Description

Early in May 2019 the status of the UoB managed software version of ‘Java SE ‘8 will change from unrestricted to restricted. This is due to Oracle’s policy of ending free access to critical security patches. IT Services will license Java SE 8 on a use case basis and will continue to release secure versions of it in the normal way. This means current active users will retain a licensed copy but it will be removed from managed machines where it is either not used, or is an insecure legacy version. If you have a need to start using Java software then you will need to make a request via the IT Service Desk, service-desk@bristol.ac.uk.
