Distribution Options
Since CenterScape is a Java based application RF Code provides distributions for both Windows and Linux based server operating systems. The below table describes the various distributions available for customers. The CenterScape license allows customers to choose which environment they wish to run the CenterScape Application Server or CenterScape Core and migration between Linux and Windows whenever they wish. Note: Migration between Postgres and SQL server is not supported. CenterScape uses JRE/JDK 17 and customers can use distributions that include the freely distributed Open JDK or distributions that do not include Java so that they may use their own managed Java version. RF Code periodically updates the Open JDK with newer releases of the software but some customers may want faster updates than the RF Code CenterScape release cycle can provide. These customers should utilize the “No JRE” distributions.
