Hello, I upgraded my Mac to Catalina and now the Fireworks CS6 application no longer works. I am fond of it, I am very happy to use it, and I would like to continue to use it. Has any patches been devoloped that allow to continue using it? Thank you

That's because you don't have an individual plan, you're on a Creative Cloud Teams plan. Contact your IT dept.

Assuming you have an older operating system and your company policies allow you to use discontinued software, your IT dept admin must create a Fireworks package for you.

you probably need to select 'show older apps' in the creative cloud app preferences => apps

No. Legacy 32-bit software can't run on Catalina. CS6 is discontinued and unsupported. Your software hasn't been updated in almost 9 years and never will be. Use at your own risk.

If you have the CS6 installation disks & serial number for Mac, you cannot run it on Windows. Instead find an old Mac computer that you can dedicate to old software. Also for security reasons, I would refrain from connecting an old machine to the Internet.

Good luck!

Hi,

I'm afraid you won't be able to use Fireworks on Catalina and there won't be a 64 bit version of Fireworks.

You either have to:

1) Roll back to an earlier version of OSX

2) Use a Windows PC

3) Some users have suggested Parrallels Desktop to run Windows on Mac

To get Fireworks I did remove Catelina and reinstalled Mojave. But when I go to Creative Suites it no longer has Fireworks on it. So how do I get to a earlier version of Creative Suites that has Fireworks
