The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CQE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.

Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CQE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CQE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
