ID-software: saving diagnostics files

The ID user support helps you resolve issues that arise while using the ID-card and mobile-ID. The easiest way to contact us is through the Contact ID-helpline form located on the id.ee website – you will then receive answers to your questions as written instructions.

The more detailed the information the ID user support has on your computer and its devices, the easier the instructions we can send you. Along with describing the issue you have in as much detail as possible, it is worthwhile to attach your computer's diagnostics files to your help form. Saving the diagnostics file is easy and you have nothing to worry about; they don’t contain any personal information, only information on the software and the versions of devices you use.

      There are two simple ways to do this – by copying the contents of the report manually or by clicking the ‘Save diagnostics’ link on the bottom edge of the diagnostics window. Save the diagnostics file in a location that can be easily located on your computer. The diagnostics report is saved in .txt format.
    4. Add the diagnostics file to your problem description.
      If you contact ID-helpline, make sure to add the diagnostics file to your e-mail or web form message.
