How to open LI5 file?
An often recurring problem with LOGINventory Data Format is that LI5 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open LI5, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LI5 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 LOGINventory
The first step is to check if the computer has the LOGINventory program installed. To do this, enter the name LOGINventory into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LI5 with LOGINventory.

Programs to open LI5 file
Remember to download programs supporting LI5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LOGINventory with LI5 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LI5 file to open in the LOGINventory application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 LOGINventory application as the default for handling the LI5 file.
Step 3. Update LOGINventory to the latest version
If, however, after binding LOGINventory with LOGINventory Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the LOGIN GmbH page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LI5 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The LI5 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LI5 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LI5 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LI5 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LI5 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LI5 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LI5 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LI5 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LI5 to close. 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.
