Problem

You get the following error when you run a scheduled task:

Class is not licensed for use (0x80040112)

Cause

The error occurs when the license check fails. This can happen under several circumstances:

• SmartFTP runs under a different user than the one that was used when SmartFTP was activated with the serial
• SmartFTP is unable to reach the activation server

Solution

• Configure and run the scheduled task under the exact same user as the one you are running SmartFTP.
• Do NOT check the [ ] Run with highest privileges option in the task properties
• Do NOT run SmartFTP as Administrator
• After you have applied the serial, open the Windows Task Manager (taskmgr.exe) and kill the background SmartFTP.exe instances.
• Make sure that SmartFTP is able to reach the activation server at Host: www.smartftp.com Protocol: HTTPS Port: 443
