Issue: Does APC PowerChute Business Edition and PowerChute Network Shutdown software use JRE?
Product Line:
PowerChute Business Edition 9.5 and older
PowerChute Network Shutdown 4.3 and older Environment:
All support OS
Cause: Oracle’s support for JRE 8 ended January 2019.
Solution:
APC released PowerChute Business Edition v10.x and PowerChute Network Shutdown v4.3+ which use OpenJDK. This is the way recommended by Oracle to use Java in future without having to pay a license fee.
Both software products will also include an easy way to keep OpenJDK up to date and this will be fully documented as part of these new software versions.
