I asked a similar question and got the answer that this is a major move and should be done in steps.
First to 1.5.6 and then to 2.0 and so on... looking carefully at the release notes and instructions.
Along the way, there are changes that have to be made to the security database.
It is not a one time back up and restore.
And, assuming you are using Windows, the fbclient.dll at each client has to have access to MicroSoft redistributables as the latest version was compiled using VC++. So the clients have to have vcredist_x86 or vcredist_64 (for 64 bit Windows OS) run so it places the right dlls in the correct locations and makes them available to the fbclient.dll.
Hope this helps.
