Oracle PeopleSoft End of Life (EOL) Dates & Support Timeline

Oracle PeopleSoft lifecycle status — the real story

PeopleSoft support windows come from Oracle's Applications Lifetime Support Policy (edition effective August 7, 2026), which dates each application pillar separately: HCM, FMS/ESA/SCM, Campus Solutions (CS), CRM, ELM and Portal Solutions. "PeopleSoft CRM, CS, ELM, FMS, ESA, SCM and HCM moved to a Continuous Innovation model with the initial delivery of the 9.2 release", and Portal Solutions did so with 9.1. For those releases Oracle prints a "Premier Support Through At Least" date that "may be extended in one-year increments", and says it "currently has no plans to end Premier Support", so they are shown with no end of support. Oracle delivers them as numbered update images; the latest image per pillar is shown as the latest version.

Earlier releases (9.1 and older) have fixed dates published as months; Oracle states that "unless otherwise noted, each stage of support is provided through the last day of the month". All of them are past Premier and, where it existed, Extended Support. Individual 9.2 products that Oracle no longer supports are listed in its Continuous Innovation Exceptions Table. EPM 9.1 is shown as ended without a day because the policy gives two different Premier dates for it (the release row and the exceptions table).

PeopleTools, the technology layer under every PeopleSoft application, is not dated in this policy (Oracle points to My Oracle Support article KA585). CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog lists CVE-2026-35273, a missing-authentication flaw in PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools (affected versions 8.61 and 8.62) flagged as used in ransomware campaigns.

Oracle PeopleSoft release and support pattern

Of the 38 release lines tracked, 32 are past end of life and 6 are still within support; 1 is marked end of life without a published date. No end-of-life date is currently published for the 6 supported lines. Upstream also publishes an extended-support phase for 22 lines, shown in the table above.

Computed from the tracked release data at every build — the figures above are the dates in the table, restated, not an editorial estimate.

What does Oracle PeopleSoft end of life mean for your organization?

When a version of Oracle PeopleSoft 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 PeopleSoft 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 PeopleSoft 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.

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 PeopleSoft versions. This is a bridge, not a permanent solution — plan your migration in parallel.
