How to open FWKEY file?
The main problem with FlexiWrite Document Lock Format is that the FWKEY file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FWKEY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FWKEY 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 FlexiWrite
In this case, you should first verify that the FlexiWrite application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FlexiWrite in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support FWKEY files.
Programs to open FWKEY file
Remember to download programs supporting FWKEY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FlexiWrite with FWKEY files
If, despite the installed application, the FWKEY file does not start in the FlexiWrite application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 FWKEY file with the FlexiWrite program.
Step 3. Update FlexiWrite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FlexiWrite program with the FlexiWrite Document Lock Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Samuel Green website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FWKEY file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FWKEY file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FWKEY file. Sometimes virus-infected FWKEY 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 FWKEY files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FWKEY files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FWKEY files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FWKEY file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FWKEY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FWKEY file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
