What is an SSQ file

SSQ files mostly belong to CATIA / DS License Server. SSQ files come in a few distinct types. The most common use – almost half of all occurrences – is as a license file for Dassault Systèmes software. This file works with the DS License Server and is often used in the CATIA environment to control license settings.
For example, one variant stores CATIA software settings that help manage software access and functionality. You can find more information on the official website at Dassault Systèmes.
Other SSQ files serve different purposes. They can be saved query files used by Statinfo applications to hold query criteria for data searches.
A less common usage refers to files described either as compressed audio or as an SQLLite database file. This variant may store data using compression techniques and possibly embed a small internal database. More details on a similar usage can be gathered from the Exotica Wiki.

• Primary: License file for Dassault Systèmes (CATIA settings).
• Secondary: Saved query file for Statinfo.
• Alternate: Compressed audio or SQLite based file.

FilExt.com tips: Use the designated software to open each variant. For the license or settings file, use DS License Server/CATIA. For the saved query, use Statinfo software. For compressed audio or database style files, a media or database utility might help view the content.

SSQ file format:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured.
