Can't open the P7E file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open P7E files as well as a list of programs that support P7E files.
P7E file extension
The P7E file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the P7E files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the P7E file on each system platform.
What is P7E file?
The file in the P7E format belongs to the Encoded Files category. Additionally, the Encoded Files category contains 236 of other files. SecureSoft Encrypted appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The File Decryptor application is recommended to open the file. It was released by SC Secure Soft SRL. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. You can use File Encryptor in case File Decryptor cannot be used.
How to open P7E file?
The most common problem when using SecureSoft Encrypted is that a specific P7E is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that P7E files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P7E 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 File Decryptor
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that File Decryptor is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing File Decryptor into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file P7E with File Decryptor. Below is a list of programs that support the file P7E.
Programs to open P7E file
Remember to download programs supporting P7E files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of File Decryptor with P7E files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P7E file still does not use the File Decryptor program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 P7E file with the File Decryptor application.
Step 3. Update File Decryptor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the File Decryptor program with the SecureSoft Encrypted file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SC Secure Soft SRL page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P7E file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to P7E files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file P7E or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected P7E 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 P7E files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged P7E files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file P7E 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 P7E file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 P7E file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the P7E file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
