This is manifested by the fact that AAS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

Remember to download programs supporting AAS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Authorware with AAS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AAS file still does not use the Adobe Authorware program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 AAS 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 Adobe Authorware Shocked Packet file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 AAS file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AAS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 AAS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AAS 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 AAS 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AAS files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems Incorporated
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AAS files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the AAS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 AAS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AAS file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
