How to open ASCM file?
An often recurring problem with Adobe Content Server Message is that ASCM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ASCM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ASCM 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 Content Server
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Content Server program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Content Server in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ASCM with Adobe Content Server. Below is a list of programs that support the file ASCM.
Programs to open ASCM file
Remember to download programs supporting ASCM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Content Server with ASCM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ASCM file still does not use the Adobe Content Server 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 ASCM file with the Adobe Content Server application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Content Server to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe Content Server program with the Adobe Content Server Message 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 ASCM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ASCM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ASCM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ASCM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ASCM file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ASCM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ASCM 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ASCM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ASCM to close. However, some background programs may block the ASCM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
