Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]
Nature of Operations [Text Block]	1. Nature of Business and Corporate Structure We provide secure information exchange capabilities for enterprises and consumers through the development and distribution of software, delivery of managed and hosted solutions, and provisioning of associated services. Our solution portfolio facilitates transmission of critical information such as financial data, medical records, customer files, vendor files, personnel files, transaction activity, and other similar documents between diverse and geographically separated network infrastructures while supporting a range of information protection approaches to meet privacy and other security requirements. In addition to enabling secure, flexible transmission of critical information using servers, desktop and notebook computers, and a wide range of network-enabled mobile devices, our products also provide customers with the ability to monitor and audit file transfer activities. Our primary product is Enhanced File Transfer, or EFT. We have other products that complement our EFT product. In June 2017, we introduced a data integration product that we planned to sell under the brand name Kenetix. We licensed the technology for this product from a third party. This product is a cloud-based, integration-as-a-service, or iPaaS, solution used to connect applications, microservices, application program interfaces (or API’s), data and processes within and between organizations. We have experienced issues with the third-party technology and have determined to suspend marketing of the product as we evaluate options and determine whether the licensor can effectively address the issues. We sell other products that are synergistic to our EFT platform including Mail Express, WAFS, and CuteFTP. Throughout these notes, unless otherwise noted, our references to 2017 and 2016 refer to the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. This board sets GAAP, which we follow in preparing financial statements that report our financial position, results of operations, and sources and uses of cash. We also follow the reporting regulations of the SEC. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of our financial statements. It is possible the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of our financial position and results of operations. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of GlobalSCAPE, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively referred to as “GlobalSCAPE”, the “Company” or “we”) are prepared in conformity with GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Revenue Recognition We develop, market and sell software products and services. We recognize revenue from a transaction when the following conditions are met: · Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. · Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. · The amount of the sale is fixed or determinable. · Collection of the sale amount is reasonably assured. For a sale transaction not meeting any one of these four criteria, we defer recognition of revenue related to that transaction until all the criteria are met. We earn the majority of our software license revenue from software products sold under perpetual software license agreements. At the time our customers purchase these products, they typically also purchase an M&S contract. These transactions are multiple element software sales for which we assess the presence of vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the undelivered elements to determine the portion of these sales to recognize as revenue upon delivery of the software product and the portion of these sales to record as deferred revenue at the time the product is delivered. We amortize the deferred revenue component to revenue in future periods on a straight-line method as we deliver the related future services to the customer. For transactions, if any, for which we cannot establish VSOE of the fair value of the undelivered elements, we initially record the entire transaction as deferred revenue and amortize that amount to revenue in future periods as we deliver the related future services to the customer. We provide services under M&S contracts with terms generally ranging from one to three years. We require up-front payment of our M&S fee in an amount that covers the entire term of the agreement. We record as deferred revenue amounts due or paid that relate to future periods during which we will provide the M&S service. Deferred revenue related to services we will deliver within one year is presented as a current liability while deferred revenue related to services that we will deliver more than one year into the future is presented as a non-current liability. We reduce deferred revenue and recognize revenue ratably in future periods on a straight-line method as we deliver the M&S service. For our products licensed and delivered under a SaaS transaction on a monthly or other periodic subscription basis, we recognize subscription revenue, including initial setup fees, on a monthly basis ratably over the contractual term of the customer contract as we deliver our products and services. Amounts paid prior to this revenue recognition are presented as deferred revenue until earned. We provide professional services to our customers consisting primarily of software installation support, operations support and training. We recognize revenue from these services as they are completed and accepted by our customers. We collect sales tax on many of our sales. We do not include sales tax collected in our revenue. We record it as a liability payable to taxing authorities. We will apply the principles under ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued May 2014), · We have assessed the effect of the principles relative to our business and the manner in which we recognize revenue. We have concluded that its application will not have a material effect on the amounts or timing of revenue we report in future periods. · We believe the application of the principles will result in a change in the manner in which we record sales commission expenses related to M&S contracts. Currently, we record the full amount of the sales commission paid on the full value of an M&S contract as an expense on the inception date of the M&S contract. After implementing ASU 2014-09, we will record that commission expense ratably over the term of the M&S contract. · We will adopt the new principles using the modified retrospective method. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Short Term Investments Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit held with financial institutions with contractual maturity dates less than one year from the balance sheet date. We intend and have the ability to hold these investments until their maturity dates and therefore account for them as held-to-maturity. These certificates of deposit are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value of these investments. Long-Term Investments Long-term investments consist of certificates of deposit held with financial institutions with contractual maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. We have the intent and ability to hold these investments until their maturity dates and therefore account for them as held-to-maturity. These certificates of deposit are stated at amortized cost, which approximates the fair value of these investments. