WinCC V5.0 SP2 is not available from Siemens. The complexity of the migration from V5.0 to V6.2 is dependent upon the V5.0 configuration. The first thing is the database changed from Sybase to MicroSoft SQL Server 2000. You have to retain the Sybase data base for the migration tool to work. The next issue was with a non-Siemens driver. Siemens dropped the AB, Modicon and other third party drivers and opted for OPC as the preferred driver. You have to install an OPC driver and move all of the tags from the third party driver to the OPC driver before you migrate. I have attached the Migration Section of the WinCC Information system for V6.2 for your reveiw. Version 7 has been released but I have not migrated any V5 or V6 projects yet.
