How to open HSKAT file?
An often recurring problem with Knowledge Master Data Format is that HSKAT is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open HSKAT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HSKAT 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 Knowledge Master
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Knowledge Master is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Knowledge Master into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HSKAT with Knowledge Master. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HSKAT files.
Programs to open HSKAT file
Remember to download programs supporting HSKAT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Knowledge Master with HSKAT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HSKAT file to open in the Knowledge Master application, but you can set it manually. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HSKAT file with the Knowledge Master program.
Step 3. Update Knowledge Master to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Knowledge Master program with the Knowledge Master Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Knowledge Master Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HSKAT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HSKAT file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HSKAT file. However, remember that not every infected HSKAT 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 HSKAT 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HSKAT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HSKAT 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 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 HSKAT 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HSKAT file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
