Programs to open A5L file
Remember to download programs supporting A5L files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Authorware with A5L files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the A5L file to open in the Adobe Authorware application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the A5L file with the Adobe Authorware application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Authorware to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe Authorware program with the Authorware 5 Library file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the A5L file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the A5L file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file A5L or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected A5L file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the A5L file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular A5L file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted A5L 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move A5L to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the A5L file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file A5L to close. However, some background programs may block the A5L file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
