How to open C3L file?

The main problem with CommView License Format is that the C3L file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open C3L, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C3L 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 CommView

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CommView is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CommView into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file C3L.

Programs to open C3L file

Remember to download programs supporting C3L files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of CommView with C3L files

If, despite the installed application, the C3L file does not start in the CommView application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 CommView application as the default for handling the C3L file.

Step 3. Update CommView to the latest version

If, despite the association of the CommView program with the CommView License 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 TamoSoft website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C3L file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to C3L files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our C3L file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover C3L 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 C3L files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged C3L files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted C3L 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the C3L 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file C3L to close. However, some background programs may block the C3L file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
