Oracle JRE License changes and Cf Servers

Hello,

I am being asked about our JDK/JRE usage at the School District by what appears to be a legit Oracle representative.

I assumed our Cf license covers everything ... but am afraid to answer the email, can't imagine we would have to buy JRE licenses now on top of the Cf license ??

Part of his email:

I ask because the changes with Java licensing impact uses cases of Java beyond development. 

For example, if you use Java Runtime (JRE) for 3rd party applications, you could be impacted by these changes depending on what versions/ updates of JRE you have installed.

Please let me know if you do have any Java instances installed on any of your desktops or servers so we can figure out if we should discuss this topic further

 

Thoughts ?

 

I checked the servers we have 2016 and 2018 .... looks like the JRE is Oracle and not OpenJDK

 

Thanks

    Hello Larry, 

    There is no need to buy separate License for JRE if you have license for Coldfusion . 

    You need to download Java from Adobe site, we do have separate License Agreement with Oracle.

    Download latest JDK from below link under "Additional Third party Installers"

    Thanks
