## Installation
**Caution:** It is possible to upgrade the old Part-DB databases. Anyhow, the migrations that will be made, are not compatible with the old Part-DB versions, so you must not use the old Part-DB versions with the new database, or the DB could become corrupted. Also after the migration it is not possible to go back to the old database scheme, so make sure to make a backup of your database beforehand.
