ABB License Key Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is RobotStudio.

How to open XLKF file?

An often recurring problem with ABB License Key Format is that XLKF is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XLKF 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 XLKF 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 RobotStudio

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RobotStudio is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RobotStudio into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file XLKF.

Programs to open XLKF file

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

Step 2. Create association of RobotStudio with XLKF files

If, despite the installed application, the XLKF file does not start in the RobotStudio application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RobotStudio application as the default for handling the XLKF file.

Step 3. Update RobotStudio to the latest version

If, however, after binding RobotStudio with ABB License Key Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ABB Group page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XLKF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XLKF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XLKF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XLKF files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XLKF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XLKF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XLKF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLKF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
