Hello, I adopted an existing Kirby 2.0.5 installation and have to migrate/upgrade to the current Kirby 5 release.

I already set up a Kirby 5 test environment on a subdomain, so the technical prerequisites are fulfilled.

But I wonder where the legacy Kirby 2 license is, as I read that purchasing the current license is cheaper when bringing an older license.

There is no `site/config` folder … any hints?

I think for that version would need to purchase a new liscence, i dont believe tthere is an upgrade path from version 2.x to 5.

If you log into to [Login | Kirby Hub](https://hub.getkirby.com/login) which will need the orginal purcahse email and order ID, it will show you your upgrade options.
