This procedure describes how to install the databases used by the Validate Address Global
stage. For instructions on installing databases used by other Universal Addressing
Module stages, see the Spectrum Technology Platform Administration
Guide.
Download your licensed SPD files (xxx.spd) using the
link provided in the Pitney Bowes communication or from the Pitney Bowes Software and Data Marketplace (SDM).
The SPD files are:
VAGlobal-EMEA.spd—Contains the data for Europe, Middle East, and
Africa.
VAGlobal-APAC.spd—Contains the data for Asia-Pacific.
VAGlobal-Americas.spd—Contains the data for the
Americas.
Note: You may install databases on a mapped drive, but performance will be affected since you
will be accessing the databases on a network rather than accessing the databases locally.
Stop the Spectrum Technology Platform. To do this, open the Windows system
tray and select Stop Spectrum™.
