Desperately need to access Fireworks CS6

Hello,

 

I am so frustrated at Adobe for stealing my property (Fireworks CS6 perpetual license) that I paid for, and denying me access to it indefinitely.  I have tried everything to get it to work.  I heard to try installing Muse but I can't find that either.  Why is Adobe such a terrible company?  Tech support was unable to help me.

    Fireworks and Muse are End-of-Life.

    Adobe discontinued them in 2013.  Why did you wait so long to migrate to new software?

     

    Try this:

    - PhotoPea: https://www.photopea.com/ can open most layered PNG files from Fireworks.


    FIREWORKS ALTERNATIVES:
    =========
    - Illustrator - for Vector Graphics: https://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator.html
    - Photoshop - for Raster Images: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html

    - Photoshop Elements (3 year license, no subscription required): https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/buy-elements.html

     

    Hope that helps.
