How to open KNN file?
The main problem with Clarion Database Key is that the KNN file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that KNN files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KNN 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 Clarion
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Clarion is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Clarion into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KNN with Clarion. Below is a list of programs that support the file KNN.
Programs to open KNN file
Remember to download programs supporting KNN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Clarion with KNN files
If, despite the installed application, the KNN file does not start in the Clarion application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KNN file with the Clarion program.
Step 3. Update Clarion to the latest version
If, however, after binding Clarion with Clarion Database Key there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SoftVelocity website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KNN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to KNN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KNN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected KNN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KNN file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KNN files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SoftVelocity, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KNN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move KNN 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KNN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KNN file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
