The new commercial license policy from Java will start being applied at the beginning of 2019. If UIM users are wondering what will be the impact on the product, this is a statement from the product management team on this matter:
CA UIM uses embedded JDK 8 & we do have a corporate wide agreement to distribute Java as an embedded component within CA software solutions. It also covers support, including older versions like Java 8 • The agreement expires in August of 2019 and specifies our ability to distribute components, patches and to buy further extended support as offered by Oracle (this exceeds the Java 8 Commercial User End of Public Updates in January 2019). Upon expiration, at CA/Broadcom’s discretion, we may choose to purchase technical support (for JRE 1.8 or others) as appropriate, as long as it aligns with Oracle’s current tech support policies. Since Oracle currently states they will offer both premier & extended support – for purposes of this discussion, through 2022/2025, either we or the client would have the ability to ensure continued support from Oracle was available. • Refer: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/java-se-support-roadmap.html Overall: • Java 8 can still be distributed as an embedded component as we are covered under the agreements above • Existing customers that have versions of CA solutions that run Java 8 (and 7 for that matter) will continue to be supported • CA is not allowed to distribute Java as a standalone solution. Licensing and support for this use case are not covered under the CA agreements • The use case of requiring a customer to obtain their own license of Java is not covered in any CA agreement
I hope it helps.
