I have Cool Edit Pro version 2. I also have Adobe Audition upgrade. I need help making my Cool Edit work that I purchased. Then, I want to upgrade and use my Adobe Audition, but I'm running into trouble with both installing. And I have all the information I think needed to make it work, but it is not.

      Hi Angusdog1,

      As Dave Merchant notes, activation for Adobe Audition 3 and older is no longer available. However, Adobe has created a workaround for affected customers. There is a special version of CS2 available which includes Audition. The special version can be downloaded and activated by following the instructions in this help document: Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3. Please note that you need to use the serial number provided during installation. Your existing serial number will not work. Also be aware that there is no guarantee the older software will be compatible with newer operating systems.

      Let us know how it goes or if you have further questions.

      Best,

      Del - your information is incorrect. The CS2 bypass serials are only issued for use by customers who have a license for a qualifying product - CS2, Acrobat 7 and Audition 3. This user does not have Audition 3, they have Audition 1, and so using the installers is not permitted under Adobe's terms of license.

      It has been my understanding that the CS2 bypass was intended to assist all customers affected by the activation server shutdown, which includes people who had earlier versions of the software which utilized that server. However, I will certainly check my information and get back to you.

      For help with Cool Edit Pro you will likely have to try their support channels. Not sure how Adobe can help with that?

      Adobe bought Cool Edit Pro. I also have the Adobe Audition disc, that I purchased but the serial numbers are not working.

      Yes Adobe did buy Cool Edit Pro, but many many years ago. There is absolutely no support for it now. Cool Edit Pro 2 became Adobe Audition 1.0, which also has no support. All the activation systems for software prior to CS2 (Audition 3) were shut down. Sorry, but you're out of options.
