Hello, I've been using fireworks for several years but my pc was absolutely (old), I already have a new machine with windows 10 but when installing cs3 asks me for the code authorization.
I ask for help to be able to use meo fireworks again.
Thank you very much.

I may be wrong on this, but depending on where you live consumer protection laws may require adobe to provide a way to activate your purchased software offline (since the online actvation is no longer feasible). This is probably the case in Europe (again, I may be wrong on this).

Adobe made an activation-free installer and serial number available for a few years but it is no longer available.  That ship has sailed.

Sorry for the late reply.  What you ask is impossible.  CS1, CS2 and CS3 are dead & gone. The activation servers were removed from service years ago. Even if you find an installer, it's impossible to activate the software.

 

Time for new software to go with your new computer and operating systems 🙂
