Downloading Database Files

Note: Prior to downloading the data files: If you have previously installed database files, you should back up those files and delete any copies of the .gdi, .gsd, gsi, .gsl, .gsu, .gsz, .gsx, .z9, .dir, .las and .los files in the data install directory.

Downloading from the eStore

Download your Spectrum Product Database (SPD) format files from Precisely using the link provided in the Precisely communication or from data.precisely.com. If the download is a zip file, extract it to a temporary location.

Downloading from the Technical Support Web Site

Download the database from Precisely. You received a download link with your product release announcement or Welcome letter. The data file will be downloaded as a .zip file. Extract the files and make note of the directory where you save the files.

After Downloading the Database Files

You will need to decrypt the zip5.gs_ file before it can be installed. To perform this process, open a command prompt, navigate to the /datasets/LINUX/platform directory included on the data media, where <platform> is your operating system, and execute the following command:

centrus_decrypt.exe NewData/zip5.gs_ Clear28050
Where NewData is the location of the downloaded or copied updated data. Your file is now ready to be installed.
