.WLS File Extension

A WLS file is a system update file used by R-Link, a tablet included with Renault vehicles. It contains encrypted update data used by R-Link to update the system.

Renault developed the R-Link Toolbox program to help you manage products you have purchased and downloaded from the R-Link store. The program also helps you download free updates (WLS files) and place them onto an SD card or USB stick, which can be connected to the R-Link tablet to transfer and install updates.

R-Link connects to the Renault vehicle, smartphone, and the Internet. It comes with a large amount of apps installed and allows you to purchase and install more using an R-Link store account.

A WLS file may also be a spreadsheet created by 602Tab, a Microsoft Excel alternative included with Software602 602PC SUITE. It contains data that appears in a grid of horizontal rows and vertical columns when viewed in a spreadsheet program. WLS files are compatible with Microsoft Excel.

602PC SUITE was a Czech productivity suite that mimicked Microsoft applications. It contained 602Text, a text editor, and 602Tab, a spreadsheet program. 602Tab saved users' spreadsheets as WLS files. (602Text saved users' documents as .WPD files.)

In 2004, 602 Software discontinued 602PC SUITE and replaced it with 602Office, which was developed using open source code contained in Apache OpenOffice. 602Office is now also discontinued.

If you still have access to 602Tab (Windows), you can open your WLS file in that program. Otherwise, you may be able to open your WLS file in Microsoft Excel (Windows, Mac) or another spreadsheet program.
