Resolution

Once you have a working environment, you can now install Java 8 and then install the JCE for Java 8. You can download the JCE as provided below.

Open the notes.ini file and verify the path for SAVJava= line to point to the Java 8 bin folder.  If this line does not exist, you can just add it to your notes.ini.  Here is an example:  SAVJava=C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin\

Now when you run LiveUpdate it will use this path and run using Java 8.

NOTE:  If you have SMSDOM installed without LiveUpdate you will then need to follow the steps at one of the following technotes depending on your environment that matches yours and then just substitute installing Java 6 with Java 8 in the steps.
