Hi Chris,

You can definitely upgrade from WorkflowGen 5.4.0 to [version 7.16.3](https://discuss.workflowgen.com/t/workflowgen-7-16-3/) (unless you’re using Oracle database - see below).

Just carefully follow the instructions in the [WorkflowGen Upgrade Guide](https://docs.advantys.com/workflowgen-upgrade-guide/). Since you’re upgrading from a pretty old version, you’ll have to apply all of the changes in the [Update the web configuration file](https://docs.advantys.com/workflowgen-upgrade-guide/workflowgen-upgrade#update-the-web-configuration-file) section, and you’ll have to run the [database update scripts](https://docs.advantys.com/workflowgen-upgrade-guide/workflowgen-upgrade#upgrade-the-workflowgen-database). Note that Oracle database is no longer supported as of WorkflowGen 7.16.0. If you’re using Oracle and want to keep using it, you can upgrade to [version 7.15.6](https://discuss.workflowgen.com/t/workflowgen-7-15-6/1505) instead, but we do recommend that our clients using Oracle migrate to MS SQL Server. In this case, follow the instructions in the [version 7.15.6 Upgrade Guide](https://docs.advantys.com/workflowgen-upgrade-guide/v/7.15.6/).

You’ll also have to make the changes in the [Important Notes Before Upgrading](https://docs.advantys.com/workflowgen-upgrade-guide/important-notes-before-upgrading) section as well.

Hope your upgrade goes well!

Regards,  
Quentin
