  Product: Ansys ModelCenter 13.2 and newer
  
  Severity: Informational
  
  Introduction: A Java Runtime Environment is required to install ModelCenter. A supported 64-bit
  JDK or JRE should be installed before installing ModelCenter. 64-bit Java 8 LTS and Java 11 LTS are
  supported.
  
  Issue: Previously, Java was distributed with ModelCenter. Oracle changed licensing for Java starting
  April 16, 2019. As a result, Java will no longer be distributed with ModelCenter beginning with
  ModelCenter 13.2.
  
  Impact: When ModelCenter 13.2 or newer is installed, users will need to point the installer to a
  supported 64-bit JDK or JRE. Users may need to download and install Java if there is not already a
  supported version installed on the system.
  
  Resolution: ModelCenter 13.2 supports 64-bit Java 8 LTS and Java 11 LTS. During install, the user
  will be prompted to select a directory where supported JDK or JRE is installed. If one is not present, a
  supported version of Java should be installed. An Environment Variable PHX_JAVA_HOME will be
  created storing the location of the JDK or JRE.
