How to open A7L file?
The most common problem when using Adobe Authorware Library is that a specific A7L is not associated with the program. This causes the file A7L to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the A7L 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 Authorware

Programs to open A7L file
Remember to download programs supporting A7L files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Authorware with A7L files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the A7L file still does not use the Adobe Authorware program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 A7L file with the Adobe Authorware application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Authorware to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Authorware program, it is possible that Adobe Authorware Library requires a newer version of the program. 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 A7L file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The A7L file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the A7L file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the A7L file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected A7L 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 A7L files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged A7L files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted A7L 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the A7L file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the A7L file again. However, some background programs may block the A7L file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
