How to open DNP file?
An often recurring problem with DRM Digital Rights Management is that DNP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DNP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DNP 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 Windows Media Player
The first step is to check if the computer has the Windows Media Player program installed. This can be achieved by typing Windows Media Player into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DNP with Windows Media Player. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DNP files.

Remember to download programs supporting DNP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Media Player with DNP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DNP file still does not use the Windows Media Player program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Windows Media Player application as the default for handling the DNP file.
Step 3. Update Windows Media Player to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Windows Media Player program with the DRM Digital Rights Management 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 DNP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The DNP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DNP 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DNP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DNP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DNP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DNP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DNP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DNP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DNP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
