How to open LMA file?
The main problem with Learning Mobile Author (LMA) Project is that the LMA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file LMA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LMA 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 Learning Mobile Author (LMA)
In this case, you should first verify that the Learning Mobile Author (LMA) application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Learning Mobile Author (LMA) into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file LMA.
Programs to open LMA file
Remember to download programs supporting LMA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Learning Mobile Author (LMA) with LMA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LMA file still does not use the Learning Mobile Author (LMA) program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Learning Mobile Author (LMA) application as the default for handling the LMA file.
Step 3. Update Learning Mobile Author (LMA) to the latest version
If, however, after binding Learning Mobile Author (LMA) with Learning Mobile Author (LMA) Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Hot Lava Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LMA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The LMA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LMA file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LMA file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected LMA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LMA file. 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.
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 ability to automatically repair LMA file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Hot Lava Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LMA 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. If possible, you can try to move the LMA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LMA 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 LMA file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
