Fireworks Asking for Serial # - Says Trial Period Expired

Enough, I'm tired, I'm a cloud subscriber and now I'm forced to add a serial that I don't have, so for everyone who is tired of looking for a solution, just search on YouTube: "How to open Photoshop Cs6 with Trial expired" and do the fireworks It will work again for 30 days indefinitely until Adobe decides to activate the license with our cc login for those who subscribe to them.

Had same issue - was stumped, but another thread somewhere said to install Adobe Muse through CC and then it fixes it - and it worked!

I have a quick and easy solution to this problem, but first I need to say that I am extremely frustrated with Adobe, I pay for my subscription and I want the right to use fireworks cs6, I'm sorry, but I don't think they should end it this program, even today this software created by the old macromedia is incredibly fast and easy to use to do simple designer tasks, and it works very well on weak machines, without a video card, doing much with 5% of the memory and disk space that PS needs it to run nowadays, and it also works very well with vectors, something that Photoshop doesn't do well, I can't, for example, send a vector from Illustrator to Photoshop or open an EPS without it being a bitmap in full 2025 wtf, but I can save it do it in Fireworks and even in photopeia in psd and open the shape vector in PS for example, so I'm sorry but FW is still something extremely useful for doing a lot of things that PS and Illustrator do in a very heavy way, I even got to buy Infinity but it is still heavy compared to the old version of FW, so please don't kill FW ever, if you don't want to support it, just remove the dependency on its license,

And here is my solution, unfortunately, so that everyone is sure, in recent months when installing FW it was asking for the installation of the Adobe Manager license management program that Creative Cloud did the favor of not installing in new versions of Cs6 applications, the download link was disabled, so find out how to download via the link https://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe//creativesuite/cc/win/ApplicationManager10.0_all.exe but now it is asking for 30 days, and when I I log in with my account and ask for the serial number,

So, Adobe, either you solve this in a legal way, or there will only be one "not legal" solution left to do this, which would be to just change a "famous dll" that I won't say the name of, here and finally disable the license and software dependency. Adobe Manager and everyone will finally be able to freely use our FW, I think it would be fair since they paid and have the right to use their license.

Super frustrated - Existing Fireworks install went into trial mode and that ran out. I have the full Adobe CC suite and have for years. Tried to install Fireworks on another computer and it will not install. Tried everything I found on Reddit and in Adobe forums but no joy.

I tried Affinity Designer a few years ago but it was too complex and didn't seem to have easy ways to do things I do in Fireworks. Out of frustration, I upgraded to v2 of Affinity and watched a YouTube video on how to use it. So far it is great.

• Good things = It can open more file types and export to .svg and other file types Fireworks can't, $90 1-time fee
• Bad things = I am still faster and better using Fireworks and opening Fireworks .png files gives you a flat file.....
• Excellent Luck Photopea (link removed) allows you to upload your .png file and save it as a file type with layers and fonts in tact so you can open them with Affinity Designer. When doing this, click File => Save More => PSD/PSB => click the PSB tab and then click to save the file. It works!!! Photopea is free, but please give the creator the small $5 donation he is asking for. It is a monthly subscription, but he also has 1-time payment options that revert back to the free version after X days. Order and support this awesome guy! There is a batch conversion function too, but I haven't figured out how to make it work (didn't spend much time on it as I'm behind with what I needed due to messing around with Adobe support and all of the suggestions to make things work.

I still would love to have Fireworks work for me again. I love the product and have been using it since Macromedia created it. It is a super quick and easy tool to use and produces great compressed file sizes for web use. It's a shame Adobe doesn't have a good tool for website graphics creators. *Note about Affinity Designer - it has a Photo editing and Vector editing mode. It really does combine the best of both worlds from what I have seen. And doing arcs, swooshes, add text to paths, etc. is super simple. So, I think I will like it once I spend some time and learn the interface better.

Affinity also recently got bought out by Canva.....so I do see the potential for integrations there. If you learn it now, you'll be ahead of the curve and might get more out of Canva if you use it. I don't use Canva but know many people who do.

The current issue seems to be related to the Adobe Licensing Engine/Process and NOT with MS Windows breaking something. So give me my darn software. I have a license but it's not accepting it. Adobe support was useless and basically just pointed me to their forums to get help from other users.

I will continue to try and get Fireworks to work as I love the software. I'll try it once a month or so and hope whatever issue Adobe has caused will be fixed due to the number of angry users complaining. Fingers crossed and I hope this helps others who are in the same boat of frustration.

When my trial ran out, there was a "Register" button that I clicked while I was logged into the Adobe CC app, it then registered and everything works fine now.
