please note that the latest release of Aspose.Words for Java 24.09 has updated the bc-fips library to the latest version. As a result, aspose-words-24.9-jdk16.jar and aspose-words-24.9-jdk17.jar, as well as future releases, will work in the IBM environment. Therefore, we are discontinuing aspose-words-XX.X-jdk17ibm.jar.
