How to open TKN file?

The main problem with Liberty BASIC Application Distribution is that the TKN file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TKN, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TKN 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 Liberty BASIC

In this case, you should first verify that the Liberty BASIC application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Liberty BASIC into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TKN files.

Programs to open TKN file

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

Step 2. Create association of Liberty BASIC with TKN files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TKN file to open in the Liberty BASIC application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 TKN file with the Liberty BASIC program.

Step 3. Update Liberty BASIC to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Liberty BASIC program, it is possible that Liberty BASIC Application Distribution requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Shoptalk Systems page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TKN 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:

The TKN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TKN file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TKN file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TKN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TKN 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TKN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Shoptalk Systems
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TKN 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. 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 TKN 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. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
