CuteFTP Professional User s Guide 

3.  Create a new registry key on the target machine at the following location:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\GlobalSCAPE\CuteFTP 

Professional\Index

4.  Create a new string value in the key above and insert the serial number as the data 

value. 

String Value = "1"                   Data = "[Your 

Serial Number]" 

5.  When the transfer engine is called for the first time, it retrieves this value (the serial 

number) and uses it to complete the registration with GlobalSCAPE. 

Note: 

The target machine must have access to the Internet. If no Internet 

access is available, the registration process may fail and  disable the TE. 

Note: 

The TE is automatically registered if it is installed onto a computer with a 

registered copy of CuteFTP Professional. Keep in mind that the TE must 

be the same version as CuteFTP. The TE from CuteFTP Professional 7.0 

is NOT automatically registered if it is installed on a computer with a 

registered copy of CuteFTP version 3.0. 

Registration   Manual Registration 

If you have physical access to the target machine, or you wish to register the copy installed 

on your developer machine, do the following: 

1.  Right click on the TE icon in the systray to display the context menu (while 

running, the TE is represented by a yellow folder icon with up and down arrows) 

2. Select 

Enter Serial Number. 

3.  Paste or type the Serial Number. 

4. Select 

Register.  

A message should appear declaring that the registration was successful. The TE can now be 

used on that computer without interruptions.  

If you receive an error message, verify that the serial number was typed correctly and that 

the number of licensed machines didn t exceed the licenses purchased. If all this is correct 

and you are still unable to register, contact our support department and provide them with 

the exact details of the error received. 

COM 

REGISTRATION OF THE 

TE (

FOR DISTRIBUTION

) 

As a typical COM Component, the TE must be registered as such on the target system. The 

TE will automatically perform COM Registration if it has been manually executed prior to a 

script or application instantiating the TE Object.  

The preferred method (for distributed versions of the TE on end user s systems) is to set the 

appropriate registry entries before trying to call the TE.
