My Click Boss Pro supports GEO IP databases from two different companies. Both there free versions and there paid versions. If you want to use GEO IP location, one of the 4 different databases needs to be downloaded and installed. Here are the two companies and where to find the different free and paid databases.
MaxMind:

You want to download the GeoLite2 Country binary db format.
The direct download link at the time this page was published is – http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country.tar.gz
The database is in gzipped format and needs to be unzipped. You can use 7-Zip to first unzip the gzipped file and then untar the the .tar file using 7-Zip also. The extracted file should be named something like GeoLite2-Country.mmdb
If the file does not end in .mmdb you have not unzipped or untared the archive file completely.
