Old version of Ignition, I know.

What is the newest version of Java that will still allow this version to work?

Thanks,

I’d go with 6u45, since that was the mainstream Java version when 7.1 was released.

I seem to personally remember having issues when saving a project in designer and not having things show correctly in the client when using Java7.

That’s the version I’m currently at. I’m running on a Windows 7 box and am looking at a Win 10 mandatory upgrade in the near future. I’ll just have to try it on Win 10 and Java 8 to see what happens.

Thanks!

The gateway may work just fine on Java 7 or 8 but I’d expect the client and designer to have issues.
