How to open CDEM file?

The main problem with CompeGPS Land Landscape is that the CDEM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CDEM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CDEM 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 CompeGPS Land

In this case, you should first verify that the CompeGPS Land application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CompeGPS Land into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support CDEM files.

Programs to open CDEM file

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

Step 2. Create association of CompeGPS Land with CDEM files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CDEM file still does not use the CompeGPS Land program, it means no 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CDEM file with the CompeGPS Land application.

Step 3. Update CompeGPS Land to the latest version

If, despite the association of the CompeGPS Land program with the CompeGPS Land Landscape file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CompeGPS TEAM S.L. website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The CDEM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CDEM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CDEM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CDEM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CDEM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CDEM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CompeGPS TEAM S.L.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CDEM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CDEM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CDEM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CDEM file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
