LicenseKey of old Fireworks cs6 does not work for Adobe Fireworks cs6

I have a key which starts with WSW600- and the Serial number for Adobe Fireworks CS6 has only 6 characters/Numbers.
What can I do to change my WSW600-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx to a valid Adobe License number?

    I have no idea what could have happened to get such a dialog box.

    I use Fw every day and quite intensively, and I only restart the computer during system updates, or when the memory becomes corrupted ... which happens from time to time despite the use of old 4-core xeons ... and each time, when I re-launch Fw, I have to re-enter my codes and re-authenticate Fw in a cumbersome way, Adobe code sent by Mail or SMS, plus reopen the CC account ...

    Each time, the trial period is always limited to 30 days, except this time, when I hurried to take the screenshot... Imagine 32 767 remaining days left for trial !

    With a bit of luck you could have a relatively correct trial period... 🙂

    You can't buy Fireworks anymore.  It was discontinued 11 years ago.

     

    To reinstall, you need the original serial number and matching installer (platform & language) that you received at purchase.  Also you need an older supporting computer with an optical reader.  New Macs since Catalina can't install 32-bit software.  😞

     

    If you registered your software, you can probably find the serial number in your online account.  Log-in below.

    Hope that helps.
