So I installed Mojave on my machine, as the authorities on this forum said both Freeway and Xway would run fine on it. However, when I try to open Freeway (latest version) this message pops up:
“Freeway Pro cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Freeway Pro works with this version of macOS.”
Are you running the very latest version of Freeway? (7.1.4, IIRC.) I am running 7.1.3 here on Mojave, with no issues.

IIRC means “If I Recall Correctly”. It was an editorial comment on the stability of my long-term memory, nothing more.
I would try uninstalling and re-installing. You should not need to re-serialize the app if all you do is drag it to the trash and download again. But do be sure you have your serial number handy, nonetheless.

Walter, it is 7.1.4. The llRC I don’t know about.
Should I as a starter uninstall Freeway and download again?
I have reinstalled Freeway, rebooted the imac, deleted the Freeway plist file.
And I’m stuck.
Any more suggestions from somebody? If not I suppose downgrading to El Capitan (I upgraded to Mojave with a workaround) via Time Machine is my only option and wait for Xway until I get a newer machine.
It’s not likely that this is related to Freeway at all. The problem is most likely in your system installation. This framework is being called (indirectly) by Freeway, but it’s not a part of Freeway – it’s a core part of MacOS. The fact that it’s not working here means it’s probably going to be tripped up by another app that does graphic manipulation too.

The thing is I have an old iMac (early 2008) which has worked great through all the years. Admittedly I’ve done some improvements, put in an SSD, more memory, new mike, etc.
When I found out there’s a possibility of installing Mojave on this old beast I gave it a try. And it worked fine. Until I wanted to open Freeway. Which didn’t happen, as you saw.
I’ve got time machine backups, so I plan to erase mojave and reinstall El Capitan from that, looking after old Freeway sites. And then wait for the new generation of iMacs. With beautifully slender bezels. And Xway.
I considered using one of his workarounds when I had a 2009 MBP as my primary Mac but never got around to it. It’s possible it doesn’t install everything, but I don’t have that impression. I don’t know why you’re having that issue.
