License key
A license key is required for each combination of data and product that you purchase. Failure to enter a valid license key means that the product will be unable to use the data. You should have already received licenses from Experian Data Quality for any products and datasets you have purchased. If you have not received them, please contact Technical Support.
If you have chosen to install/update your data using installation disks rather than Electronic Updates, the data installer prompts you to enter a license key for each product/data combination for which you have purchased data. For example, if you are using both Pro and Batch API and have purchased GBR data for both products then you will be asked to enter a separate GBR license key for each product.
See Install for more information.
If you are running Batch API on UNIX, or you do not install data using the Windows installer utility, then you will need to manually edit qalicn.ini to insert the license keys supplied with your data. Each key should appear on its own line, starting on the first character of the line.
If a license has expired, it is not possible to open an instance of the API (QABatchWV_Open). You can use QABatchWV_DataSetInfo to view how long is left before the data expires.
Evaluation license keys set time limits on the usage of data. To continue using the product and data after these time limits have been reached, you must purchase a full license.
Contact us to upgrade from an evaluation license to a full license. When you have received your new license key, you should enter it in qalicn.ini.
