The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IC4 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 2. Create association of SADiE with IC4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IC4 file to open in the SADiE 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SADiE application as the default for handling the IC4 file.
Step 3. Update SADiE to the latest version
If, however, after binding SADiE with SADiE Interchange Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Prism Media Products Limited page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IC4 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IC4 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IC4 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected IC4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IC4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IC4 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Prism Media Products Limited
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IC4 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. If possible, you can try to move the IC4 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IC4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IC4 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IC4 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
