Open a database -> click on themes - you have now 4 options -> click on selekt key - now search for your Mega Database 2017.ckn in your Mega Database 2017 folder. You have to choose in the bottom right drop down menu not opening keys but themes with the ending *.ckn.

Thanks again, but with Mega database 2015 all the operations were right when i updated that database with Chessbase 13; then i had those problems with Megadatabase 2016 and 2017 on Chessbase 13 and Chessbase 14.

By default Theme keys are turned off I believe.
Go to: File > Options > Misc > and click the box for "Use Theme Keys"

Open the all update-files with (Ctrl+0) Open dadabase. Load them. Then mark all these files and drag+drop them into your Mega 2017