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is comprised of furniture and fixtures, software, computer equipment and leasehold improvements which are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Furniture, fixtures and equipment have a useful life of five to seven years, computer equipment and software have a useful life of three years and leasehold improvements have a useful life that is the shorter of the term of the lease under which the improvements were made or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized. On at least an annual basis, we test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level using December 31 as the measurement date. We operate as a single reporting unit. When testing goodwill, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. In performing this qualitative assessment, we assess events and circumstances relevant to us including, but not limited to: • Macroeconomic conditions. • Industry and market considerations. • Cost factors and trends for labor and other expenses of operating our business. • Our overall financial performance and outlook for the future. • Trends in the quoted market value and trading of our common stock. In considering these and other factors, we consider the extent to which any adverse events and circumstances identified could affect the comparison of our reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying amount. We place more weight on events and circumstances that most affect our reporting unit’s fair value or the carrying amount of our net assets. We consider positive and mitigating events and circumstances that may affect our determination of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We evaluate, on the basis of the weight of the evidence, the significance of all identified events and circumstances in the context of determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of these qualitative events and circumstances, we determine it is not more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we conclude there is no impairment of goodwill and perform no further testing in accordance with GAAP. If we conclude otherwise, we proceed with performing the first step, and if necessary, the second step, of the two-step goodwill impairment test prescribed by GAAP. As of December 31, 2017, after assessing the totality of the relevant events and circumstances, we determined it not more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Accordingly, we concluded there was no impairment of goodwill as of that date. There have been no material events or changes in circumstances since that time indicating that the carrying amount of goodwill may exceed its fair market value and that interim testing needed to be performed. Capitalized Software Development Costs When we complete research and development for a software product and have in place a program plan and a detail program design or a working model of that software product, we capitalize production costs incurred for that software product from that point forward until it is ready for general release to the public. Thereafter, we amortize capitalized software production costs to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of that product, which is generally three years. We periodically assess the carrying value of capitalized software development costs and our method of amortizing them relative to our estimates of realizability through sales of products in the marketplace. Cost of revenue Cost of revenue consists of expenses associated with the production, delivery and support of the products and services we sell. Cost of license revenue consists primarily of amortization of the capitalized software development costs we incur when producing our software products, royalties we pay to use software developed by others for certain features of our products, and fees we pay to third parties who provide services supporting our SaaS solutions. Cost of M&S revenue and cost of professional services revenue consist primarily of salaries and related costs of our employees and third parties we use to deliver these services. Research and Development We expense research and development costs as incurred. Advertising Expense We expense advertising costs as incurred as a component of our sales and marketing expenses. Advertising expense was approximately $1.9 million in both 2017 and 2016. Share-Based Compensation We measure the cost of share-based payment transactions at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. We recognize this cost as an expense ratably over the recipient’s requisite service period during which that award vests or becomes unrestricted. For stock option awards, we estimate their fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model considering the following factors: • We estimate expected volatility based on historical volatility of our common stock. • We use primarily the simplified method to derive an expected term which represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. We use this method because our options are plain-vanilla options, and we believe our historical option exercise experience is not adequately indicative of our future expectations. • We base the risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. • We estimate a dividend yield based on our historical and expected future dividend payments. For restricted stock awards, we use the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date as the fair value of the award. Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. We record deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, as measured by the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are carried on the balance sheet with the presumption that they will be realizable in future periods in which we generate taxable income. We assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. Based on this assessment, we provide any necessary valuation allowance on our consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding increase in the tax provision on our statement of operations. Any valuation allowances we establish are determined based upon a number of assumptions, judgments, and estimates, including forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and the relative proportions of revenue and income before taxes in the various domestic jurisdictions in which we operate. We account for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, we evaluate the tax position to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination. If the tax