Going from Kentico 5.0 to 7.0
Is it possible to go from 5.0 to 7.0 directly, or do you have to upgrade through each of the versions prior to 7.0 to complete the conversion process.

Hello,

Unfortunately the upgrades are not cumulative, you will have to upgrade through each version (5.0 -> 5.5 -> 5.5r2 -> 6.0 -> 7.0) separately. Let me know if you need further help.

Regards,
Josef Dvorak

What kind of customizations do you have? How many pages? Images? Documents? etc to you have? There might be other options vs. going through all the upgrades and still have your existing site.
