That depends on what you mean by "support."
It's almost certainly possible to run the binaries on CentOS, but if you
need any technical support from the vendor of that application, they
might not provide it. Your first step should be to talk to them directly
and find out what level of support is available for CentOS. Then decide
whether or not that's a deal breaker.
The above answer is right-on. From a technical perspective, you can
probably expect the 3rd party software to work exactly the same on
RHEL and CentOS (barring some implausible edge cases), however your
3rd party vendor may refuse to support you at all if you're using
something that's not on their supported platforms list.
That is assuming you're using mostly base CentOS or only repositories
that are known to not conflict with base. See the CentOS wiki for
details.
If they sign off on it, get it in writing (or save and print off that
email).
Even if they do, you should still be using a UAT environment to satisfy
yourself and provide due diligence.
