The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RS7 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 LightTools
In this case, you should first verify that the LightTools application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LightTools into the operating system search engine.

Step 2. Create association of LightTools with RS7 files
If, despite the installed application, the RS7 file does not start in the LightTools 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RS7 file with the LightTools program.
Step 3. Update LightTools to the latest version
If, however, after binding LightTools with LightTools Radiant Source Model there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Synopsys, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RS7 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RS7 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RS7 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RS7 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 RS7 files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RS7 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Synopsys, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RS7 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RS7 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RS7 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RS7 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
