Oracle support timelines for Fusion Middleware tighter than expected

Oracle has announced shorter-than-expected support timelines for its Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Release 2, with Premier Support ending in December 2026 and Extended Support in December 2027. The company will offer a fee-based 'Market Driven Support' program post-2027, which critics describe as limited and costly. Oracle also confirmed future versions of its middleware will support IBM's AIX Unix operating system.
