What is PE file?

PatentEase appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is PatentEase. This was created by Inventorprise.
How to open PE file?
An often recurring problem with PatentEase is that PE is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open PE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PE 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 PatentEase
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PatentEase is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PatentEase in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PE with PatentEase. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PE files.
Programs to open PE file
Remember to download programs supporting PE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PatentEase with PE files
If, despite the installed application, the PE file does not start in the PatentEase application, you must create a file 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. 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 PE file with the PatentEase program.
Step 3. Update PatentEase to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the PatentEase program, it is possible that PatentEase requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Inventorprise website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PE 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PE file. However, remember that not every infected PE 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 PE file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Inventorprise, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PE 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
