I validated that this is expected behavior to have an empty value in the software model table view for end of life date. It's most likely left over from ITSM Asset Management.

If you want a table view of your software model and respective lifecycle dates I would create a report using the report builder (View / Run) and JOIN the cmdb_software_product_model and sam_sw_model_lifecycle tables.

It's probably because Adobe hasn't released a EOL date for these software models yet.

Description 

On the software model table (cmdb_software_product_model) there are 2 OOTB field GA Release date (ga_release_date) and End of life date (end_of_life_date). What are they used for? 

Resolution 

These are legacy fields and no longer used by software asset management professional(SAMP). In SAMP our content team maintains lifecycle data for major products. When a DMAP is selected for the model the lifecycle is automatically populated.

In SAMP this is how we manage lifecycle information:
