I concur with Jacek.  I got the email the other day, but that is not the first.  I received the below email on Jul 14.

In order for PowerChute Business Edition Basic and Deluxe to remain functional, users must upgrade to any version of 7.x.

Due to expiration of the Sun Java Runtime Environment certificate, versions 6.x of PowerChute Business Edition will cease to function on July 27, 2005. Failure to upgrade will render PowerChute Business Edition inoperable. This software upgrade is free of charge and is available on APC's web site.
