Fireworks CS6 - Disabled Panels - Signed Cert Expired?

Question

I downloaded Fireworks CS6 from via Creative Cloud Desktop & some of the built-in extensions/panels are not working including the CSS properties Panel. I'm running on Windows 10 (64 bit) BTW.

I'm pretty sure this is due to outdated signed certificate associated with the bundled extensions, can somebody who monitions these forums PLEASE make sure that somebody at Adobe looks at this, it seems to me its a minor maintenance update to fix this and it needs to be addressed.

Please at the very least acknowledge this and give a fix date Adobe!!

FYI, if you're interested in this, I guess you as you've posted a reply:

Here is a registry hack to get the disabled panels working in Fireworks CS6 :

Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.3

Create a string value with name "PlayerDebugMode" and value: 1

Restart Fireworks if it was already open.

The Fireworks development team was disbanded back in 2013. Adobe has no interest in updating Fireworks in any way, not even updating outdated signed certificates.

Fireworks is legacy software. Sad, but it is what it is.

If this functionality is important to you, I would suggest you look for alternatives, or perhaps turn back the date on your machine.
