Installing OpenJDK for Use With SOTI MobiControl

About this task

Install and verify OpenJDK 21 for use with SOTI MobiControl. OpenJDK is a long-term support alternative to Oracle JDK. If you already have Oracle JDK installed, you do not need to install OpenJDK.
Note: All required prerequisites are embedded in the SOTI MobiControl installer, so you do not need to install them manually.

Procedure

To install and configure OpenJDK:
  1. Download the long-term supported (LTS) release of OpenJDK 21.
  2. Install OpenJDK to a local folder C:\Program Files\JavaOpenJDK.
  3. Restart your computer.
  4. Open a command prompt and run the following command to verify the installation: java -version
    You should see output similar to the following:
