I am trying to install Adobe Audition 2.0 on a computer it was once installed on.  I am receiving an error message saying Activation unsuccessful because Activation server is not available at this time.

It gives me a phone number to call.

A recording tells me support is no longer available by telephone and to go to website with question.

I am here, seeking advice as to how to install this program.

    You are encountering an issue that applies to most of the CS2 and earlier versions of Adobe products.  If you don't mind moving up one version you should be able to acquire and install Audition 3 in place of the version you have.  I believe your version qualifies you for this - someone else had the same problem this past week and they were successful getting version 3 as a replacement.  Just follow the instructions on the following page:

    Thanks Ned.  I was able to install Adobe Audition 3.0, but when I clicked to open it, my computer shut down.  I tried 3 times with the same result each time. Unfortunately, I will not be able to work with either Adobe Audition 2.0 or 3.0.

    Manitou please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195856 which discusses software titles affected by the activation server shut down.
