How to open DLK file?
An often recurring problem with Xprotect License Code List is that DLK is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DLK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DLK 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 Milestone XProtect
The first step is to check if the computer has the Milestone XProtect program installed. This can be achieved by typing Milestone XProtect into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open DLK file
Remember to download programs supporting DLK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Milestone XProtect with DLK files
If, despite the installed application, the DLK file does not start in the Milestone XProtect application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Milestone XProtect application as the default for handling the DLK file.
Step 3. Update Milestone XProtect to the latest version
If, however, after binding Milestone XProtect with Xprotect License Code List there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Milestone Systems website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DLK 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DLK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DLK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DLK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DLK files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DLK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Milestone Systems help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DLK 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 DLK 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DLK 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.
