Summary
All QuickAddress products use data sets that are ‘time-stamped’ to expire after a fixed amount of time. This is to prevent users from using old data which can compromise the data quality of addresses captured, verified, or enhanced by QuickAddress software.
Do these steps apply to me?
The following is a step-by-step process on how to update your PAF data. It is intended for users updating PAF data which sits on the same machine as:
- QuickAddress Pro Plug n Go
- QuickAddress Pro Server
- QuickAddress Batch Standalone
If your active data directory is located on a machine which does not contain any QuickAddress products, such as a shared network drive, then please see the manual instructions for updating data listed at the end of this document on page 5. Also refer to this section if you are updating:
- QuickAddress Pro API
- QuickAddress Batch API
- QuickAddress Pro Web API
- QuickAddress products on UNIX
Solution
Follow the steps below:
1. Insert the PAF data disk in your CD drive and launch the setup.exe.
2. Select English (International) and click Next >.
3. Select the Update Existing Data option. Click Next >.
4. If you are only updating the standard PAF database leave the AUS DataPlus option unchecked. Click Next >.
5. Select the QuickAddress product you wish to update. You can select multiple products from this list if you wish. Click Next >.
6. Make sure the Default Location option is checked. This creates a new directory to store the new data and will be automatically activated when the QuickAddress software starts up next. This option allows you to update data whilst still having QuickAddress software open. Click Next >.
7. If you have all QuickAddress products closed and wish to directly replace your existing data files then you may wish to select Replace Existing Data. Click Next >.
8. Please ensure both Address Data and BSP DataPlus items are selected. Click Next >.
9. If you do not wish to install the Country Information Guide then uncheck it. You may also uncheck the Data Changes Sheet option if you do not wish to view this. Click Finish.
You have now successfully updated your QuickAddress Data.
Manual installation
You can manually replace your existing data files by:
1. Locating your current PAF data directory
2. Copying the following files from D:\Data on the new PAF CD (where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive) to your current PAF data directory
3. Select Yes To All to overwrite your old data files
4. Your QuickAddress products should now automatically pick up the new data
