Bit of a long shot but is anyone selling an older version of Audition they no longer need? My PC isn't high enough spec to run the latest one.

You don't need to purchase one - follow the instructions here: Audition 3 and the activation service

If you can't run Audition 3, then you definitely need a new computer!

Thanks everyone for your help - managed to get Audition 3 installed.

It doesn't recognise my soundcard now but that's another matter.....

Which specification is your computer not meeting?

For the latest version it's Windows 8.

For version 3 it seems it's also not compatible with Windows 8? The installer runs ok I think but it doesn't seem to actuall yinstall the software.

So I'd still like to buy an odler version from someone if possible. Version 6 would be perfect as I'm used to using that one anyway.

Version 3 works fine with Windows 8, although Windows 8 came out after version 3.

I think I've seen what you're describing with the installer. The workaround might simply be right-click on the *.msi file near the installer and choose "Install" directly from there. The initial download simply downloads and extracts the installer.

Even though the very most recent version of Audition CC blocks install on OS versions before certain Windows 10 versions, you can still install certain previous versions of Audition CC (which can install on Windows 8) with a current subscription or trial. I know this isn't obvious from our website. This help article should outline how to do that: Install previous version of your Creative Cloud app

It should be noted that installation of Audition 3 technically requires an appropriate license to install. The installer doesn't check or validate if that is true, but that is the policy as far as I understand it.
