How to open 8LI file?
The main problem with Photoshop Scripting Plug-in is that the 8LI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file 8LI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 8LI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Adobe Photoshop

Programs to open 8LI file
Remember to download programs supporting 8LI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with 8LI files
If, despite the installed application, the 8LI file does not start in the Adobe Photoshop application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 8LI file with the Adobe Photoshop application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Photoshop with Photoshop Scripting Plug-in there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 8LI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to 8LI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 8LI file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected 8LI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 8LI files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 8LI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 8LI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move 8LI to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the 8LI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 8LI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 8LI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
