Oracle Endeca End of Life (EOL) Dates & Support Timeline
Complete end-of-life dates, support windows, and security status for all Oracle Endeca versions. Dates read at the vendor's own lifecycle pages (oracle.com). Updated at every deploy.
Every tracked Oracle Endeca version is past end of life; the most recent to reach it, Endeca Information Discovery 3.2 (Endeca Server 7.7), did so on February 28, 2021. The full Oracle Endeca lifecycle, with every version's release and end-of-support date, is in the table below.

Oracle Endeca lifecycle status — the real story
Endeca was a search and guided-navigation vendor Oracle bought in 2011; its products went two ways. The analytics side became Oracle Endeca Information Discovery (Studio, Integrator, Integrator Acquisition System, Web Acquisition Toolkit and the Endeca Server engine), whose support windows are in Oracle's Fusion Middleware Lifetime Support Policy; the e-commerce side (Endeca Guided Search, Experience Manager, Endeca Commerce and the MDEX Engine, later sold as Oracle Commerce Guided Search and Experience Manager) is in the Applications Lifetime Support Policy. Oracle publishes months only and provides each stage "through the last day of the month", so dates here are the last day of Oracle's month; "end of support" is the end of Premier Support and "extended support" the end of paid Extended Support, after which Sustaining Support continues indefinitely with no new fixes or security patches.
Every Endeca line is past its last fix. Information Discovery 3.2 (with Endeca Server 7.7), the final release, ended Premier Support in February 2021 with no Extended Support offered; Endeca Server 7.4.0.0 is the only Information Discovery component that had Extended Support (to September 2020). On the commerce side, Oracle Commerce Guided Search and Experience Manager 11 to 11.2 and MDEX Engine 6.5 ended Premier Support in February 2019 and Extended Support in February 2022; Endeca Commerce 3.1.x ended in July 2017 and July 2020; and the Guided Search and Experience Manager 6.x lines ended in June 2014 and June 2016 without Extended Support. Oracle never announced an end of life for any of these: they slid into indefinite Sustaining Support, which is why the lifetime policy still lists them.
What this page does not cover: the Oracle Commerce 11.x platform rows (the former ATG Web Commerce, with 11.4 in Premier Support to July 2029) are a different product and are not served here; the Latitude 1.x and 2.x rows that preceded Information Discovery 2.2.2 are omitted; and the E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca follow the EBS 12.1 and 12.2 support periods under the Applications policy, not these dates. CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog has no Endeca entry (catalog 2026.10.08).
Oracle Endeca release and support pattern
Of the 12 release lines tracked, 12 are past end of life and 0 are still within support. Upstream also publishes an extended-support phase for 3 lines, shown in the table above.

What does Oracle Endeca end of life mean for your organization?
When a version of Oracle Endeca reaches end of life, the maintainers stop issuing security patches. Vulnerabilities discovered after this date are publicly disclosed on the National Vulnerability Database, exploit code appears on GitHub, and your systems remain permanently exposed.
The CVE blind spot: A CVE-based scan does not show the accumulation of unpatched vulnerabilities in EOL software. Some scanners flag unsupported versions of common products, but coverage varies, and none of them give you the date in advance. With a zero-day, nobody knows about the vulnerability. With EOL software, the vulnerability is public — listed, rated, and often weaponized — but no vendor patch is coming. This is one of the most dangerous gaps in enterprise security posture.
Organizations running EOL Oracle Endeca should treat it as a vulnerability class in their risk register, apply compensating controls (network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, access restriction), and prioritize migration to a supported version.
Your options when Oracle Endeca reaches end of life
There are four realistic paths. Which one is right depends far more on how long the system needs to keep running than on the version you are on today.
| Option | Best when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Move to a supported version | The system will outlive the current version's support window and you can schedule the work | Budget for compatibility testing, not just the upgrade itself — that is where the real cost sits |
| Replace the component | The project is unmaintained, or a better-supported alternative exists | The replacement has its own lifecycle and its own end-of-life date — you are changing vendors, not escaping the problem |
| Buy extended support | Migration is genuinely underway but cannot finish before the deadline, or the workload is frozen by certification or a third-party application | A bridge, not a destination — every year purchased is a year the migration still has to happen |
| Document accepted risk | The system is isolated, short-lived, or scheduled for retirement | Only defensible with real compensating controls and a written decision — auditors treat undocumented end-of-life software as a finding |
How to choose, in one question: how many more years does this system need to run? Under a year, extended support (where it exists) is usually cheaper than an emergency migration. One to three years, migrate — support purchased repeatedly costs more than doing the project once, and the project only gets harder as the version ages. Indefinitely, migrate now and plan the next migration before it surprises you.
Worth saying plainly, because vendors selling extended support rarely will: extended support is often the more expensive choice over a multi-year horizon. It is the right answer when a deadline is genuinely unreachable, not as a default. Compare the annual fee against the one-time cost of migrating before committing to either.

Extended Support Options
If you cannot migrate immediately, extended support vendors provide continued security patches for EOL Oracle Endeca versions. This is a bridge, not a permanent solution — plan your migration in parallel.
Oracle Endeca has 12 versions past end of life — security patches have stopped, but CVE disclosures haven't. Extended support past the official date exists for many products in this position — whether it exists for Oracle Endeca is exactly what we check. Tell us where to reach you and we'll reply with matched options and pricing guidance — or an honest "no vendor covers this."
