How to open KMS file?
An often recurring problem with Correlate Solution Topic is that KMS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file KMS 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 KMS 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 Correlate
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Correlate is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Correlate in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file KMS.
Programs to open KMS file
Remember to download programs supporting KMS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Correlate with KMS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KMS file to open in the Correlate application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KMS file with the Correlate program.
Step 3. Update Correlate to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Correlate program with the Correlate Solution Topic 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 Correlate website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KMS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The KMS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KMS file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KMS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KMS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the KMS 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KMS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Correlate help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KMS 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move KMS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
