    Fireworks is discontinued & unsupported. AFAIK, it can no longer be activated even with a paid Creative Cloud plan.

    Use this https://www.photopea.com/ to open layered PNG files from Fireworks. Convert to more suitable file types such as TIFF or PSD files which support layers.

     

    Going forward, use other graphics apps like Photoshop, Illustrator or Adobe Express. 

     

    Hope that helps.
