How to open AUZ file?
An often recurring problem with Ableton Authorization Format is that AUZ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that AUZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AUZ 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 Ableton Live
In this case, you should first verify that the Ableton Live application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Ableton Live in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AUZ with Ableton Live. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AUZ files.
Programs to open AUZ file
Remember to download programs supporting AUZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ableton Live with AUZ files
If, despite the installed application, the AUZ file does not start in the Ableton Live application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AUZ file with the Ableton Live application.
Step 3. Update Ableton Live to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ableton Live program with the Ableton Authorization Format 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 Ableton AG page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AUZ 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the AUZ 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AUZ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AUZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AUZ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AUZ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ableton
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AUZ 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. Copying the AUZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AUZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AUZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
