The fnlf file extension is associated with Novation Automap, control software for Novation controllers. An fnlf file stores user license information used by the software.
fnlf files are also used by Focusrite plug-in applications, including the Scarlett Plug-in Suite. Focusrite owns Novation. Automap is available for Microsoft Windows, while the Scarlett Plug-in Suite is available for multiple platforms. The format is intended for internal license data rather than general data exchange.
An fnlf file is normally handled automatically by the software that issued it. Use Novation Automap on Microsoft Windows or the Scarlett Plug-in Suite on a supported platform; it is not intended to be opened or edited as a document.
There is no practical conversion format for an fnlf file. It contains software license data, so it should be retained in its original form and managed through Novation Automap or the relevant Scarlett Plug-in Suite application.
