In order to operate the iDealer dashboard, it is a requirement that you have Java installed on your computer; among other things this allows your to receive streaming prices.

There are various ways to ensure that Java is installed and you have the required browser plug-in. The easiest method is to verify Java.

We strongly recommend that you keep your Java up-to-date with the latest version. You can test your Java version and upgrade if required!
