To enter licensing information for XE.com:

  1. Determine how to set up your license:
    • New XE.com license: You must contract with XE.com before you set up licensing information in DPS. Click here to register with XE.com. Reference Deltek Vantagepoint as the permitted application and Deltek as the vendor referral in the registration and then complete the following steps.
    • Existing XE.com license: If you have an existing XE.com license, you must renew your license agreement with XE.com. The new agreement will provide access to the XE.com APIs that are required.

    When you click the www.XE.com link, you leave the DPS software and enter a third-party Web site. You enter the third-party Web site at your own risk. Deltek is not responsible for your entrance into the third-party Web site or use of the services offered therein.

  2. From the desktop application Navigation menu, click Settings > General > General System.
  3. On the General System Settings form, click the XE.com Rates tab. If you have a prior version of an XE.com license, the XE Licenses grid displays with the previous XE license information in the Account ID and Description columns. Select each row that contains a previous license and click Delete.
  4. Enter the Account ID and associated API Key for your license that was provided by XE.com. You can only enter one license on the XE.com Rates tab.
  5. Enter a Description for the license.
  6. Use the Currencies grid to specify the rate combinations for the license entered in the XE Licenses grid. You can Insert and Delete currencies on this grid.

    Because the API can support multiple currency combinations, you can insert as many currency combinations as needed, but you cannot enter the same combination more than once.

    The currency options that are available are based on the currencies that are enabled for all companies.
