Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AEPKEY file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AEPKEY file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AEPKEY or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected AEPKEY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AEPKEY files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AEPKEY files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AEPKEY except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the AEPKEY file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AEPKEY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AEPKEY to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
