Suraj,
I dont speak for Oracle, just my thoughts
Yearly maintenance fee is based on Server licensing price,type of support(Silver,Gold etc), consolidation discounts etc
it depends on your Oracle tech support Manager. But ultimately its your responsibility to keep track of your licenses,support renewals etc.
If you dont pay the maintenance fee on time,your support may lapse.But again ,it depends on your relation with Oracle.They might be able to restitute the support for a fee(back dated) or free(depends on situation).
Yes,Oracle will convert your existing valid licenses to its equivalent supported licensing structure .ie you dont completely loose your existing licenses's worth.
For the Best and Correct advice,you will need to contact your local Oracle license manager. But we have had some bad experiences and had to fight our way through to save tons of money.
