Extract text from software licenses (LICX)
To convert LICX licenses to another format, you need Kaspersky Anti-Virus or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "License Key File" file type, you need software like Kaspersky Anti-Virus or a similar tool.
A .LICX file acts as a license container for two distinct use cases: activating Kaspersky Lab security software and tracking third-party components in Microsoft Visual Studio.
For Kaspersky Anti-Virus, the .LICX file contains an encrypted cryptographic signature that unlocks premium software features. The primary disadvantage of this format is its proprietary, locked nature. You cannot view the contents without the original software, and editing even a single byte will corrupt the digital license, rendering it permanently invalid.
In .NET development, Microsoft Visual Studio automatically generates a licenses.licx file when you drag a licensed third-party control onto a form. This text-based file tracks assembly versions. While easier to read, it often causes rigid build errors when migrating projects or upgrading component versions, frustrating developers who must manually clear or rebuild the file to proceed.
Standard online converters fail to process .LICX files because they mistake them for generic documents rather than proprietary digital signatures or specific compilation trackers. Converting a Kaspersky .LICX to formats like PDF or DOCX is technically useless. However, extracting readable strings from a Visual Studio file to TXT is a common requirement.
Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. convert.guru will inspect the binary or text headers to determine whether it is an encrypted Kaspersky signature or a Visual Studio component list. If our analysis detects a supported underlying plain text format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LICX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted LIC, CCH, LICENSES and LFX files.
If you want to convert LICX file to JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO, RS or SWIFT, you can use Kaspersky Anti-Virus or similar software from the "Software License Activation" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to LICX, try Kaspersky Anti-Virus or another comparable tool in the "Software License Activation" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LICX converter.
