The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated.

The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SLS3 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SLS3 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SLS3 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.

When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SLS3 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 SLS3 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SLS3 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
