How to open AL$ file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AL$ 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 Cubase

Programs to open AL$ file
Remember to download programs supporting AL$ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cubase with AL$ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AL$ file still does not use the Cubase program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Cubase application as the default for handling the AL$ file.
Step 3. Update Cubase to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Cubase program, it is possible that Steinberg Cubase Compressed Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AL$ 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 AL$ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AL$ 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AL$ file. Sometimes virus-infected AL$ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of AL$ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AL$ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AL$ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the AL$ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
