The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BSE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.

This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BSE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BSE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BSE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
