To download and install the First Quarter 2024 Enhanced International Database in the Spectrum Product Database (SPD) format, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure no applications are running.
  2. Select and download your licensed SPD files (xxx.spd) from the Precisely Data Experience at https://support.precisely.com using the link provided in the database release notification email.
  3. The database is downloaded as an .spd file.
  4. If you do not already have an unlock code for the Enhanced International Address Database installed on your system, follow these steps to install the unlock code:
    1. Stop the Spectrum Technology Platform server. To stop the server, right-click the Spectrum Technology Platform icon in the Windows system tray and select Stop Server. Alternatively, you can use the Windows Services control panel to stop the Spectrum Technology Platform service.
    2. Open this file in a text editor:
      <SpectrumLocation>\server\modules\addressglobal\conf\unlockcodes.txt
    3. Enter your unlock codes, one for each line.
    4. Save and close the file.
  5. Install the SPD files:
    1. Place the SPD files in SpectrumDirectory/server/import. This is the default location for SPD files. The Spectrum Technology Platform server monitors this folder and looks for new files in two-second intervals.
      You can change the location of the import directory by using the CLI command.
    2. When the server detects new SPD files, the server automatically extracts the SPD files to SpectrumDirectory/server/ref-data.
      You can change the location of the import directory by using the CLI command.
    3. By default, the SPD files will not be deleted. The SPD files will be archived in the archive folder.
    4. At this point, the data becomes available and you can add the data as a Spectrum database resource in the Spectrum Databases section of Management Console.
