Hi @Nic5E1D,

Do you have a paid ALL Apps plan to Creative Cloud?
Which OS do you have?

If you're on Win10 or Mac OS Mojave, you still have access to FW. Just make sure to select the box to Show Older Versions in CC Desktop App. See screenshots below.

Click your Avatar (top right image) and select Preferences.

Hi - there aren't any Adobe apps that open a layered Fireworks PNG and keep its editability, you will need to convert the Fireworks PNG to another format if you want to use them in another Adobe application.

Here are a few options

1) Photopea - opens layered Fireworks PNGs - you can open them and export to PSD for example

2) Download these Fireworks commands for batch conversion of Fireworks PNGs to PSD format, unzip and copy the 'Batch Convert' folder to your Fireworks Commands folder. Come back to me if you need more help
