Step 2. Create association of FileSECURE Reader with AZS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AZS file still does not use the FileSECURE Reader program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AZS file with the FileSECURE Reader program.

Step 3. Update FileSECURE Reader to the latest version

If, despite the association of the FileSECURE Reader program with the AirZip FormatSECURE Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AZS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AZS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AZS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AZS file. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AZS file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AZS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the AZS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AZS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AZS 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.
