Description
- Impact of the Oracle Business Model Change on PTC Products
- Java support by PTC from January 2019
- Oracle has announced changes to their Java support policies effective January 2019 that affect many PTC products that use Java
- After January 1, 2019, PTC will no longer be authorized to distribute non-publicly available versions of Java JRE (Java Runtime Environment) or the JDK (Java Development Kit) with product installations or in maintenance updates
- Post-January 2019, PTC will no longer distribute Java for any new product releases or any maintenance update, except for free trial and freemium products
- For products released prior to January 2019, PTC may continue to distribute a publicly-available version of Java with the product release only
- It will be necessary to retain support contracts with Oracle starting in January 2019 to receive updates to Java for PTC products and to install new versions of products
- Is OpenJDK supported?
