How to open KMN file?

The most common problem when using Keyman Developer Source is that a specific KMN is not associated with the program. This causes the file KMN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KMN 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 Keyman Developer

In this case, you should first verify that the Keyman Developer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Keyman Developer 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 KMN with Keyman Developer. Below is a list of programs that support the file KMN.

Programs to open KMN file

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

Step 2. Create association of Keyman Developer with KMN files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KMN file still does not use the Keyman Developer program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 Keyman Developer application as the default for handling the KMN file.

Step 3. Update Keyman Developer to the latest version

If, however, after binding Keyman Developer with Keyman Developer Source there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Tavultesoft website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to KMN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KMN or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KMN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KMN file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KMN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Tavultesoft
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KMN 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move KMN to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KMN file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
