Not exactly.... you will need to update their existing db tables to include any new fields and there are a few table additions too. Certainly can be done if you are confident in your abilities. Be sure to backup the DB first and also do it frequently during the conversion process. You will also need to update a good number of addon modules for them to work correctly.

 

It may be better to leave as is and wait for phpVMS v7 to release. It shouldn't be much longer. Of course, they will need PHP 7 on their host.

 

As is stated in the 5.5.2 readme file - "... This version is not for the faint of heart. If you have modules and other addons that worked on older releases of phpVMS they will most likely break in this version. ..."

It can be a LOT of work - especially if one is using a bunch of addon modules. Careful planning is key. Backup the existing site and DB first. Install 5.5.2 as a separate site. Install the 5.5.2 compatible modj,es and edit older modules to work with 5.5.2. Test the 5.5.2 site.... test again... and a third time. Then move/merge the 2.x DB with the 5.5.2 DB.

 

Do site and DB backups every step along the way. Good luck!
