Symantec Livereg was a registration component included with many Symantec antivirus and other security products. A .livereg file supports online registration and records session or registration data used by the associated product.
These files belong to the registration system of the Symantec product that created them and are not normally intended for direct user editing. They are primarily associated with older Windows versions of Symantec software.
There is normally no reason to open a .livereg file directly. On Windows, allow the compatible Symantec product or its Livereg component to handle the file; it is not a document meant for viewing in a general-purpose application.
If Windows does not recognize the file, installing or restoring the original Symantec product is more appropriate than choosing a text editor or renaming the extension.
A .livereg file has no useful standard conversion because it contains Symantec registration or session data, not content intended for export to another format.
When moving to another installation, use the original Symantec product's registration or activation procedure rather than trying to convert the file.
