To avoid potential risks, we recommend that you promptly **uninstall** the currently installed Firebird version and switch to the latest version. Please then install the following version: **[[https://www.firebirdsql.org/download-file?file=https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/releases/download/v5.0.4/Firebird-5.0.4.1812-0-windows-x64.exe | Firebird 5.0.4 für Windows x64]]** ===== Automated Migration ===== Automated database migration is available starting with version **[[pam|PAM 3.1.2]]**. First, make sure that **Firebird 2.5 32-bit** has been uninstalled and that **[[https://www.firebirdsql.org/download-file?file=https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/releases/download/v5.0.4/Firebird-5.0.4.1812-0-windows-x64.exe | Firebird 5.0.4 für Windows x64]]** is installed. To migrate your material databases from Firebird 2.5 to Firebird 5, please use the wizard in PAM Material Database Management. To do this, click **Databases** in the menu and then **Update to new Firebird version**. {{ :installation_und_deinstallation:de_pam_auto_mig_001.png?nolink |}} Then enter the administrator password for the user **sysdba**. {{ :installation_und_deinstallation:de_pam_auto_mig_002.png?nolink |}} You will now see the databases listed in PAM that require migration.