position is deemed “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, we assess the tax position to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of the benefit we recognize is the largest amount that we believe has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits represent tax positions for which reserves have been established. We record the effects of new tax legislation in the period in which it is signed into law. Earnings Per Share We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Awards of non-vested restricted stock and options are considered potentially dilutive common shares for the purpose of computing earnings per common share. We apply the treasury stock method to non-vested options under which the assumed proceeds include the amount the employee must pay to exercise the option plus the amount of unrecognized cost attributable to future periods less any expected tax benefits. Changes in Accounting Methods, Reclassifications and Revisions As part of our ongoing enhancement and refinement of our financial reporting to fairly present our results of operations and financial position, we may make changes from time-to-time in accounting methods and in the classification and presentation of our business activities in our consolidated financial statements. To ensure comparability between periods, we revise previous period consolidated financial statements presented to conform them to the method of presentation in our current period consolidated financial statements. If the changes increase or decrease previously reported amounts of revenue or expenses, we adjust retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest period presented for the cumulative effect, if any, on that balance. If these changes affect our financial statements for previously reported interim periods not presented herein, we present revised consolidated financial statements for those periods when they are reported in the future. In 2017, we refined our classification of revenue from certain services we provide such that we now classify those activities as professional services revenue instead of M&S revenue. We have applied that reclassification to our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for 2016 which had the effect of decreasing previously reported M&S revenue and increasing previously reported professional services revenue by $113,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Recent accounting pronouncements ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (issued September 2017) – ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (issued January 2017) - ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash (issued November 2016) – ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (issued June 2016) - ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (issued June 2016) ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (issued March 2016) – This standard also permits an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. Forfeitures may be either estimated (as has been the requirement in the past) or recognized when they occur. We elected to continue estimating forfeitures consistent with our existing practices thereby resulting in no change to our application of GAAP for this aspect of computing share-based compensation. ASU 2016-02, Leases (issued February 2016) - ASU 2015-17, Income Tax: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (issued November 2015) ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued May 2014) We have assessed the effect of ASU 2014-09 on the amount and timing of revenue we expect to recognize from our business activities in 2018 and later. We do not expect there to be material differences in the amount and timing of revenue we recognize from similar business activities in future periods determined by applying ASU 2014-09 as compared to revenue we would have otherwise recognized by applying GAAP as it existed prior to 2018. We have determined that the application of ASU 2014-09 will have a material effect on the timing of our recording of expenses resulting from the incremental costs we incur to obtain a contract with a customer to deliver goods and services. These incremental costs consist primarily of sales commissions paid to our sales people and royalties on certain of our products paid to third parties. For years ended December 31, 2017, and earlier, we recorded the full amount of the sales commission and royalties paid on the full value of an M&S or SaaS contract as an expense on the inception date of the M&S contract. Under ASU 2014-09, we will account for such costs we incur in 2018 and later as follows: · If these costs are associated with products and services for which we recognize revenue at a point in time (primarily sales of perpetual software licenses and professional services), we will expense these costs in full at the time we recognize that revenue. · If these costs are associated with services for which we recognize revenue over time (primarily sales of M&S and SaaS subscriptions) for which we believe it is likely that the contract for those services will be renewed for additional terms in the future, provided we deem these costs to be recoverable, we will record these costs as deferred expense asset and amortize that cost to expense as follows: o For the portion of the cost that we determine benefits us primarily only over the term of the specific underlying contract currently in force (such as the term of an M&S contract), we will recognize expense ratably each month over that term. o For the portion of the cost that we determine benefits us over an overall customer relationship that is likely to span period of time that is longer than an initial contract term (for example, an M&S contract renewed for multiple terms in the future), we will recognize expense ratably monthly over the estimated life of the customer relationship. Our application of ASU 2014-09 to incremental costs we incur to obtain a contract with a customer will result in us recording, as an asset as of January 1, 2018, a deferred expense of approximately $1.2 million applicable to contracts with customers in effect as of that date. We previously reported this amount as an expense in our financial statements for periods ending on and before December 31, 2017. We estimate that we will amortize this amount to expense at the rate of approximately $186,000 per quarter beginning in 2018. The incremental costs we incur to obtain contracts with customers during 2018 and later years, and the amount of such costs we record as a deferred expense and amortize to expense in subsequent periods, will depend upon the nature and scope of our future business activities, the nature and mix of the products and services we sell, the compensation plans we have in place for our sales people, and the royalty arrangements we enter into with third parties.

Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block]	3. Accounts Receivable, Net We bill our customers and issue them an invoice when we have delivered our goods or services to them. In addition, when our customers agree to purchase or renew M&S services, we bill and invoice our customers at that time, which could be before the date we begin delivering those services. In that event, we exclude from accounts receivable (and from the related deferred revenue, see Note 6) the invoices we have issued for which the M&S services commencement date is in the future and which have not been paid by the customer as of the date of our financial statements. We continually assess the collectability of our accounts receivable.

Deferred Revenue Disclosure [Abstract]
Deferred Revenue Disclosure [Text Block]	6. Deferred Revenue As described in Note 3 regarding accounts receivable, when our customers agree to purchase or renew M&S services, we bill and invoice our customers at that time which could be before the date we begin delivering those services. In that event, we exclude from deferred revenue (and from the related accounts receivable) the invoices we have issued for which the M&S services commencement date is in the future and which have not been paid by the customer as of the date of our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we determine our deferred revenue as follows ($ in thousands): December 31 2017 2016 Total invoiced for M&S contracts for which revenue will be recognized in future periods $ 17,491 $ 17,826 Less: Unpaid invoices at December 31 relating to M&S agreements with a start date subsequent to the balance sheet date (441 ) (381 ) Total deferred revenue at December 31 $ 17,050 $ 17,445 Deferred revenue, current portion $ 13,315 $ 13,655 Deferred revenue, non-current portion 3,735 3,790 Total deferred revenue $ 17,050 $ 17,445

Commitments and Contingencies Contractual Obligations We have an obligation under a contract with a third party to make future minimum prepaid royalty payments in the amount of $800,000 in September 2018 and $1.2 million in November 2019. Leases We have an operating lease related to our office space. Minimum rental commitments under operating leases at December 31, 2017 are as follows ($ in thousands): Year Ending December 31, 2018 $ 360 2019 120 Total $ 480 Rent expense under operating leases was $347,000 in 2017 and 2016. We had a deferred rent liability of $18,000 at December 31, 2017, which we amortize to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the applicable lease. Severance Payments We have agreements with key personnel that provide for severance payments to them in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in those agreements, and their employment is terminated in connection with that change in control. In such event, our aggregate severance payments to those employees would be approximately $1.9 million. Legal and Regulatory Matters As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 15, 2017, on August 9, 2017, a securities class action complaint, Anthony Giovagnoli v. GlobalSCAPE, Inc. inter alia On October 20, 2017, the Company received a demand letter from a stockholder seeking the inspection of books and records of the Company pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Section 220 Demand”). This stockholder’s stated purpose for the demand is, inter alia The Board has established a special litigation committee (“Special Litigation Committee”) consisting of Thomas Hicks and Frank Morgan to analyze and investigate claims that could potentially be asserted in stockholder derivative litigation related to facts connected to the claims and allegations asserted in the litigation related to the Restatement and the Section 220 Demand (the “Potential Derivative Litigation”). The Special Litigation Committee will determine what actions are appropriate and in the best interests of the Company, and decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pursue, dismiss, or consensually resolve any claims that may be asserted in the Potential Derivative Litigation. The Board determined that each member of the Special Litigation Committee is disinterested and independent with respect to the Potential Derivative Litigation. Among other things, the Special Litigation Committee has the power to retain counsel and advisors, as appropriate, to assist it in the investigation, to gather and review relevant documents relating to the claims, to interview persons who may have knowledge of the relevant information, to prepare a report setting forth its conclusions and recommended course of action with respect to the Potential Derivative Litigation, and to take any actions, including, without limitation, directing the filing and prosecution of litigation on behalf of the Company, as the Special Litigation Committee in its sole discretion deems to be in the best interests of the Company in connection with the Potential Derivative Litigation. The Special Litigation Committee’s findings and determinations shall be final and not subject to review by the Board and in all respects shall be binding upon the Company. As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 16, 2018, the Fort Worth, Texas Regional Office of the SEC has opened a formal investigation of issues relating to the Restatement, with which the Company is cooperating fully. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the duration, scope, result or related costs associated with the SEC’s investigation. The Company is also unable to predict what, if any, action may be taken by the SEC, or what penalties or remedial actions the SEC may seek. Any determination by the SEC that the Company’s activities were not in compliance with existing laws or regulations, however, could result in the imposition of fines, penalties, disgorgement, equitable relief, or other losses, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. On May 31, 2018, the Company was served with a subpoena issued by a grand jury sitting in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (the “Grand Jury Subpoena”). The Grand Jury Subpoena requests all documents and emails relating to the Company’s investigation of the potential improper recognition of software license revenue. The Company intends to fully cooperate with the Grand Jury Subpoena and related investigation being conducted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas (the “U.S. Attorney’s Investigation”). At this time, the Company is unable to predict the duration, scope, result or related costs of the U.S. Attorney’s Investigation. The Company is also unable to predict what, if any, further action may be taken in connection with the Grand Jury Subpoena and the U.S. Attorney’s Investigation, or what, if any, penalties, sanctions or remedial actions may be sought. Any determination by the U.S. Attorney’s office that the Company’s activities were not in compliance with existing laws or regulations, however, could result in the imposition of fines, penalties, disgorgement, equitable relief, or other losses, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	8. Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Share-Based Compensation We have stock-based compensation plans under which we have granted, and may grant in the future, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Our share-based compensation expense was as follows ($ in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 Share-based compensation expense $ 1,566 $ 1,014 Stock Options We have granted stock options to our officers and employees under long-term equity incentive plans that originated in 2000, 2010 and 2016. During 2017, we granted stock options only under the 2016 plan. During 2016, we granted options only under the 2016 plan and the 2010 plan. Provisions and characteristics of the options granted to our officers and employees under our long-term equity incentive plans include the following: · The exercise price, term and other conditions applicable to each stock option or stock award granted are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. · The exercise price of stock options is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share of our stock at market close on that date. · Stock options we issue generally become exercisable ratably over a three-year period, expire ten years from the date of grant, and are exercisable for a period of ninety days after the end of employment. · Upon exercise of a stock option, we issue new shares from the shares of common stock we are authorized to issue. We currently issue stock-based awards to our officers and employees only under the 2016 plan which authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock for stock-based incentives including stock options and restricted stock awards. As of December 31, 2017, stock-based incentives for up to 4,178,500 shares remained available for issuance in the future under this plan. We have not issued any restricted stock under any of these plans. Our stock option activity has been as follows: Weighted Weighted Average Average Remaining Aggregate Number of Exercise Contractual Intrinsic Shares Price Terms Value (Years) (000’s) Outstanding at December 31, 2015 2,091,325 $ 2.45 6.09 $ 3,277 2016 Granted 1,257,300 $ 3.58 Forfeitures (404,175 ) $ 3.14 Exercised (537,445 ) $ 2.08 Outstanding at December 31, 2016 2,407,005 $ 3.00 7.19 $ 2,574 2017 Granted 975,000 $ 3.98 Forfeitures (600,995 ) $ 3.35 Exercised (195,800 ) $ 2.41 Outstanding at December 31, 2017 2,585,210 $ 3.34 6.77 $ 1,015 Exercisable at December 31, 2017 1,124,109 $ 2.77 4.30 $ 956 Additional information about our stock options is as follows: 2017 2016 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $ 1.67 $ 1.64 Intrinsic value of options exercised during the year $ 351,893 $ 880,064 Cash received from stock options exercised during the year $ 471,789 $ 1,118,177 Number of options that vested during the year 528,734 348,116 Fair value of options that vested during the year $ 850,044 $ 528,725 Unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options at end of year $ 1,751,077 $ 1,768,344 Weighted average years over which non-vested option expense will be recognized 1.93 2.17 As of December 31, 2017 Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Weighted Average Weighted Weighted Underlying Remaining Average Number of Average Range of Shares Contractual Exercise Underlying Exercise Exercise Prices Outstanding Life Price Shares Price $ 0.85 - $1.43 54,700 2.36 $ 1.05 54,700 $ 1.05 $ 1.47 - $2.32 388,070 2.23 $ 1.86 386,710 $ 1.86 $ 2.34 - $3.52 857,940 6.93 $ 3.29 441,259 $ 3.17 $ 3.53 - $4.21 1,277,500 8.22 $ 3.90 241,440 $ 3.86 $ 5.44 - $5.44 7,000 9.55 $ 5.44 0 $ - Total options 2,585,210 1,124,109 We used the following assumptions to determine compensation expense for our stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 Expected volatility 49 % 55 % Expected annual dividend yield 1.5 % 1.5 % Risk free rate of return 1.95 % 1.45 % Expected option term (years) 6.00 6.00 Due to the Investigation, during a portion of 2017 and as of December 31, 2017, we had in place a moratorium on issuing shares of our common stock in connection with stock option exercises. In September and October 2017, for stock options that were scheduled to expire during the six months ended December 31, 2017, and were not exercisable due to the moratorium, we modified those stock options to extend their expiration date to December 31, 2017. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $255,000 for these modifications with respect to which there was no associated cash payment. None of those options were exercised prior to December 31, 2017, their expiration dates were not extended beyond that date, and they were allowed to expire. As consideration for certain of those expired options, we made cash payments to the option holders and recorded expense totaling $78,000 which was determined based upon the difference between the quoted market price of our common stock as of December 31, 2017, and the exercise price of the stock options. Restricted Stock Awards Our 2015 Non-Employee Directors Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Directors Plan”) provides for the issuance of either stock options or restricted stock awards for up to 500,000 shares of our common stock. Provisions and characteristics of this plan include the following: · The exercise price, term and other conditions applicable to each stock option or stock award granted are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. · Restricted stock awards are initially issued as restricted shares with a legend restricting transferability of the shares until the recipient satisfies the vesting provision of the award, which is generally continuing service for one year subsequent to the date of the award, after which time the restrictive legend is removed from the shares. · Restricted shares participate in dividend payments and may be voted. · As of December 31, 2017, stock based incentives for up to 260,000 shares remained available for issuance in the future under this plan. Our restricted stock awards activity has been as follows: Total Grant Date Fair Value of Number of Fair Value Shares That Shares Per Share Vested Restricted Shares Outstanding at December 31, 2015 80,000 $ 3.34 2016 Shares granted with restrictions 80,000 $ 3.31 Shares vested and restrictions removed (80,000 ) $ 3.34 $ 276,000 Restricted Shares Outstanding at December 31, 2016 80,000 $ 3.31 2017 Shares granted with restrictions 80,000 $ 4.24 Shares vested and restrictions removed (80,000 ) $ 3.31 $ 320,000 Restricted Shares Outstanding at December 31, 2017 80,000 $ 4.24 We have not issued any stock options under the 2015 Directors Plan. The 2015 Directors Plan replaced the 2006 Non-Employee Directors Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). We will not issue any additional stock or stock options under the 2006 Plan. At December 31, 2017, we had $120,481 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards. We expect to recognize that expense in the future over a weighted-average period of four months.

