The only reason I pay for my creative cloud license is for Adobe Fireworks. Like me, other UX professionals use Fireworks to design Wireframes, Mockups, Prototypes using Fireworks. It seems like, Adobe is totally disconnected with the customer, and they dont really get whats the purpose of Fireworks!!! This is terrible adobe, Fireworks is the best tool for Web and Interface design, and it does it fast and quick!!!
As of May 2013, Adobe is no longer actively developing Fireworks. However, you can still install a previous version from within the Creative Cloud desktop app by checking "Show Older Apps" under Preferences > Apps.
For a detailed guide, please see this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/why-has-adobe-stopped-developing-my-app-.html

With modern equipment and operating systems, use:
Fireworks is 11 years out of date and fully discontinued & unsupported now. The legacy installers won't work on most modern devices -- Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura... It might work on Windows 11 if installed in Win 7 compatibility mode but nobody can guarantee it.
More importantly, Fireworks doesn't recognize or export to modern web image file types, WEBP and AVIF. So even if Fireworks installs, you will need other tools to perform tasks that Fireworks can't.
