MQ Visual Edit v1.6.5 and MQ Visual Browse v1.6.5 were released on May 5th, 2015.
MQ Visual Edit v2.0.0 and MQ Visual Browse v2.0.0 were released on October 3rd, 2016.
Therefore, support for MQ Visual Edit v1.6.5 and MQ Visual Browse v1.6.5 will end on December 31st, 2016 for individual licenses. If your company has a support contract then support will continue as per the support contract.
MQ Visual Edit V1 and MQ Visual Browse V1 were originally written for MQSeries v5.2 then ported to WebSphere MQ 5.3, 6.0., 7.0, 7.0.1 and 7.1.
MQ Visual Edit V2 and MQ Visual Browse V2 are a complete rewrite of the products designed to handle all of the new features that IBM introduced in MQ V7, V8 & V9.
WebSphere MQ v7.1.0 end of service date is April 30th, 2017 (earlier releases of MQ are long out of support). Hence, I choose an end of service date for MQ Visual Edit v1.6.5 and MQ Visual Browse v1.6.5 to be December 31st, 2016 for individual licenses, so that users would phase out MQ Visual Edit v1.6.5 and MQ Visual Browse v1.6.5 while migrating off WebSphere MQ v7.1.0.
