How to open SCCEF file?
An often recurring problem with StreamCryptor Chunked Encrypted Format is that SCCEF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SCCEF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SCCEF 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 StreamCryptor
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that StreamCryptor is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing StreamCryptor 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 SCCEF with StreamCryptor. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SCCEF files.
Programs to open SCCEF file
Remember to download programs supporting SCCEF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StreamCryptor with SCCEF files
If, despite the installed application, the SCCEF file does not start in the StreamCryptor 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 SCCEF file with the StreamCryptor program.
Step 3. Update StreamCryptor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the StreamCryptor program with the StreamCryptor Chunked Encrypted Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the bitbeans website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SCCEF 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:
The SCCEF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SCCEF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SCCEF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SCCEF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SCCEF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 option of recovering data from damaged SCCEF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SCCEF 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SCCEF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SCCEF to close. However, some background programs may block the SCCEF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
