AESPcLink Version 6.7 Is Now Available
Effective December 22, 2006 an upgrade version of AESPcLink, Version 6.7, is available to be downloaded.
AESPcLink Version 6.7 contains the following new features:
Proper Validation of License Types
Version 6.7 will further validate the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and the License Number. Previously, the ECCNs were primarily validated for their format while License Numbers were validated based on whether they were required, not required or conditional. Recent additions have required the expansion of the AESPcLink validations to include specific values in these fields.
The update affects the following License Types:
Alphanumeric Suffix in USPPI Profile
Version 6.7 allows users to enter alphanumeric characters in the Suffix field of the USPPI ID Number. Previously, when entering an 11 character USPPI ID Number, AESPcLink validations would not allow for alphanumeric characters in the Suffix field.
To update your AESPcLink software to the latest 6.7 Version, please go to the the "Tools" Menu in AESPcLink and select "Update AESPcLink Software" and follow the instructions provided.
Once the latest 6.7 Version is downloaded, please update your AES Code Tables - Other (License, Export, Unit Codes) from the "Tools" Menu in AESPcLink in order to fully utilize these new features.
