Requirements

The UPS Tracker Component has only three system requirements to work.

• Connection to UPS.COM on SSL (Port 443). Since the rate calculator communicates receives the rate information from UPS, every time a rate quote is requested a connection to UPS.COM is established.
• Microsoft.NET runtime with a ASP.NET compatible web server installed.
• Free registration with UPS.COM to obtain an access key for requesting rate information. (instructions below)

Installation

1. To use the rate calculator you must register with UPS.COM and request a XML access key. Don't worry! Access to this service is free. This is required in order to send and receive information from the UPS rate database. To register go to the UPS registration page and fill out the form. You must also request a XML access key and agree to the terms of the access license. A valid XML access key will then be provided via e-mail.

Once you have completed the developer registration, use your user name and password to login. Keep your user name and password handy as you will need it along with your XML access key to query the database! After logging in, click on the "Get Access Key" option on the navigation menu on the left side of the screen. The "Get Access Key" screen will appear asking you which type of key your are requesting. Choose "XML Access Key". Before you will be able to receive your XML access key, you will need to get a Developer's Key from the e-mail you should have received after registering. Submit the form and check your e-mail for the XML Access Key.
