Does iVanti know how they are going to handle java updates of Java JRE running on Desktops\Servers come January of 2019? Oracle is saying we must purchase a license per user for each desktop that has Oracle Java, as well as servers. Publicly available updates will no longer offered for free.
Here is info on this, and my quick interpretation of the information.
All Java that is 8 and above will stop receiving publicly available updates after the first of the year in January, the exact date I'm not sure. You can continue to use Java without a license, but you will not receive any updates to it.. good luck if your doing vulnerability scans.. :-) The license to use Java JRE on each desktop is user based, so your supposed to have a license for each user that has the ability to login to a workstation.
For servers were still figuring out whats required, but its core based and if your virtualized it doesn't look good.

Just curious, how is everyone else planning on handling this? I'm sure many will go to OpenJDK which is completely opensource.
