How to open PKY file?

The main problem with PockeTTY Security Certificate is that the PKY file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PKY to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PKY 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 PockeTTY

In this case, you should first verify that the PockeTTY application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PockeTTY into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file PKY.

Programs to open PKY file

Remember to download programs supporting PKY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of PockeTTY with PKY files

If, despite the installed application, the PKY file does not start in the PockeTTY 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 PKY file with the PockeTTY program.

Step 3. Update PockeTTY to the latest version

If, despite the association of the PockeTTY program with the PockeTTY Security Certificate file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the DejaVu Software, Inc website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PKY 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 PKY file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PKY or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PKY 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 PKY 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PKY file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use DejaVu Software, Inc help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PKY 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. It is best to move PKY to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PKY to close. However, some background programs may block the PKY file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
