Convert SSQ to another file type

To convert your SSQ file to another format, you need DS License Server or other System software.

Convert a file to SSQ

To convert other file formats to the "License Key File" file type, you need software like DS License Server or a similar tool.

About SSQ files

The .SSQ file extension typically represents a specialized Software License Activation File generated for Dassault Systèmes products like SolidWorks or CATIA. These files are strictly formatted for the DS License Server and contain encrypted authorization keys, expiration dates, and hardware identifiers. A major difficulty for IT administrators is that these files are binary or encrypted text, meaning they cannot be simply opened in Microsoft Word to view license details without specialized administration tools. They are proprietary and essentially "locked" to the vendor's ecosystem.

For a different subset of users, an .SSQ file is a legacy Squash! Game Data file used on the Amiga platform, specifically containing compressed audio or level data. These files are functionally obsolete and incompatible with modern media players like VLC.

Conversion Recommendations:

For License Auditing: Convert or view the file as TXT to attempt to read header metadata, though payload data will remain encrypted. This helps verify creation dates without installing the full license server.
For Amiga Audio: If the file is from the game Squash!, convert the raw audio data to WAV or MP3 for preservation and playback on modern systems.
For Database Queries: If related to Statinfo, export the query logic to standard SQL or CSV if the original software permits export.

Convert.Guru analyzes your SSQ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
