Opening .uea files without Protector Suite

[Paradoxica1]

Hi everybody, any help at all with this issue will be appreciated, because I've hit a wall with Google.

I had a Sager Notebook with a fingerprint reader, and I created an encrypted archive with some of my important documents. It has a .uea extension, and as far as I can tell, it's only able to be opened with Protector Suite. The problem is, my laptop shorted, and though I recovered all of my documents, the .uea file is now unopenable. My replacement laptop does not have fingerprint scanner, and I cannot for life of me find a download of Protector Suite that will run on Windows 8.

I need a way to either convert the .uea file to some format that can be opened with software that will run on Windows 8, or I need some way to open the archive. I haven't found satisfactory answers elsewhere so I'm hoping I can find some here.

Thanks in advance for your time

You will need Protector Suite and the encryption keys (you did back up the keys, right?) in order to open those files. Without either you will never again be able to access the data within.

I realize that, which is why I was asking about a place to find Protector Suite for Windows 8. Given that the laptop shorted without warning, nothing was backed up. However, everything that was on the harddrive is accessible.

Your .uea files can only be opened by Protector Suite, which is no longer produced, or supported. Your *only* hope is to get that hard drive to boot on an identical laptop, or repair the failed laptop. No other options.

I was afraid of that, thought I'd give it a shot though. Thank you.
