Older version of DEVICEIDS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DEVICEIDS file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DEVICEIDS 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. It is best to move DEVICEIDS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 DEVICEIDS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DEVICEIDS file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
