Using license4j with JRE 16 and newer - license4j

In my software, I use license4j together with version 15 of OpenJDK, which works fine. However, if I try to use OpenJDK version 16 or newer, validating a license doesn't work anymore because the ValidationStatus is always LICENSE_INVALID. I suspect that this has something to do with the removal of legacy elliptic curves, but I am not really sure since license4j is closed source.
Unfortunately, their support is not responding to my emails.
Has anybody already experienced this issue or knows how to fix it?

VS Code Platform-IO configuration

I had been using Platform-IO up to 2019 but when I reopened a project things started getting worse and worse. Tasks disappeared and it took a while to be able to compile again. Now Platform-IO has disappeared completely and I was getting deprecation warnings in the "Toggle developer tool' console.
Now after a complete reinstall of VS, Platform-IO etc. the IDE is still not functioning and I regret ever using it. It is like you jump into your car begging it to start. For professional use (able to restart your car every day without a mechanics) this solution needed to be solid and reliable which it does not seem to be. I will have to switch to another IDE I guess. The name Microsoft should have make me hesitate ...
I am using Windows 7 Professional and NO I WILL NOT UPGRADE THE OS.
Is there any means to install a functioning VS-Code / Platform-IO on Windows 7 or is it just an idea of an IDE ?
Sorry to appear mean but "Making you more productive" sounds like a scorn.
I recently tried installing Platform IO on a Win 7 PC of a colleague and experienced similar issues like you. Seems like current Platform IO versions / builds are not compatible and therefore not runnable on Windows 7.
Only idea comes to my mind is using legacy / previous releases of VS Code and Platform IO (manual plugin installation with a legacy release) to get a runnable environment on Win 7, but I didn't test it since I ended up installing a recent Ubuntu next to Win 7. (Seemed like a better solution to me).
Here you can find all of the older releases of VS Code & Platform IO:

Good luck ;)

CoreAVC 3.0.1 can't register on Win8.1 64bit

I installed CoreAVC 3.0.1 on my Windows 8.1 64bit, and want to use its decoder in MPC-HC. 32bit versions of CoreAVC and MPC-HC on Win8.1 64bit worked well. But when it turns to 64bit, MPC-HC can't find CoreAVC, and re-register CoreAVCDecoder64.ax fails with "A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed" error. I have already re-installed CoreAVC for many times. Can somebody help me with this? Thanks!
Since nobody ever seems to have answered this...CoreAVC is simply not supported under Windows 8/8.1/10. It has not been updated in quite some time and appears as though it will not be in the near future. Best bet is to try the CCCP for MPC-HC.
If you want to run HD video with CoreAVC, you'd better just go back to Windows 7.

This java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM

I home host a Minecraft server and I just updated Java to update 65, the server worked perfectly before updating but now, it says
"This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM. Please install the desired version."
Installing 32-bit Java doesn't help and this also happens when I run my Minecraft client.
I have 64-bit Windows 7 running 64-bit Java 7.
If anybody can help that would be great.
EDIT: Fixed it, apparently I'm just an idiot and had 32-bit installed when I updated java, and since I thought I had 64-bit installed I never thought to re-install it. Sorry for wasting your time
As the author stated, the solution was pretty simple. Bringing it to an answer to help future users
This java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM
This error is associated with your System looking for a Java 64-bit Virtual Machine and not finding any.
To solve it, you must make sure that the 64-bit Java is installed. The problem the OP had was: He assumed he had the 64-bit installed, but he did not.
To download Java, access Java Website
Because you are using 64 bit minecraft client, you are not able to work even with 32 bit JVM.
Kindly install all the things, mincraft server,client, JVM of 32 bit only. You can run it definitely. If still not able to work, let me know with exact error message you are getting.

Powerbuilder 10 Windows 8 compatibility

Does anyone know if Powerbuilder 10 is compatible with Windows 8 (Both the IDE and the runtime module)?
It seems like 11.5 is officially supported, but I couldn't find any info on PB 10's compatibility on Windows 8.
If it isn't, any tips on the migration process from 10->Further version? (Anything particular we have to watch out for?)
You should have no problem with running PB10 applications on Windows 8, appart perhaps not being not fully compliant with Win8 standards (concerning the placement of application data files, access rights on files, and so on mostly related to UAC file virtualization).
Neither you should have big problems with running the IDE, but maybe some minor issues (I think about an issue on the retrieval argument editor on PB11.5 that could also address PB10).
This is one of those things where you just have to try it yourself. The number of PowerBuilder developers with Windows 8 is likely very small.
I am supposed to be getting a Surface Pro 2 when they come out Oct 22nd which will run Windows 8.1. Hopefully there won't be any issues.
I am not sure about PB10 but I have used PB 10.5 in Win8 with no problem.
We have serious issues with running a PB10 application on Windows 8 computers.
Application runs fine until user enters text in datawindow fields, the application "stopped working". The problem is that it happens randomly, 10 fields can be entered without a problem but at the next field the "stopped working" pops up en the application is closed the next time it might happen after entering 2 fields.
The same application runs already for years on many computers unders XP, Vista, Windows 7 without any issue.
Until now we still have no clou what is causing it. Also we have no idea where to start searching.
The application is developed andf deployed under XP.
Next week we are going to setup a development environment under Windows, hopefully this will give us some more light on the issue.
Two things you need to realize:
PB10 was built (and support development stopped) before before Win8 was conceived, so obviously Sybase couldn't do anything in PB to help with Win8 compatibility. You're relying on MS's ability to maintain a backward compatible environment. IME, they do a pretty good job (better than my experience upgrading in the Unix world, but I'd imagine YMMV), but it's never perfect.
PowerBuilder is powerful enough to allow you to build an application that will break under any operating system. PB10 may have been supported on XP, but I guarantee you that I could have written something that violated an XP rule, or corrupted memory, or whatever, and would have been broken under XP. (I've seen memory corruptions that didn't manifest themselves until after an OS upgrade or some other change; so "broken" may not even manifest symptoms yet.) Is that Sybase's fault? I don't think so. They're the rope manufacturer; if you hang yourself....
Bottom line is what's already been said: no matter what the manufacturer or anyone else says, the only answer worth anything is the results of your own testing. My "Hello World" app may run in Win8 just fine, but your app that taps into the TCP/IP stack, leverage protected mode calls, sending printing language codes directly to the point-of-sale bar code printer, etc....
Good luck,
Terry.

Windows 8 pro reset

I've bought windows 8 upgrade for my windows 7 pc. I've payed, downloaded, but unfortunatly, for the entusiasm of that moment, I haven't burned a dvd or usbkey for having the iso. Now, after two week I had a bsod after a synchronization with skydrive, and after this, my pc is "broken" (I've tryed everything) ...
So, now I want to do a reset but I haven't got the install dvd (I've already tried with a refresh but nothing usefull happens) . I've searched everywhere on web but is not clear what I have to do... (I'm not able to find any official download for win8 pro) I've bought my upgrade, but I can't reinstall it? It's strange and it sounds a little silly...
Any hint?
I had the same problem. Because you own the license, you can download a Windows 8 pro from "the internet" and install it with your key. Just be sure to download a official iso with a valid hash (it doesn't matter if you get it from unofficial sources).
Of course you can also call Microsoft for support, but the former solution is so easy.
