CuteFTP version 9.0 Release Notes INSTALLATION Please review the system requirements prior to installation: CuteFTP: http://help.globalscape.com/help/cuteftp9/System_Requirements.

htm Downloads are available from the following location: http://www.globalscape.com/support/reg.aspx The CuteFTP 9 installer makes an upgrade intuitive. As long as you are upgrading from CuteFTP 8.3.3 or later, then the regular installer will automatically upgrade the existing installation settings. If you upgrade from any other version (CuteFTP 7 or older CuteFTP 8) then CuteFTP 9 installs as a new application. This means that if you do not want your old CuteFTP installation, you will need to uninstall it. The "upgrade" will not uninstall it. Before upgrading, as a precaution, you should backup (save a copy of) the old application files and settings files, just in case you want to go back to the previous version. ________________________________________________________________________________ ACTIVATION AND REGISTRATION Until you activate the product, when you close the interface, an Internet browse r window will open to a purchase page. After the trial period expires, CuteFTP mus t be activated to continue using it. To activate, open CuteFTP, then click Enter Serial Number (if CuteFTP is already open, click Help > Enter a Serial Number), then follow the prompts in the wizard.) If you do not have a serial number, click Buy Now. Activation (registration) serial numbers are validated over the Internet by the Globalscape registration and activation server (dbregistration.globalscape.com via port 80). After a registration serial number is validated locally, the software assigns a unique number to your computer based on system information. That number and your registration information are then transmitted to our regist ration and activation server for processing, and a registry key is automatically merged into your Windows registry. If Internet access is not available, the automated process will fail, and you wi ll be presented with three options, which are detailed below. If necessary, first c lick "Configure HTTP Proxy" and configure the proxy connection settings. OPTION 1. Retry online registration - Automated Internet registration an d activation will be attempted once more. Make sure you have a connection to the Internet already established. Port 80 must be open to inbound and outbound traff ic.

OPTION 2. Launch the Web registration form - Select this option only if the first option fails. Follow the prompts to register and activate via a form on ou r Web site. If you need to access the online Web registration and activation form from a different computer, browse to http://www.globalscape.com/register/. Follow the instructions on the Web page until you are presented with a registry key fil e (.REG file) then refer to the registry key file instructions below. OPTION 3. E-mail a registration request to our support staff You should only choose this option if the two options above fail. To continue, click Next, then click OK. The required details will be copied to the Clipboard. The Registration Wizard will attempt to start your default email client and open a new email message with the required details already in the body of the message . If unsuccessful, open a new email message and address it to: manreg@globalscape. com. For the Subject line, type "Registration Request" and then paste the contents of the Clipboard into the body of the email and send it. It is important that you d o not modify the subject line or body text of the message in any way. (Note: Regul ar or non-conforming email sent to manreg@globalscape.com will not be delivered.) The Customer Service team will respond with the necessary registry key file as soon as possible, usually within one business day.
