Digital Typography -- twenty years later

Way way back in the day I unlocked the Adobe AVENIR font family from my Adobe TYPE ON CALL CD-ROM, on a Macintosh that probably had a Motorola 68030 microprocessor inside. Do I still "own" those fonts, and does Adobe keep records of such things?
I know for sure that I paid for it, and it was around fifty dollars, and I remember this quite clearly because that was a LOT of money for me at the time. I know I was able to move the font to floppy disks, or something like that. Well, here we are in the year 2012. I wish I could use that AVENIR font that I bought. Do I still have the rights to get at that font, or did I lose those rights when I lost the Mac?

Are you saying that you don't have an unlocked back-up copy of the font anymore, and that you would like to get it from the CD again, but do not have the code?
