How to open FNLF file?
An often recurring problem with Novation Automap License Format is that FNLF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FNLF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FNLF 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 Automap
In this case, you should first verify that the Automap application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Automap into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FNLF files.
Programs to open FNLF file
Remember to download programs supporting FNLF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Automap with FNLF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FNLF file still does not use the Automap program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 FNLF file with the Automap application.
Step 3. Update Automap to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Automap program, it is possible that Novation Automap License Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Novation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FNLF file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FNLF 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 FNLF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FNLF 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 FNLF 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FNLF files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Novation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FNLF 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 FNLF to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FNLF 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 FNLF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
