Do not update to Java 7 u51
Partners,
To check your version of Java, it's three simple steps.
The latest
version of Java (Java 7 update 51) is not compatible with the installed release of Host On Demand (HOD).
HOD is the service available at secureaccess.wa.gov that allows partners to access the BLS system to manage their business licenses and registrations.
Do not accept Java 7 Update 51. Remain at Java 7 Update 45, if possible.
To check your version of Java, it's three simple steps.
- Go to Start menu & click Control Panel
- Click Programs and Features
- Select Java. At the bottom it will show the version.
Lastly, if you have administrative rights to your office PC, turn off the auto update feature for Java to prevent the installation of Java 7 u51. You can be notified of the update without installing it if you follow the instructions here.
If your system has already updated, you likely need an IT administrator to install the previous Java version (See instructions at bottom).
