Not on any 7.5 system with which I've worked.
Nor do these categories exist.

Assuming you are talking about postal certification here, the contract with IBM will include regular updates for whichever address databases you buy (for example DPID for Australia, SERP for Canada).

Get "them" to do do an inhouse demo of the Resource Estimator in version 8 and drool. It may advance your decision date for version 8.

By default the score does not touch down to disk at all - it is composed by the Conductor process and distributed to the Section Leader processes. Without being dumped by APT_DUMP_SCORE or APT_PX_DEBUG it is ephemeral.
