Critical Reminder that the CASS expiration is August 1st. Apply the patches noted below to avoid Spectrum service interruption.
How to update Spectrum US Coding Engine (CASS) expiration
Products Affected: Spectrum - Universal Address Module
All Operating Systems
Spectrum versions 11.1, 12.1, and 12.2.1
Every year a patch is released for CASS compliance for data that comes from the United States Postal Service. This year's set of patches will actually extend the engine to 2020. Even if you do not use CASS certification on your address validation, you will need to apply the correct patch for your system in order to extend the US Coding Engine for Spectrum.
These patches are critical to ensure uninterrupted use of Spectrum.
Below are the Spectrum supported versions with the corresponding patch numbers.
Be sure to read the Release Notes for your patch to ensure it is applied correctly. Spectrum 2018.2 does not need a patch because its coding engine date is already extended.
