Please fix this "trial over and enter serial number" issue for Creative Cloud users. I pay a lot of money every month and I need the Firework program to do my work.

    @jerryh123123,

    Fireworks is discontinued.  That building has been empty for years.  Whatever you pay per month for Creative Cloud service is NOT going toward Fireworks development.  And nobody from Adobe is watching this space anymore.

     

    Illustrator is the graphics app of choice for SVG web icons, logos, drawings, charts, infographics and other flat colored images.

    People don't want a clunky vector program, it is not a replacement for Fireworks ... If you were a Fireworks users and understood why people use it, you would understand that ....

    Agreed. I see no working solution yet.

    This is a user to use forum and don't think Adobe even monitor what goes on here as Fireworks is EOL (end of life) - they don't care.

     

    Until someone comes up with a more permanent solution , you can look through several posts here where some workarounds have worked for some people. Also state your OS if you want assistance.

     

    If you have a full Creative Cloud subscription you can give Photoshop or Illustrator a go ( I do appreciate they are not a drop in replacement for Fireworks and much less intuitive).

     

    If Fireworks is a key reason why you have a Creative Cloud subscription, then I would look at cancelling your subscription and look at the following alternatives:

     

    Photopea - a web based app that can open layered Fireworks PNGs

    Affinity Designer - About the nearest thing to Fireworks with versions for both Mac and PC.

    Adobe says Fireworks is EOL, but it's still available in the creative cloud app list. And i'm not asking for a product change or something, but just to stop asking me for the serial key. If they don't want to develop the program anymore that's fine with me. Then make it a freeware 🙂
