that either do not exist or are addresses to which there is no mail delivery. As the creator of the Postal CodeOM data, Canada Post is the original source of,

administrator to successfully install a product.
Environment Variables
For new product releases, where applicable, the installation process sets the environment variables
shown below. The value xxx is the three-character product code (see the Product Code table for a
listing of these). Note that the default paths are overridden if you supply a different path during
installation.

indicate post-release build numbers and other important internal information. This file contains an
install image (which in turn contains setup.exe) that must be downloaded to a temporary folder you
define.
Software updates (also called “fixes”) may also be identified by a fix level, along with the product
code and release number; for example: xxxnnnCxxxxxxx.zip or xxxnnnNTSxxxxxxx.zip (or with the
*.exe extension).
Media Installs
We deliver a media image on the product DVD. Additional information may be provided in a
README.TXT file. Installation media is only available from the Pitney Bowes eStore. Please
log in to the Pitney Bowes Software eStore for media purchasing and shipping.
Products and Subscription Databases
In addition to software installation, Canadian CODE-1 Plus requires a subscription database. Follow
