How to open EN$ file?
The main problem with Steinberg Cubase Compressed is that the EN$ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file EN$ 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 EN$ 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 Cubase
In this case, you should first verify that the Cubase application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Cubase in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EN$ with Cubase. Below you will find a list of applications that support EN$ files.
Programs to open EN$ file
Remember to download programs supporting EN$ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cubase with EN$ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EN$ file still does not use the Cubase program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Cubase application as the default for handling the EN$ file.
Step 3. Update Cubase to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Cubase program with the Steinberg Cubase Compressed 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 Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EN$ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The EN$ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the EN$ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EN$ file. Sometimes virus-infected EN$ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of EN$ 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EN$ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EN$ 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.
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 EN$ file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EN$ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EN$ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
