Re: Fireworks from CS6... How do I download/buy?

I have Creative Cloud and Fireworks CS6 is installed.  I was able to use it through it's trial period. Now that the trial is over, it prompts me to either "buy" (link to dead end) or "license".  How do I get around this?

    What happens when you click on License this product and enter your CS6 serial number?

     

    Fireworks is discontinued, unsupported and no longer available except with a paid ALL APPS plan to Creative Cloud. And you must have the option to Show Older Versions checked in your CC Desktop App preferences. 

     

     

    If you don't have that option because you're on an Teams /  Enteprise plan, please contact your IT dept admin.  They will need to create a special package for you to access discontinued  Fireworks.

    Thank you for the quick reply, Nancy!

    The license I had before they discontinued was for CS5 and it doesn't work when I enter it (must not work for CS6).

    The latter part of your reply was not an issue for me; I was able to find and install Fireworks from CC Desktop.  It was working fine until the trial period ended of course.  I've become quite dependant on Fireworks over the years that I feel handicapped on any alternative software.

    Thanks again!

    Are you a paid Creative Cloud ALL Apps plan member?  I ask because only paid ALL Apps plan members have access to discontinued products.
