ORACLE NOW REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION TO USE JAVA SE

How will this affect us Users?

Is JAMF switching to JAVA 11 LTS in Autumn?
And will this require Subscription from Oracle too?

Well it is good to know, that JAMF wants to support JAVA 11 LTS, shortly after its release in September 2018.

However there are likely some Businesses, that have to stick to Java 8 & they need to sign up to the Subscription Model, in order to receive further Updates, because JAVA 8 is expected to receive no Public Updates after September 2018.

Based on the News Link & the subsequent Oracle Subscription FAQ.
