If you need more frequent updates, or you wish to use the qppstudio data outside of the Q++Studio software, then it is also possible to license qppstudio worldwide public holidays separately, as yearly Excel files, which may be used outside of the Q++Studio software. For more details, see the qppstudio licensing page.
