BPM is provided without warranty. It requires installation of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.8. The BPM distribution includes a free JRE for 64-bit Microsoft Windows. Since BPM uses Java, it will run on any 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows. Send questions or comments about BPM to admin@bluemontsw.com.

UPDATE: BPM has been updated to version 14-Jan-2026. This is a bug fix and documentation update, not a feature update. To do the update, run bpm-installer.jar, or download bpm-update.zip into the BPM installation folder and extract it.

UPDATE: The BPM installation program has been updated. bpm-installer.zip should be downloaded and re-installed, then bpm-installer.jar run to update BPM.
