How to open IWL file?
The main problem with WebSite X5 License is that the IWL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that IWL 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 IWL 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 Website X5
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Website X5 is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Website X5 into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IWL with Website X5. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IWL files.
Programs to open IWL file
Remember to download programs supporting IWL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Website X5 with IWL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IWL file to open in the Website X5 application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Website X5 application as the default for handling the IWL file.
Step 3. Update Website X5 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Website X5 program with the WebSite X5 License 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 Incomedia page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IWL 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IWL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IWL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IWL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IWL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IWL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Incomedia help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IWL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move IWL to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IWL to close. However, some background programs may block the IWL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
