Julia v1.2 was released over two years ago, and it’s not a long-term support release, so it hasn’t received various bugfixes. Can you try with a modern version of Julia?

It is commercial product can’t use latest julia. is there any other package similar to it?

Why can’t you use a later version of Julia? Note that the current version is a minor version upgrade from 1.2, so should be a non-breaking update. (If you truly can never update anything you should consider using the LTS version, which is now 1.6)
