What is AUC file?
The file with the extension AUC is the Database Files file type. The author of this format is Jordysoft.com. In addition to this file, the Database Files category includes 403 related files. AUC Database is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Advanced URL Catalog to handle this file. This is a program created by Jordysoft.com.
How to open AUC file?
The most common problem when using AUC Database is that a specific AUC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that AUC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AUC 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 Advanced URL Catalog
In this case, you should first verify that the Advanced URL Catalog application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Advanced URL Catalog in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file AUC.
Programs to open AUC file
Remember to download programs supporting AUC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Advanced URL Catalog with AUC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AUC file still does not use the Advanced URL Catalog program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Advanced URL Catalog application as the default for handling the AUC file.
Step 3. Update Advanced URL Catalog to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Advanced URL Catalog program with the AUC Database file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Jordysoft.com page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AUC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AUC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AUC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AUC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AUC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AUC 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AUC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Jordysoft.com, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AUC 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AUC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AUC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AUC file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
