Thank you for the links, I have noticed that the upgrade link covers the upgrade process from 6.3 to 7.0x. However, In my case I need to go from 5.2 to 7.0x, my question, is the process still the same for both cases? Can I upgrade from 5.2--->7.0x without going to ver 6.0x first? I also noticed there is no mention of the activiation key? Do I need a new activiation key? or can I use the existing key?

Upgrade to version 7.0.5....There is still a lot of severe bug with 7.1 and 7.2.
