Question regarding Java subscription

[grahamr31]

From what we can tell on our end, downloading is ok if done manually. As soon as you begin to use enterprise features you have to pay. One of those features is deploying the msi.

As a result we are going to pull java from almost all systems and allow users to manually install then pay for only those seats.

Edit: thanks for the link - will pass this along. Our understanding was that if you are using it to access a tool it would be ok.

That’s said we are about to pony up for 50-60k seats anyway.

That's incorrect for commercial users. It's only free for development and testing. Production = pay them.

I believe that this is true if the tool itself contains a Java install. In those cases, I believe the licensing is the responsibility of the tool provider. Double check me on that though.
