Looking for a copy of the Audition 2019 12.1.5.3 installer

Reformatting my 6 year old PC soon - I still have a copy of Au all the way back from version 2017 until the most recent. 
I would still like to have the 2019 version after the reformat. Adobe Support came back to me saying they only have access to version 2020 - which i can see via Creative Cloud - Other Versions. 
Is there any other place I can get this? By any chance do any of you have a copy?
Thanks.

The problem with this is that even if somebody gave you all the run-time files (which are easy to find, but only if they exist), they couldn't give you the installer if they'd installed it via the CC app so you couldn't get it to run anyway. The reason that Adobe support has only got access to the current version and its -1 is that this is what they've been told to do by their legal department. I'm afraid that we are not allowed to discuss the reasons for this decision either, although a bit of searching around might give you a few clues...

 

What this means is that if you have the installer for a previous version, and it's registered on your CC account, then you could reinstall it - but that's the only way. The installer generally takes the form of a single large setup file that unpacks itself when you run it, but the CC app hides all that away from you, and I suspect that it destroys it when it's finished with it. I can't find any on this machine that are post Audition 10.

As always, thank you Steve for the quick response. That is unfortunate.

@MonoxideWorks  I know this is an old thread, but I'm in the same boat as you were back in 2021, looking to download and install the 2019 Audition version 12.1.5.3. I asked Adobe for help twice, and they both sent me to community.adobe.com, the second time specifically to this thread. I followed @John Waller's link to download this version from prodesigntools.com but I'm completely lost on that site. I can't find the actual link to download the installer. Can either of you guys help me?
