CE2k plugins

can anyone suggest where I might get keys for a couple plugins I have but never registered before Adobe acquired CE? I've written to Adobe a couple times asking about plugin keys for CE2k but they have never answered (not even to say "no").
the one I really want to get activated is the click and pop filter.

I wouldn't mind getting Audition, but CE2k does what I need and Audition doesn't run on Win98se from what I hear.

I say, "Bite the Bullet" and get WinXP and AA2. I still have it to crash!

Some of us can't affore to buy the bullet yet.

You won't get the registration codes, because they are unique, inasmuch as they have to be created in the name of the user of that particular copy of CE2000 - in other words, nobody else's codes would work. Adobe have flatly refused to generate any more codes since they took over Syntrillium - and virtually not even acknowledged the existence of the product, so I'm not surprised that you haven't had an answer.

To them, you are not. It's not an Adobe product, and the product support team (who are not ex-Syntrillium people) no nothing about it. So they will ignore you, in the hope that you'll go away...

Probably not the best way to handle folks who could become future customers.

You'd have thought not, certainly. But with some companies, this seems to be the way it is, unfortunately. I have no idea why Adobe have taken such a hard line over CE2000 - but they have been consistent about this since they took over. It's not even as though they've implemented something like 'Audition Elements' (despite a lot of pressure from all over the place), which would at least have vindicated their position slightly...

I was not talking about a hard line so much as the lack of response to folks who think Adobe bought all of Syntrillium's obligations.  It shouldn't be that hard to compose a short e-mail response stating basically what SteveG said above ("we don't support anything before AA 1.0") that would automatically be sent out in response to incoming e-mails that contained key trigger words - such as CE2K, etc.

But in the cost/benefit analysis, perhaps that segment of potential future customers is considered to be small enough to not be worth such an effort.  I'm not trying to be cheeky, but that's they way it goes (action based on cost/benefit analysis) when one has to make a profit.

We put the argument the other way around - we suggested that people who bought 'elements' versions of any of Adobe's software were more likely to be the customers who upgraded to full versions - and that the crude C/B analysis wasn't very helpful if one was perhaps a little more optimistic about one's customer base...

Which could be expressed slightly more simply by saying that once you have them by a tender part of their anatomy, their hearts and minds will follow...

I agree.  It would be curious to see what percentage of current Audition users came in through CE96.
