That was more helpful than 40 minutes on the phone with an Apple tech guy who was fixated on seeing my screen (pointless), telling me that I should be able to open a.cwk with the current version of Pages (wrong), and that I can't open Pages '09 in High Sierra (which I don't think is the case, otherwise the app would be so flagged). As far as I remember I never had a trial of Pages '09. I've always used and upgraded the iWorks apps. I can't understand why I would have bothered with a trial. After posting my question I discovered the physical DVD pack for iWork '09 that I had bought. I didn't realize that we were still installing apps from disc until so recently!

I have meanwhile downloaded LibreOffice (thanks for the tip) and it opened the.cwk file without a problem. Not a serial number in sight. It's a shame when we loyal Apple users have to resort to third party apps—but it seems to happen more and more often these days. (I had to switch from Aperture to Adobe Lightroom, for example.)
