Qlik GeoAnalytics Server supports Java OpenJDK after Oracle changes licensing policies

Ayaka_Hanazono — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 11:43:44 GMT

Oracle has changed the licensing term for Java and no longer supports 64-bit Java SE Server JRE version 8-12 or later, which Qlik GeoAnalytics Server requires.

Java JDK can be utilized instead.

Download a free version of Java OpenJDK from https://jdk.java.net/ or https://developers.redhat.com/products/openjdk/download/, or obtain a commercial license at https://www.oracle.com/java/java-se-subscription.html.

Cause

Oracle Java SE Licensing change.

Hello @AbhiUKVM

Once downloaded the JDK .zip you could follow any guide on how to configure the system variables JAVA_HOME and PATH on the extracted .zip folder.

Suppose you extracted to c:\java\jdk-11 you could set :

JAVA_HOME=c:\java\jdk-11

and

PATH=.........current content......;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

then open a command prompt cmd and verify with java -version .
