    Yes, you need to use two steps when upgrading from older version than 3.70.

    Hey Kamil, just out of curiosity (assuming you are not going to write e merged upgrade kit) would you prefer :

    a/ 3.10 -> 3.70 and 3.70 -> 5.00 or
    b/ 3.10 -> 4.00 and 4.00 -> 5.00

    Do not know... :-) we have no NAV 5.00 in Czech and it means I do not know if the upgrade toolkit is working better for 3.70-5.00 or 4.00 to 5.00. I think that it is just about personal preference. It depends on how big is the change between 3.10 and 3.70 - because I never do this upgrade, I do not know how much the structure changed in this.

    it means that it depends if the similarity is

    1) 3.1
    3.70
    4.00
    5.00

    or

    2) 3.1
    3.70---4.00----5.00

    In Case 1 I will prefer 3.1-4.00-5.00, in case 2 3.1-3.7-5.00 to prevent too big difference jump in one step. But for someone other it can be better to do in case 2 upgrade 3.1-4.00-5.00 because it means that after step 1 most of the work is already done... 8)
