How to open AOT file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AOT 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.

Programs to open AOT file
Remember to download programs supporting AOT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Novell ZENworks Suite with AOT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AOT file still does not use the Novell ZENworks Suite program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AOT file with the Novell ZENworks Suite program.
Step 3. Update Novell ZENworks Suite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Novell ZENworks Suite program with the ZenWorks SnAppShot Application Binary Object Template file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Novell, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AOT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to AOT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 AOT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AOT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AOT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AOT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AOT 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 AOT file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AOT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AOT file again. However, some background programs may block the AOT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
