How to open CLE file?
The most common problem when using Icon Lock-iT Locked Format Indicator is that a specific CLE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CLE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CLE 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 Icon Lock-iT
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Icon Lock-iT is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Icon Lock-iT into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CLE files.
Programs to open CLE file
Remember to download programs supporting CLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Icon Lock-iT with CLE files
If, despite the installed application, the CLE file does not start in the Icon Lock-iT 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CLE file with the Icon Lock-iT program.
Step 3. Update Icon Lock-iT to the latest version
If, however, after binding Icon Lock-iT with Icon Lock-iT Locked Format Indicator there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Moon Valley Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CLE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CLE file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CLE file. Sometimes virus-infected CLE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CLE 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 CLE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Moon Valley Software, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CLE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CLE file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CLE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CLE file again. However, some background programs may block the CLE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