This legislation significantly changes U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates. The Tax Reform Act permanently reduces the U.S. corporate tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate effective January 1, 2018. The main impact of the Tax Reform Act on our 2017 consolidated financial statements is the re-measurement of our deferred tax balances from the old corporate tax rate to the new corporate tax rate. Because of the decrease in the U.S. corporate tax rate, we recorded deferred tax expense of $355,000 due to this re-measurement. We have no material or provisional items for which the accounting of the effects of the Tax Reform Act on our consolidated financial statements is incomplete. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. The components of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows (amounts in thousands): As of December 31, 2017 2016 Deferred tax assets: Deferred revenue $ 775 $ 1,229 Capital loss carryforward - 1,099 Share-based compensation 351 578 Compensation and benefits 111 278 Texas franchise tax R&D credit 185 153 Prepaid expenses not deducted for tax 84 - Allowance for doubtful accounts 58 114 Net operating loss carryforward 20 91 State deferred tax asset 61 44 Accrued expenses not deducted for tax 9 12 Valuation allowance (185 ) (1,252 ) Total deferred tax assets 1,469 2,346 Deferred tax liabilities: Intangible assets 805 1,289 Depreciation 13 7 Total gross deferred tax liabilities 818 1,296 Net deferred tax assets $ 651 $ 1,050 In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We have concluded it is more-likely-than-not that our ability to generate future taxable income will allow us to realize those deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2017, our capital loss carryforward of $3,231,000 has expired. Accordingly, the deferred tax asset related to this item has been reversed. Additionally, we reversed the related valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2017, we have federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards of $93,000 available to offset future federal taxable income. We expect to fully utilize this net operating loss in 2018. The net operating loss expires in 2031. As of December 31, 2017, we have Texas Research and Development tax credit carryforwards of $185,000. We believe it uncertain that we will have sufficient Texas Franchise Tax in the future to support utilization of these carryforward credits. Accordingly, have provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of these credit carryforwards. These carryforwards expire in years 2034 through 2038. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefit is as follows (amounts in thousands): 2017 2016 Balance, beginning of year $ 121 $ 90 Increases for tax positions related to the current year 22 22 Increases for tax positions related to prior years 15 9 Balance, end of year $ 158 $ 121 Our unrecognized tax benefit is related to research and development credits taken on our U.S. income tax returns from 2011 to 2017 and the uncertainty related to the realization of a portion of those credits based on prior experience. We believe it reasonably possible that we will not recognize any of our unrecognized tax benefits at least through December 31, 2017. If we realized and recognized any of our unrecognized tax benefits such benefits would reduce our effective tax rate in the year of recognition. We record interest and penalty expense related to income taxes as interest and other expense, respectively. At December 31, 2017, no interest or penalties have been or are required to be accrued. Our open tax years are 2011 and forward for our federal income tax returns and 2013 and forward for most of our state income tax returns. We do not file, and are not required to file, any foreign income tax returns.

As a result, the financial information disclosed herein represents all of the material financial information related to our principal operating segment. Revenues derived from customers and partners located in the United States accounted for approximately 75% and 77% of our total revenues for 2017 and 2016, respectively. The remaining revenues were from customers and partners located in foreign countries, and each individual foreign country accounted for less than 10% of total revenues in each of those years.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration Risk Disclosure [Text Block]	14. Concentration of Business Volume and Credit Risk Our cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments are on deposit in banks and are collectively insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for $750,000. Our balances in excess of that amount are not insured. We may withdraw our cash deposits upon demand but in doing so may forfeit certain earned but unpaid interest on certain certificates of deposit if we redeem them prior to their maturity date. We maintain our cash with multiple financial institutions of reputable credit to minimize our risk of loss. We generally provide credit to our customers under typical invoice payment terms (for example, net 30) that gives rise to trade accounts receivable from those customers. We do not require collateral from our customers. We perform ongoing evaluations of the credit risk related to offering these payment terms. We provide an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on our historical collections experience and the profile of our accounts receivable. In order to leverage the resources of third parties, we make our products available for purchase by end users through third-party channel resellers even though those end users can also purchase those products directly from us. During 2017 and 2016, we earned approximately 14% of our revenue from such sales through our largest, third-party, channel reseller. In 2017 and 2016, approximately 25% and 23%, respectively, of our revenues resulted from sales to customers in foreign countries. We received substantially all of our revenues from foreign customers in U.S. dollars resulting in limited exchange rate risks. Our foreign sales are concentrated mostly in Canada, Western Europe and Latin America. We use software developers outside the United States to perform a portion of the coding for the development and maintenance of our software products. If we were unable to continue using these developers because of political or economic instability, we may have difficulty finding comparably skilled developers or may have to pay considerably more for the same work, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Accounting Policies, by Policy

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. This board sets GAAP, which we follow in preparing financial statements that report our financial position, results of operations, and sources and uses of cash. We also follow the reporting regulations of the SEC. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of our financial statements. It is possible the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of our financial position and results of operations.