The Roadmap shown below is a visual representation of our past and current release models detailing their eligible error
correction windows within a given Lifetime Support stage (Premier, Extended). If the Extended Support stage is not show for a
release, then no error correction is available for that support period (i.e. Oracle Database 18c is not eligible for Extended

Support). Beginning with 12.2.0.1, we are now releasing a new database annually (i.e. every calendar year). As designated
below, an annual release that will have Extended Support is called the long term support release.
For details on the Lifetime Support Policy (Premier, Extended, Sustaining), see Lifetime Support Policy - Oracle Technology
Products.
For details on the Error Correction Policy (Patching end dates and grace periods), see Database, FMW, EM Grid Control,
and OCS Software Error Correction Support Policy (Doc ID 209768.1).
For details on Global Extended Support Fee Waivers, see Oracle Software Technical Support Policies Section 3 "Lifetime
Support" subtitle "Exceptions". During the waiver window, you will continue to receive the same level of Support that you
had under Premier Support. After an Extended Support waiver expires, you will need to cover your databases with ES or a
ULA that includes ES.
Now that 19c has released on most major platforms, Oracle's stance on upgrading has shifted away from 18c as an option
and is now focusing only on 19c.
If you are currently running 11.2.x/12.1.x you will need to upgrade to the terminal release for the product you are
running and then continue the upgrade process by upgrading to the 19c Database (Long term support release).
If you are currently running 12.2.0.1, please upgrade to 19c before the error correction grace period expires.
The purpose of these recommendations is to help you stay within the guidelines of Lifetime Support and Error Correction Policies
(allowing you to avoid costly support exceptions), and to encourage you to take advantage of the new features that are available
in the latest product releases.
For questions related to certification combinations and Lifetime Support agreements with other Oracle products like Oracle E-
Business Suite, Oracle JD Edwards, Oracle PeopleSoft, and Oracle Siebel, please contact your Oracle Account Representative.

The dates shown in the table below are the dates Oracle will provide patches, PSUs, and CPUs/SPUs for Database versions 12.1

Software Error Correction Support Policy (Doc ID 209768.1). The LSP and patching end dates are as follows unless noted

are maintained with Updates and Revisions. For more information see Update and Revisions for Database Proactive Patch
Program (Doc ID 2285040.1).
