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.

Version 3 and earlier

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.

It's just so odd, because now two different people from Adobe sent me here to ask for help getting the older version of the program.

I don't know why they are doing this - there are two possibilities I can think of, neither of which is particularly satisfactory. The first is that somehow, this 'go to the U2U' answer has got onto the crib sheets that they use (you have to bear in mind that the support staff don't actually use the software...) and the second is that it hasn't, and is just a stock answer that will get you off the line quickest.

But the advice we were given about this was pretty unequivocal - it is official Adobe policy that the only versions of almost all of their software that will be available is the current version and its -1. And we are officially not supposed to circumvent this, and this has been the case since wayback, if you get my drift...