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of GlobalSCAPE, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively referred to as “GlobalSCAPE”, the “Company” or “we”) are prepared in conformity with GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition We develop, market and sell software products and services. We recognize revenue from a transaction when the following conditions are met: · Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. · Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. · The amount of the sale is fixed or determinable. · Collection of the sale amount is reasonably assured. For a sale transaction not meeting any one of these four criteria, we defer recognition of revenue related to that transaction until all the criteria are met. We earn the majority of our software license revenue from software products sold under perpetual software license agreements. At the time our customers purchase these products, they typically also purchase an M&S contract. These transactions are multiple element software sales for which we assess the presence of vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the undelivered elements to determine the portion of these sales to recognize as revenue upon delivery of the software product and the portion of these sales to record as deferred revenue at the time the product is delivered. We amortize the deferred revenue component to revenue in future periods on a straight-line method as we deliver the related future services to the customer. For transactions, if any, for which we cannot establish VSOE of the fair value of the undelivered elements, we initially record the entire transaction as deferred revenue and amortize that amount to revenue in future periods as we deliver the related future services to the customer. We provide services under M&S contracts with terms generally ranging from one to three years. We require up-front payment of our M&S fee in an amount that covers the entire term of the agreement. We record as deferred revenue amounts due or paid that relate to future periods during which we will provide the M&S service. Deferred revenue related to services we will deliver within one year is presented as a current liability while deferred revenue related to services that we will deliver more than one year into the future is presented as a non-current liability. We reduce deferred revenue and recognize revenue ratably in future periods on a straight-line method as we deliver the M&S service. For our products licensed and delivered under a SaaS transaction on a monthly or other periodic subscription basis, we recognize subscription revenue, including initial setup fees, on a monthly basis ratably over the contractual term of the customer contract as we deliver our products and services. Amounts paid prior to this revenue recognition are presented as deferred revenue until earned. We provide professional services to our customers consisting primarily of software installation support, operations support and training. We recognize revenue from these services as they are completed and accepted by our customers. We collect sales tax on many of our sales. We do not include sales tax collected in our revenue. We record it as a liability payable to taxing authorities. We will apply the principles under ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued May 2014), · We have assessed the effect of the principles relative to our business and the manner in which we recognize revenue. We have concluded that its application will not have a material effect on the amounts or timing of revenue we report in future periods. · We believe the application of the principles will result in a change in the manner in which we record sales commission expenses related to M&S contracts. Currently, we record the full amount of the sales commission paid on the full value of an M&S contract as an expense on the inception date of the M&S contract. After implementing ASU 2014-09, we will record that commission expense ratably over the term of the M&S contract. · We will adopt the new principles using the modified retrospective method.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Sort Term Investments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Short Term Investments Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit held with financial institutions with contractual maturity dates less than one year from the balance sheet date. We intend and have the ability to hold these investments until their maturity dates and therefore account for them as held-to-maturity. These certificates of deposit are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value of these investments.
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Long-Term Investments Long-term investments consist of certificates of deposit held with financial institutions with contractual maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. We have the intent and ability to hold these investments until their maturity dates and therefore account for them as held-to-maturity. These certificates of deposit are stated at amortized cost, which approximates the fair value of these investments.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property and Equipment Property and equipment is comprised of furniture and fixtures, software, computer equipment and leasehold improvements which are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Furniture, fixtures and equipment have a useful life of five to seven years, computer equipment and software have a useful life of three years and leasehold improvements have a useful life that is the shorter of the term of the lease under which the improvements were made or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized. On at least an annual basis, we test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level using December 31 as the measurement date. We operate as a single reporting unit. When testing goodwill, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. In performing this qualitative assessment, we assess events and circumstances relevant to us including, but not limited to: • Macroeconomic conditions. • Industry and market considerations. • Cost factors and trends for labor and other expenses of operating our business. • Our overall financial performance and outlook for the future. • Trends in the quoted market value and trading of our common stock. In considering these and other factors, we consider the extent to which any adverse events and circumstances identified could affect the comparison of our reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying amount. We place more weight on events and circumstances that most affect our reporting unit’s fair value or the carrying amount of our net assets. We consider positive and mitigating events and circumstances that may affect our determination of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We evaluate, on the basis of the weight of the evidence, the significance of all identified events and circumstances in the context of determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of these qualitative events and circumstances, we determine it is not more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we conclude there is no impairment of goodwill and perform no further testing in accordance with GAAP. If we conclude otherwise, we proceed with performing the first step, and if necessary, the second step, of the two-step goodwill impairment test prescribed by GAAP. As of December 31, 2017, after assessing the totality of the relevant events and circumstances, we determined it not more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Accordingly, we concluded there was no impairment of goodwill as of that date. There have been no material events or changes in circumstances since that time indicating that the carrying amount of goodwill may exceed its fair market value and that interim testing needed to be performed.
Research, Development, and Computer Software, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Capitalized Software Development Costs When we complete research and development for a software product and have in place a program plan and a detail program design or a working model of that software product, we capitalize production costs incurred for that software product from that point forward until it is ready for general release to the public. Thereafter, we amortize capitalized software production costs to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of that product, which is generally three years. We periodically assess the carrying value of capitalized software development costs and our method of amortizing them relative to our estimates of realizability through sales of products in the marketplace.
Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cost of revenue Cost of revenue consists of expenses associated with the production, delivery and support of the products and services we sell. Cost of license revenue consists primarily of amortization of the capitalized software development costs we incur when producing our software products, royalties we pay to use software developed by others for certain features of our products, and fees we pay to third parties who provide services supporting our SaaS solutions. Cost of M&S revenue and cost of professional services revenue consist primarily of salaries and related costs of our employees and third parties we use to deliver these services.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Research and Development We expense research and development costs as incurred.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Advertising Expense We expense advertising costs as incurred as a component of our sales and marketing expenses. Advertising expense was approximately $1.9 million in both 2017 and 2016.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Share-Based Compensation We measure the cost of share-based payment transactions at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. We recognize this cost as an expense ratably over the recipient’s requisite service period during which that award vests or becomes unrestricted. For stock option awards, we estimate their fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model considering the following factors: • We estimate expected volatility based on historical volatility of our common stock. • We use primarily the simplified method to derive an expected term which represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. We use this method because our options are plain-vanilla options, and we believe our historical option exercise experience is not adequately indicative of our future expectations. • We base the risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. • We estimate a dividend yield based on our historical and expected future dividend payments. For restricted stock awards, we use the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date as the fair value of the award.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. We record deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, as measured by the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are carried on the balance sheet with the presumption that they will be realizable in future periods in which we generate taxable income. We assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. Based on this assessment, we provide any necessary valuation allowance on our consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding increase in the tax provision on our statement of operations. Any valuation allowances we establish are determined based upon a number of assumptions, judgments, and estimates, including forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and the relative proportions of revenue and income before taxes in the various domestic jurisdictions in which we operate. We account for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, we evaluate the tax position to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination. If the tax position is deemed “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, we assess the tax position to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of the benefit we recognize is the largest amount that we believe has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits represent tax positions for which reserves have been established. We record the effects of new tax legislation in the period in which it is signed into law.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Earnings Per Share We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Awards of non-vested restricted stock and options are considered potentially dilutive common shares for the purpose of computing earnings per common share. We apply the treasury stock method to non-vested options under which the assumed proceeds include the amount the employee must pay to exercise the option plus the amount of unrecognized cost attributable to future periods less any expected tax benefits.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Changes in Accounting Methods, Reclassifications and Revisions As part of our ongoing enhancement and refinement of our financial reporting to fairly present our results of operations and financial position, we may make changes from time-to-time in accounting methods and in the classification and presentation of our business activities in our consolidated financial statements. To ensure comparability between periods, we revise previous period consolidated financial statements presented to conform them to the method of presentation in our current period consolidated financial statements. If the changes increase or decrease previously reported amounts of revenue or expenses, we adjust retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest period presented for the cumulative effect, if any, on that balance. If these changes affect our financial statements for previously reported interim periods not presented herein, we present revised consolidated financial statements for those periods when they are reported in the future. In 2017, we refined our classification of revenue from certain services we provide such that we now classify those activities as professional services revenue instead of M&S revenue. We have applied that reclassification to our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for 2016 which had the effect of decreasing previously reported M&S revenue and increasing previously reported professional services revenue by $113,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent accounting pronouncements ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (issued September 2017) – ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (issued January 2017) - ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash (issued November 2016) – ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (issued June 2016) - ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (issued June 2016) ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (issued March 2016) – This standard also permits an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. Forfeitures may be either estimated (as has been the requirement in the past) or recognized when they occur. We elected to continue estimating forfeitures consistent with our existing practices thereby resulting in no change to our application of GAAP for this aspect of computing share-based compensation. ASU 2016-02, Leases (issued February 2016) - ASU 2015-17, Income Tax: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (issued November 2015) ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued May 2014) We have assessed the effect of ASU 2014-09 on the amount and timing of revenue we expect to recognize from our business activities in 2018 and later. We do not expect there to be material differences in the amount and timing of revenue we recognize from similar business activities in future periods determined by applying ASU 2014-09 as compared to revenue we would have otherwise recognized by applying GAAP as it existed prior to 2018. We have determined that the application of ASU 2014-09 will have a material effect on the timing of our recording of expenses resulting from the incremental costs we incur to obtain a contract with a customer to deliver goods and services. These incremental costs consist primarily of sales commissions paid to our sales people and royalties on certain of our products paid to third parties. For years ended December 31, 2017, and earlier, we recorded the full amount of the sales commission and royalties paid on the full value of an M&S or SaaS contract as an expense on the inception date of the M&S contract. Under ASU 2014-09, we will account for such costs we incur in 2018 and later as follows: · If these costs are associated with products and services for which we recognize revenue at a point in time (primarily sales of perpetual software licenses and professional services), we will expense these costs in full at the time we recognize that revenue. · If these costs are associated with services for which we recognize revenue over time (primarily sales of M&S and SaaS subscriptions) for which we believe it is likely that the contract for those services will be renewed for additional terms in the future, provided we deem these costs to be recoverable, we will record these costs as deferred expense asset and amortize that cost to expense as follows: o For the portion of the cost that we determine benefits us primarily only over the term of the specific underlying contract currently in force (such as the term of an M&S contract), we will recognize expense ratably each month over that term. o For the portion of the cost that we determine benefits us over an overall customer relationship that is likely to span period of time that is longer than an initial contract term (for example, an M&S contract renewed for multiple terms in the future), we will recognize expense ratably monthly over the estimated life of the customer relationship. Our application of ASU 2014-09 to incremental costs we incur to obtain a contract with a customer will result in us recording, as an asset as of January 1, 2018, a deferred expense of approximately $1.2 million applicable to contracts with customers in effect as of that date. We previously reported this amount as an expense in our financial statements for periods ending on and before December 31, 2017. We estimate that we will amortize this amount to expense at the rate of approximately $186,000 per quarter beginning in 2018. The incremental costs we incur to obtain contracts with customers during 2018 and later years, and the amount of such costs we record as a deferred expense and amortize to expense in subsequent periods, will depend upon the nature and scope of our future business activities, the nature and mix of the products and services we sell, the compensation plans we have in place for our sales people, and the royalty arrangements we enter into with third parties.
