Question

Fireworks 8 Serial Number

I downloaded a copy of Macromedia Fireworks 8.

It works just as I recall.

 

The trial now wants a serial number but Adobe support say they don't do that.

 

Does anyone know where I can get a serial number or how I can make it work.

 

Happy to pay but want this to work.

 

Thanks

    I can't imagine where you got it. Fireworks is End of Life.  It hasn't been sold or supported since 2012.

     

    Unless you purchased a copy 15 years ago, there is no way to get a valid serial number anymore.

    Besides it's unfit for use on most modern computers.  It's too old.

    Hi Thanks. I had an old copy of Fireworks MX but it wouldn't read anymore. So I looked online recently and found a copy of Fireworks8. I just like its simplicity and reducing filesize etc is SO easy. If I could find a license for it i would just keep using it. It runs without error on windows11
