FlameRobin is just a client app. It has its own way of "registering databases" but Firebird itself doesn't "register databases". If v.2.5 was running, it would create databases (and restore backups) as ODS 11.2. In order to read and report the ODS of any database, FR would read the header page of the database via the API, the same as isql or any other client app does.

I suppose you do understand that just opening a database of lower ODS with a higher server version doesn't change it to the higher ODS.
