How to open LGC file?
The main problem with SimpleK Database Format is that the LGC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file LGC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LGC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SimpleK
The first step is to check if the computer has the SimpleK program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SimpleK in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file LGC.

Step 2. Create association of SimpleK with LGC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LGC file still does not use the SimpleK program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SimpleK application as the default for handling the LGC file.
Step 3. Update SimpleK to the latest version
If, however, after binding SimpleK with SimpleK Database Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Prosystech inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LGC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The LGC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LGC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LGC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LGC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LGC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LGC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Prosystech
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LGC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. 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 LGC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LGC file again. However, some background programs may block the LGC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
