How to open LIA file?

Step 1. Install P-CAD

Programs to open LIA file
Remember to download programs supporting LIA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of P-CAD with LIA files
If, despite the installed application, the LIA file does not start in the P-CAD 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the P-CAD application as the default for handling the LIA file.
Step 3. Update P-CAD to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the P-CAD program, it is possible that P-CAD Schematics Library requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Altium Limited. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LIA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to LIA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LIA or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LIA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LIA 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LIA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Altium Limited. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LIA 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the LIA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LIA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LIA file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
