Please ensure your firewalls accept a connection to these servers to allow Electronic Updates to perform its required downloads.
The network account under which Electronic Updates client runs on Microsoft Windows must be able to create, change and delete files and folders on the Experian product installations on UNIX/Linux. Free software such as SAMBA can be used to achieve this.
