When installing a new version of Adobe Audition 3.0, you will be required to enter the serial
number. If you are installing an upgrade and the installer cannot find the previous version on your
hard drive, you will need to enter both the new 24-digit serial number that was included with the
upgrade and the serial number from your previous version.
If your serial number does not work, please contact Adobe Customer Support:

Activating your software
You need to activate your copy of Adobe Audition 3.0 within 30 days of installing the software. You
can activate your copy by using your Internet connection or by calling customer service.
Activation is a series of simple and quick steps users of Adobe Audition take upon installation in
order to begin using the application. Product activation is built in to help Adobe prevent copying of
the software onto more than the number of computers permitted by the license agreement
governing the software.
You can choose the activation process you prefer: by Internet, by phone using the 24-hour
automated Adobe Software Activation System, or by phone speaking directly with a Customer
Care Representative. If you’ve activated more than two times using your Internet connection, you’ll
need to activate by phone.
