Qlik GeoAnalytics Server supports Java OpenJDK after Oracle changes licensing policies

[Ayaka_Hanazono]

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.

hi @Ayaka_Hanazono , kindly see the case 00054919: Java JDK and JRE versions not working

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 .
