Step 2. Create association of Jot+ Notes with JOT files
If, despite the installed application, the JOT file does not start in the Jot+ Notes application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the JOT file with the Jot+ Notes program.
Step 3. Update Jot+ Notes to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Jot+ Notes program with the Jot+ Notes Note Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JOT 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the JOT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JOT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected JOT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JOT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JOT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use King Stairs Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JOT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the JOT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JOT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JOT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
