First, I am assuming you have a floppy drive of some kind. An external USB one, probably. If you don't, you're kind of screwed. Find a friend who has one. Buy one, use it to authorize your plugins, then return it.

So the problem you are having is that the plugin won't even recognize the fact that you have a floppy drive attached to this computer. I ran into this problem recently. I'm really pissed that manufacturers haven't fixed this floppy thing (Macs have been without floppies for how long now? 4 years?), but I got around it.

There should be a program on the floppy that lets you authorize/deauthorize your hard drive for the plugin. If you run that, without even trying to run the plugin, it will authorize your hard drive.

I hope that helps.
