Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the package integrated into your development environment.

Licensing

All Melissa cloud services require a license to use. This license is an encrypted series of letters, numbers, and symbols. This license can also either be a Credit license or a Subscription license. Both ways use the same service, so you do not need to change your code to move from one model to another.
