How to open SCV file?

An often recurring problem with ScanVec CASmate Sign Format is that SCV is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SCV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SCV 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 CASmate

The first step is to check if the computer has the CASmate program installed. To do this, enter the name CASmate into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SCV with CASmate.

Step 2. Create association of CASmate with SCV files

If, despite the installed application, the SCV file does not start in the CASmate application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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 SCV file with the CASmate program.

Step 3. Update CASmate to the latest version

If, however, after binding CASmate with ScanVec CASmate Sign Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SCV file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The SCV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SCV file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SCV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SCV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SCV 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 SCV files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SCV 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SCV to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SCV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
