The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FZA 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 AutoDesSys

Programs to open FZA file
Remember to download programs supporting FZA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoDesSys with FZA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FZA file still does not use the AutoDesSys program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FZA file with the AutoDesSys application.
Step 3. Update AutoDesSys to the latest version
If, however, after binding AutoDesSys with Form•Z Autosave Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FZA 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 FZA file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FZA or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FZA 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 FZA file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FZA files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FZA 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FZA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FZA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FZA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
