6.3 had 254 characters too in the Login Name. If I recollect right that change happened between 5.x to 6.0
Cyberhut, another consideration you may need to account for is the version of your current database. It may or may not be compatible with the next release you want to jump to, so if you really need someone who has gone through your exact same path to comment on how they went about it, it may help if you let the list know what database and version you are on and what OS and its version you are currently on. Unless you were looking for a really broad and a very generic roadmap..

The 5 to 6.3 updated license format (You send your license files to Remedy through the Support Web and they send you back a file with both the 5 and 6.3 formats in it). This also went through the users and changed the way the passwords were encrypted. The version 6.3 to 7.1 upgrade changed all the standard fields that hold a login (Submitter, Last Modified By, Login Name) to be 254 characters, and moved the license info from the license file into the database.
