This is a program created by Image Line Software BVBA.
How to open FLKEY file?
An often recurring problem with Fruity Loops Studio Data Format is that FLKEY is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FLKEY 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 FLKEY 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 FL Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the FL Studio program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FL Studio in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file FLKEY.
Programs to open FLKEY file
Remember to download programs supporting FLKEY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FL Studio with FLKEY files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FLKEY file to open in the FL Studio application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FLKEY file with the FL Studio program.
Step 3. Update FL Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FL Studio program with the Fruity Loops Studio Data Format 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 Image Line Software BVBA website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FLKEY 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 FLKEY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FLKEY file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FLKEY file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FLKEY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FLKEY 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FLKEY files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FLKEY 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.
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 FLKEY file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 FLKEY file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
