What is CEP file?
The CEP file has been categorized as Database Files. Additionally, the Database Files category contains 403 of other files. CostOS Estimating Project Database Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use CostOS Estimating to handle this file. This is a program created by Nomitech.
How to open CEP file?
The most common problem when using CostOS Estimating Project Database Format is that a specific CEP is not associated with the program. This causes the file CEP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CEP 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 CostOS Estimating
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CostOS Estimating is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CostOS Estimating in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CEP with CostOS Estimating. Below is a list of programs that support the file CEP.
Programs to open CEP file
Remember to download programs supporting CEP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CostOS Estimating with CEP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CEP file still does not use the CostOS Estimating program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 CostOS Estimating application as the default for handling the CEP file.
Step 3. Update CostOS Estimating to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CostOS Estimating program with the CostOS Estimating Project Database 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 Nomitech website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CEP 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. Usually this applies to CEP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 CEP file. Sometimes virus-infected CEP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CEP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CEP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CEP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move CEP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CEP file again. However, some background programs may block the CEP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
