How to open ALTOVA_LICENSES file?

The main problem with Altova Licence Data Format is that the ALTOVA_LICENSES file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ALTOVA_LICENSES files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ALTOVA_LICENSES 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 XML Spy

The first step is to check if the computer has the XML Spy program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XML Spy in it. 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 ALTOVA_LICENSES files.

Step 2. Create association of XML Spy with ALTOVA_LICENSES files

If, despite the installed application, the ALTOVA_LICENSES file does not start in the XML Spy application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ALTOVA_LICENSES file with the XML Spy application.

Step 3. Update XML Spy to the latest version

If, despite the association of the XML Spy program with the Altova Licence Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Altova website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ALTOVA_LICENSES 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. This suggests truncating the ALTOVA_LICENSES file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ALTOVA_LICENSES file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ALTOVA_LICENSES files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ALTOVA_LICENSES files changes over time. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ALTOVA_LICENSES files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ALTOVA_LICENSES 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ALTOVA_LICENSES file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ALTOVA_LICENSES file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
