How to open ROLF file?
The most common problem when using Relux Open Luminaire Format Document Format is that a specific ROLF is not associated with the program. This causes the file ROLF 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 ROLF 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 Relux Professional
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Relux Professional is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Relux Professional 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 ROLF with Relux Professional.

Programs to open ROLF file
Remember to download programs supporting ROLF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Relux Professional with ROLF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ROLF file to open in the Relux Professional application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ROLF file with the Relux Professional program.
Step 3. Update Relux Professional to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Relux Professional program with the Relux Open Luminaire Format Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Relux Informatik AG website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ROLF file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ROLF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ROLF file. Sometimes virus-infected ROLF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ROLF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ROLF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ROLF 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ROLF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ROLF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ROLF file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
