What the end of support means
- After the final end date the software keeps running, but the vendor no longer ships fixes or security patches. Known vulnerabilities stay open, and compliance or cyber-insurance requirements may treat it as unsupported software.
- Extended Support extends security fixes for a limited time for a fee. Treat it as a bridge to an upgrade.
Upgrade paths
Upgrade to a supported Oracle Database version
Staying on the same product usually means the least retraining. Check the upgrade path and system requirements in the vendor documentation; some upgrades must go through an intermediate version.

Extended Support is listed for this version (paid). It typically covers security fixes only and is meant as a bridge, not a destination.
