PeopleTools Release and Support Timeline

Important Notes

1. PeopleTools is the technical backbone of PeopleSoft applications, continuously evolving to support new features, improve performance, and enable cloud integration. Tracking its version history offers valuable insights into how PeopleSoft has adapted over the years, from early client-server days to today’s cloud-ready architecture.
2. PeopleTools: Patches and platform certifications for a PeopleTools release will be provided until 12 months after the next release is made generally available or Oracle announces that no future releases will be made. Quarterly Critical Patch Updates (CPUs) containing critical PeopleTools fixes and required security updates will be patched for a PeopleTools release for up to 24 months after the next release is made generally available.

3. Beginning with PeopleTools 8.57, the general availability (GA) date is the date the release becomes available to all customers through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
4. The Lifetime Support Policy datasheet for Applications has been updated, reflecting all PeopleSoft continuous delivery releases remain supported for at least 10 years – now through at least 2037. Oracle continues commitment to a rolling 10 years of support for PeopleSoft. We have extended support annually for the last six years, and will continue to do so until Oracle’s strategy and support for PeopleSoft changes.
