    I have bad news and good news for you...

    Because of the age of AA3.0, Adobe have taken the activation servers for this off line so you can no longer use your existing CD and serial number.

    The good news though is that Adobe have provided a download of AA 3 on which you can use a generic serial number which they also provide.  You can get details of this from this FAQ:  Audition 3 and the activation service   I suggest you scroll down to the last few posts which will give you the latest details.

    One last point...you'll also find that the download site provides an upgrade to version 3.01.  I suggest you also install this--it came out shortly after the original version and fixes a few bugs.

    Good luck and happy mixing!

    Still on Audition 3.0 but concerning the Loopology Collection.  My disk got --- trashed.  I'm reloading stuff after a crash -- followed by a rebuild -- Is it still available -- or still somewhere?  Some of it survived, it would be cool if that component was available.

     

    Thanks.

    You may need to take careful note of the steps to take to remove all traces of this before you install the working version - these are in the second post on the thread.

    Oldy and moldy thread, I know. I just installed Windows 11 and need to reinstall Audtiion 3.x. I don't have to go through the delete process since this Windows 11 is a clean install, no apps. I have all the old Audition installers and license/serial keys and as documented, none of them work. I can run Audition, but I get a message that my reinstall is a 30-day trial version. I've opened an issue with Adobe to work around this trial issue since I paid for Audtion 14 years ago and have been using it regularly when I had Windows 7, 8 and 10. Of course they tried to sell me the latest suite which I don't need. Waiting to hear from Support on how to reinstall and get back my permanent Audition. If anyone else has had this 30-day trial issue, please let me know what workd for you. Thank you.  Thorne

    I suggest you read this thread (or indeed any of the others that all say the same thing). There is a clue in it as to what you need to do, but you will have to chase this up for yourself. There is no point in contacting Adobe about it - they won't help you in the slightest - they certainly won't help you reinstall it. Apart from any other considerations, their legal team won't allow it.
