AddressPro Version 1.21.3.0 Released February 2025

Cycle O

Enhancements

This release only affects the Loqate Cloud International-Address lookup feature of AddressPro.
The Loqate Cloud web service has been updated from a SOAP to a REST system. By default, this version and all future versions of AddressPro will use the new REST web service for Loqate Cloud lookups. All address-processing functionality will remain the same.

The only change that a user might need to make is to ensure that their Loqate Cloud license key (in the AddressPro web-service configuration file) is in the newer format, see below:

For Example: LQC_LICENSE_KEY=AA11-BB22-CC33-DD44

Corrections

This release fixes the AddressPro WSD: files to allow files to be retrieved from a simple URL using a web browser. The URLs to use for each of the AddressPro WSDL files are as follows (HTTPS should be used for SSL connections):

http://address_pro_ip_address/AnchorSoftwareAddressing.wsdl
http://address_pro_ip_address/AnchorSoftwareStats.wsdl
http://address_pro_ip_address/AnchorSoftwareUtilities.wsdl

This release fixes an issue with the DetectAddressLines operation in the Address Utilities interface. If an address line contained a street name with a suffix of CT (COURT), the program would incorrectly assign CT as the State. This feature has been corrected and now functions as expected.

This release fixes an issue with the CodingEngine field not containing the new international REST call for the Loqate Cloud. This feature now functions as expected.

This release fixes the error message when credits are expired in a Loqate Cloud account. This feature now functions as expected.

AnchorCoder Version 5.00.09.O Released July 2026

Enhancements

This release adds footnote H2 to identify when a Unique ZIP Code is removed on a no-match because the City/State and ZIP Code do not correspond with each other.

Examples:

INPUT: 17179 MIDLLE HURST RD CLEVELAND HTS OH 44188
OLD OUT: 17179 MIDLLE HURST RD CLEVELAND HTS OH (no match)
NEW OUT: 17179 MIDLLE HURST RD CLEVELAND HTS OH (no match, footnote H2)

INPUT: 10518 SAGE CASCH GAHANNA OH 43041
OLD OUT: 10518 SAGE CASCH GAHANNA OH (no match)
NEW OUT: 10518 SAGE CASCH GAHANNA OH (no match, footnote H2)

This release adds footnote H3 to identify when an address with a Unique ZIP Code has an invalid city/state. The Coder will not make a default Unique ZIP Code match under these conditions per CASS rules. The Unique ZIP Code is retained because it is the only piece of valid information on the last line. Correcting the city/state should allow for a match to happen.

Examples:

INPUT: 1845 fairmont wichita kj 67260
OLD OUT: 1845 FAIRMONT WICHITA KJ (no match)
NEW OUT: 1845 FAIRMONT WICHITA KJ 67260 (no match, footnote H3)

INPUT: 3550 aberdeen ave kafb nm 87117
OLD OUT: 3550 ABERDEEN AVE KAFB NM (no match)
NEW OUT: 3550 ABERDEEN AVE KAFB NM 87117 (no match, footnote H3)

This release adds footnote J3 to identify when an input city does not match the input state and could not be corrected with a ZIP+4 match.

Examples:

INPUT: 719 HEMPSTEAD FQ NY 10010
OLD OUT: 719 HEMPSTEAD FQ NY 10010 (no match)
NEW OUT: 719 HEMPSTEAD FQ NY 10010 (no match, footnote J3)

INPUT: 3003 mlasalle ave bx ny 10461
OLD OUT: 3003 MLASALLE AVE BX NY 10461 (no match)
NEW OUT: 3003 MLASALLE AVE BX NY 10461 (no match, footnote J3)


This release adds footnote J4 to identify when an input state is invalid or missing and could not be corrected with a ZIP+4 match.

Examples:

INPUT: 50 barkers pl rd v v 11050
OLD OUT: 50 BARKERS PL RD V V 11050 (no match)
NEW OUT: 50 BARKERS PL RD V V 11050 (no match, footnote J4)

INPUT: 1744 rtt 8 boston heights oi 44235
OLD OUT: 1744 RTT 8 BOSTON HEIGHTS OI 44235 (no match)
NEW OUT: 1744 RTT 8 BOSTON HEIGHTS OI 44235 (no match, footnote J4)

INPUT: 5957 VB BLVD ORF A 23502
OLD OUT: 5957 VB BLVD ORF A 23502 (no match)
NEW OUT: 5957 VB BLVD ORF A 23502 (no match, footnote J4)

This release enhances secondary information matching that is reversed with the unit designator and secondary number.

Examples:

AddressLine1 AddressLine2 LastLine
——————————- —————— ———————————————-
INPUT: 1001 E SAMPLE RD 4W SUITE DEERFIELD BEACH FL 33442
OLD OUT: 1001 E SAMPLE RD 4W SUITE DEERFIELD BEACH FL 33064-5161 (footnotes AAN1, DPV=D)
NEW OUT: 1001 E SAMPLE RD STE 4W DEERFIELD BEACH FL 33064-5161 (footnotes AABB, DPV=Y)

NEW OUT: 3038 W GRAND BLVD STE 4-450 DETROIT MI 48202-6012 (footnotes AABB, DPV=Y)


This release improves matching for addresses with multiple suffixes that are not presented correctly.

INPUT: 4350 hacks cross road memphis tn 38125
OLD OUT: 4350 HACKS CROSS ROAD MEMPHIS TN 38125 (no match)
NEW OUT: 4350 HACKS CROSS RD MEMPHIS TN 38125-3101

This release adds a new control book setting, Double Street Option. The user can set this to one of the following:
  • STREET – this is the street line preferred.
