Sophos iView v1?

I believe it is a reinstall if you want to go to V2 for now. Doubtful that V1 will continue to get dev time.

Two months have passed, any changes/news on this topic?

Nope, same answers still apply.

Sophos iView v1 customers having a paid-for iView license (1TB or higher) and a valid support contract can contact Sophos Customer Care to request for an equivalent Sophos iView v2 license. You can deploy iView v2 (virtual or software appliance) in addition to the existing iView v1 deployment.

I have unverified/rejected the previously marked solution as it did not answer the questions asked:
fate of iView v1 and updates
upgrade path or mechanism for v1->v2

Certainly the information regarding the availability of a v2 license to those with paid-for v1 licenses and support contracts is valuable - and I am open to the idea of additionally marking it when/if the original questions are answered.

From the Sophos iView v2 (November 2015) release notes:

"Sophos iView v1 Customers
Migration from Sophos iView v1 to iView v2 will be available in coming months, and is not supported in
this release."

Good to know.

If you have a valid support contract for iView v1 you can approach Sophos to request an equivalent iView v2 license. What you referenced from the release notes has been removed.
