping to access Freehand via a source other than Adobe - and what a price!! are they having a laugh??? £375!
Thanks again though…

I have found that I do actually have Freehand still installed on my mac in a timemachine backup - but when I open the program, I am asked for the registration details etc. This is a problem for me as I no longer have it! I have not pirated the software: I purchased the mac and the software when working for another business, I then moved to another business and paid a job lot for the second hand mac and all software, but did not check that I had all the installation CDs. Is there any way I can re-enable the licence? PS: I've tried to use Illustrator in the absence of Freehand - but I just can't BEAR it!!!!!!! aghhhhhhhhhh!

The problem might be OSX. There exists a Adobe workaround with a modified registration file. Try this:
