Yes, you need to install each major version in turn. Install 2.6.21, open your
books and make sure everything is as it should be. Make a backup copy, then
install the last of the 3. series. Open your data files, make sure everthing
is ok, then save the file (this will update the data to 3.whatever). Make
another backup copy. Then install the last of the 4. series and open the file
you saved from version 3. Make sure everything is ok, then save it again and
make another backup. Now install the current 5. version. Open the just saved
version and check for problems. Then save it,  You should now be up to date.
