==Third-party support==
''Packing'' of ACE files is licensed as proprietary information and only available through WinACE, while ''unpacking'' of ACE files is supported by a number of [[comparison of file archivers#Archive format support|third-party archivers]]. However, virtually all of them (the ones that support ACE 2.x format) do this by using the proprietary "Unace.dll" from e-merge GmbH. Since 2017, there is a [[BSD licenses|BSD licensed]] python module and [[Command-line_interface|CLI]] utility that supports unpacking of ACE 2.x format archives.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pypi.python.org/pypi/acefile|title=acefile: Read/test/extract ACE 1.0 and 2.0 archives in pure python|website=PyPI|access-date=2019-03-09}}</ref>
