If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The LCS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LCS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 LCS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LCS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LCS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 LCS files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Sage Group plc
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LCS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the LCS file to another location.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LCS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LCS file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
