Fireworks - Install or Open PNG?

[Speedr]

Is there a way to install Fireworks on a Mac running Parallels Desktop for Windows?  I can't seem to find any version of the program for download - and if I do its a trial version from some suspect website, which I'm not going to trust.  I have tons of files I created with Fireworks and need to open them with all the layers available and editable.

Any solutions out there?

I'm assuming you have a Creative Cloud subscription?

Firstly install the Creative Cloud app in your Parallels Windows VM, then go here and download a Fireworks CS6  offline installer for Windows. *Important* these are links to official Adobe installers and you need to visit this page first and login with your Adobe credentials before trying to download (to set an Adobe cookie).

I got Fireworks CS6 working successfully on a Macbook Air M1 with this method.

Other things which may be useful: there is a web based app called Photopea that can open layered Fireworks PNGs and here are some Fireworks commands for batch converting layered Fireworks PNGs to PSDs and other formats.

Paul-M, 

Thanks alot!  Yes, I have a Creative Cloud subscription. I downloaded the Windows version to my Parallels Windows VM from ProDesign Tools.  Then installed the "Creative Cloud" desktop app.  Once I signed into the Creative Cloud it showed Fireworks in my list of installed apps.  I can now get into all of my previously created Fireworks files!
