This windows shows which products under Contact Verify are licensed.

On-Premise

You have the option of using the Contact Verification Component on-premise, using locally installed instances of the objects in Melissa Data's Data Quality Suite, or over the web, using Melissa Data's WebSmart services.

• On-Premise processing is faster, but requires that you keep the objects and their underlying data files up-to-date.
• Web processing always has up-to-date data, but requires an internet connection and is slower than On-Premise processing.

To configure the Contact Verify Component for On-Premise processing:

Data File Path

This should point the folder on the local system that contains the Contact Verify Component and its data files. The default path should work unless you installed the component to a different folder.

After entering the Data Path, click the Show Details button immediately below the Data File Path to verify that the data path is valid.

Show Details (Web)

The Show Details screen for both types of cloud processing (Web and Local Appliance) displays basic information about the web services being used by the Contact Verification Component. This screen is simpler than the screen for On-Premise processing because maintenance and updating of the data files is handled either by Melissa Data (when using Web [Melissa Data Cloud] processing) or by those responsible for maintaining the Contact Verification Server (Local Appliance processing).
