Fireworks CS6 Direct Download Links

[Oliver Tonks]

Hello,

I have been browsing the internet looking for a way to download CS6 as I have the license key but have lost the install disc.

I have come across a website that appears to have Fireworks and the other CS6 applications up for download.

The website is called: ProDesignTools.

I was wondering if this is a reputable source before clicking download on anything.

--Thanks.

Thank you for the information below. I was looking for the CS6 Fireworks download. I was able to download the fireworks version on my PC without any problems. The ProDesignTools page works great.

But on my Macbook 16 Pro Max 2023 version, the Fireworks for Mac does not work.

Looks like Fireworks is a 32bit app. And no longee works with Macbook which is 64 bit.

Adobe's message saying: 

If you get an alert about a 32-bit app

You will see one of these alerts when attempting to open a 32-bit app: 

[app name] needs to be updated.
The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information.

[app name] is not optimized for your Mac and needs to be updated.
This app will not work with future versions of macOS and needs to be updated to improve compatibility. Contact the developer for more information.

When installing macOS, you may see a list of recently used apps that are 32-bit. You can review this list before deciding to continue installation. You may also see a prohibitory symbol over the icon of each 32-bit app in the Finder, letting you know that the app will not open.

Fireworks is old, discontinued software from 2012.  It has not installed on Mac machines since Catalina came out.  That door slammed shut when Apple dropped backwards compatibility for 32-bit apps. 

Best advice, use Creative Cloud apps -- Photoshop or Illustrator 2023 -- on Ventura.  However, if you're using an M2 machine, you may encounter some compatibility issues with certain CC apps.   See screenshot below.

Hello

I´m looking for a valid Adobe Fireworks CS6 license (NOT paying expensive creative suite subscriptions). I KNOW Fireworks is discontinued since MANY years but i like it and i want to still using it.
Maybe adobe can free this software for many people using it. We are not asking for updates, or support, ONLY we can USE the product. 
Is ridiculuos to pay the monthy subscription for many services when we only want to use ONE product discontinued at least 8 years ago!!!
Thanks

Fireworks is discontinued. It's hasn't been available for purchase in many years.

Pirated copies infected with malware and other nasties can probably be found on auction sites but I wouldn't risk it for obsolete software that could cripple your computer or put your personal data in peril.
