How to open EFL9 file?

The most common problem when using ESRI License Information Format is that a specific EFL9 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open EFL9, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EFL9 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 ArcGIS

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ArcGIS is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ArcGIS into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EFL9 with ArcGIS. Below you will find a list of applications that support EFL9 files.

Step 2. Create association of ArcGIS with EFL9 files

If, despite the installed application, the EFL9 file does not start in the ArcGIS application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ArcGIS application as the default for handling the EFL9 file.

Step 3. Update ArcGIS to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ArcGIS program, it is possible that ESRI License Information Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Esri website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EFL9 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to EFL9 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EFL9 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected EFL9 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 EFL9 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EFL9 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EFL9 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the EFL9 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EFL9 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EFL9 file again. However, some background programs may block the EFL9 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
