What is FLF file?
The file in the FLF format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by Microsoft. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Microsoft Dynamics NAV License Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.
How to open FLF file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Dynamics NAV License Format is that FLF is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FLF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FLF 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 Dynamics NAV or Navision
The first step is to check if the computer has the Dynamics NAV or Navision program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Dynamics NAV or Navision in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FLF with Dynamics NAV or Navision. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FLF files.
Programs to open FLF file
Remember to download programs supporting FLF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dynamics NAV or Navision with FLF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FLF file still does not use the Dynamics NAV or Navision program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Dynamics NAV or Navision application as the default for handling the FLF file.
Step 3. Update Dynamics NAV or Navision to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Dynamics NAV or Navision program, it is possible that Microsoft Dynamics NAV License Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FLF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FLF file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FLF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FLF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FLF 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FLF file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FLF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FLF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FLF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FLF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
