How to open CILX file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CILX 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 Volume Activation Management Tool
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Volume Activation Management Tool is installed on the computer.

Programs to open CILX file
Remember to download programs supporting CILX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Volume Activation Management Tool with CILX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CILX file to open in the Volume Activation Management Tool application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CILX file with the Volume Activation Management Tool application.
Step 3. Update Volume Activation Management Tool to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Volume Activation Management Tool program with the Volume Activation Management Tool Data Format 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CILX 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 CILX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CILX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CILX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CILX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CILX 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CILX 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 file CILX 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CILX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CILX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CILX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
