How to open ASO file?

Programs to open ASO file

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

Step 2. Create association of Sage Accpac Extended Enterprise Suite with ASO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ASO file still does not use the Sage Accpac Extended Enterprise Suite program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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 Sage Accpac Extended Enterprise Suite application as the default for handling the ASO file.

Step 3. Update Sage Accpac Extended Enterprise Suite to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Sage Accpac Extended Enterprise Suite program, it is possible that Sage Accpac Simply ASO Import requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the The Sage Group plc website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ASO file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ASO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ASO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ASO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ASO 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ASO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting The Sage Group plc, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ASO 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ASO to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ASO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ASO file again. However, some background programs may block the ASO file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
