How to open PKI file?

An often recurring problem with Entrust Public Key Infrastructure Format Format is that PKI is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PKI 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 PKI 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 LibVirt

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LibVirt is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LibVirt into the operating system search engine. 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 PKI.

Programs to open PKI file

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

Step 2. Create association of LibVirt with PKI files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PKI file to open in the LibVirt application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 PKI file with the LibVirt program.

Step 3. Update LibVirt to the latest version

If, despite the association of the LibVirt program with the Entrust Public Key Infrastructure Format Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The PKI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PKI file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PKI file. However, remember that not every infected PKI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PKI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PKI file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PKI except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PKI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 PKI file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
