hi All, i am currently using FME2015, May i check if we are able to use openJDK to replace JRE so that we do not need to use Java Oracle license? Thank you.

I believe this would be a risky move… 

To even have a chance You would need to consider using the equivalent OpenJDK version from that era (see your FME 2015 installation - OpenJDK 8u20 – 8u66).  I think over all this will likely fail but one never knows.  Backup, Backup. And backup again.

 

Lastly, I’m sure you know what’s coming but it’s probably time to upgrade to a new version.  As you know, this version is no longer supported.
