Acquiring the License Key and Postal Directories for Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server

The Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server is installed as part of Informatica Identity Resolution installation. All content and license keys for the postal directories, however, must be purchased directly from Informatica Address Doctor. Subsequent updates and support for the postal directories is provided by Informatica Address Doctor also.

Address Doctor postal directories are currently certified in USA, Canada, and Australia. Address Doctor provides coverage for over 240 countries but not all coverage is the same. Address Doctor assigns a grade (A+, A, B) for each country's coverage. As this grade can change, it is recommended that you check the Address Doctor Web site at the following address for the latest grades:

License keys, once purchased, provide a 12-month subscription to the postal directories and restrict the use of address validation to the purchased countries or territories. The maximum duration of the license key is 12 months.

A postal directory is ultimately owned and managed by the country or territory that provides the postal data, and hence is managed differently across providers. You can keep an eye on postal directory updates by:

• Verifying the postal reference data on the Address Doctor Web site.
• Reviewing any update emails that Address Doctor sends.
