What is UAL file?
The UAL file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is Entrust. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files.

How to open UAL file?
The main problem with Entrust Unattended Login Credentials is that the UAL file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open UAL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UAL 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 Entrust Entelligence
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Entrust Entelligence is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Entrust Entelligence into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open UAL files.
Programs to open UAL file
Remember to download programs supporting UAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Entrust Entelligence with UAL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UAL file to open in the Entrust Entelligence 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 select the desired program. 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 Entrust Entelligence application as the default for handling the UAL file.
Step 3. Update Entrust Entelligence to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Entrust Entelligence program, it is possible that Entrust Unattended Login Credentials requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Entrust website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UAL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to UAL 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our UAL file. Sometimes virus-infected UAL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UAL file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UAL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Entrust, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UAL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 UAL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the UAL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UAL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UAL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
