How to open AKS file?

An often recurring problem with Aksharamala Keymap Binary is that AKS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that AKS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AKS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Aksharamala

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Aksharamala is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Aksharamala in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support AKS files.

Programs to open AKS file

Remember to download programs supporting AKS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Aksharamala with AKS files

If, despite the installed application, the AKS file does not start in the Aksharamala application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AKS file with the Aksharamala program.

Step 3. Update Aksharamala to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Aksharamala program, it is possible that Aksharamala Keymap Binary requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Srinivas Annam page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AKS 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AKS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AKS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AKS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AKS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AKS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Srinivas Annam, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AKS 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the AKS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AKS file again. However, some background programs may block the AKS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
