How to open RNT file?

An often recurring problem with EdgeCAM Licensing Data is that RNT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RNT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RNT 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 EdgeCAM

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

Programs to open RNT file

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

Step 2. Create association of EdgeCAM with RNT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RNT file still does not use the EdgeCAM program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RNT file with the EdgeCAM program.

Step 3. Update EdgeCAM to the latest version

If, despite the association of the EdgeCAM program with the EdgeCAM Licensing Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Planit page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RNT 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 RNT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RNT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RNT 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RNT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Planit help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RNT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RNT file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RNT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
