Fireworks won't open

[Giacomo Fabbrocino]

I'm very tired about having paid for Fireworks (I have the CC teacher plan) and not being able to use it.
Is there an official way to make it work?

Fireworks is a discontinued, unsupported product (as you probably know anyway). If you read some 10-20 recent threads on this forum, you may come across a workaround that can help you run Fireworks (which, however, is not guaranteed).

What is your problem? Explain better so that you can provide a solution.

Fireworks won't launch for me either. It doesn't do anything, click the icon on my Win 11 computer or "Open" button in CC, my computer thinks for a second of two then nothing.

Ok, I have a solution that might work, it happened to me today and I processed it and it worked,

1- put Adobe Manager to run as administrator C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDapp.exe

2- Search on YouTube for "How to open Photoshop Cs6 with an expired trial" and do the procedure,

Apparently it's a problem with the serial, if you do this Fireworks will work again activated with your Creative Cloud subscription

Sadly, no.  If your subscription is paid for by your school, contact your school's IT dept. for assistance. Maybe they can help you.

Fireworks was discontinued 12 years ago.  It's no longer supported.  As a legacy 32-bit app, it may work on some but not all modern operating systems.  That's the risk you take with discontinued software.

Best advice is to use modern graphics apps that are compatible with your computer.
