File association with the application to support it is carried out by the file extension. If, for example a .sdf file is associated with one of the applications from the list, then when you double click on the file, the operating system will run this application and open the .sdf file.

In addition, you can find on the site addresses of all required software for .sdf files. We try to provide addresses to the sites of manufacturers, so that appropriate programs could be downloaded from the most reliable source.
