How to open KC file?

The most common problem when using KeyKit Collection Format is that a specific KC is not associated with the program. This causes the file KC 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 KC 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 KeyKit

The first step is to check if the computer has the KeyKit program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name KeyKit in it.

Programs to open KC file

Remember to download programs supporting KC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of KeyKit with KC files

If, despite the installed application, the KC file does not start in the KeyKit 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the KC file with the KeyKit application.

Step 3. Update KeyKit to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the KeyKit program, it is possible that KeyKit Collection Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KC file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to KC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 KC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of KC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 KC files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KC 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. It is best to move KC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the KC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KC file again. However, some background programs may block the KC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
