Understanding Java licensing for Sisense insight installation
Introduction
This article addresses the Java licensing requirements for using Sisense Insight installations. Users frequently inquire whether the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) included with Sisense is covered by Sisense or if they need to transition to an alternative such as Azul Java, especially in light of Oracle Java's licensing constraints.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Understand the Licensing Context:
Oracle Java versions beyond version 6 have specific licensing requirements that may impose restrictions if not covered under a third-party agreement.
- Check the Installed Java Version:
For Sisense 2023.3, Java version 8 is typically included. Always review the version details included with your specific Sisense installation.
- Verify Licensing Coverage:
О Sisense generally provides a compatible Java Runtime Environment with its
installations. However, it's essential for users to confirm if this coverage satisfies their organizational requirements, especially if bound by any Oracle Java restrictions.
- Consider Alternative Java Providers:
If the installed Java version does not meet licensing requirements, consider transitioning to a supported alternative like Azul Java.
- Refer to Release Notes:
O Always check the latest release notes for specific Java version details included in
each Sisense version. Visit: Sisense Release Notes
Conclusion
To ensure compliance with Java licensing, confirm whether the Java version provided with your Sisense installation meets your licensing needs. Keep abreast of version-specific details through the provided release notes and seek alternatives if your version does not meet your requirements.
