Programs to open SGO file
Remember to download programs supporting SGO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VAG CAN PROFESSIONAL with SGO files
If, despite the installed application, the SGO file does not start in the VAG CAN PROFESSIONAL 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. 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 SGO file with the VAG CAN PROFESSIONAL program.
Step 3. Update VAG CAN PROFESSIONAL to the latest version
If, despite the association of the VAG CAN PROFESSIONAL program with the ECU Update file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SGO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The SGO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SGO 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SGO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SGO 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 SGO 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SGO files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SGO 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SGO to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
