IMPORTANT: Importing data from Creative Banks 4 to Creative Banks 5 does not break Creative Banks 4 workflow. We allow you to run both during the transition period, to make the process as easy as possible. We ask that you migrate off Creative Banks 4 in a timely fashion once you've tested and made sure all is well, since running both for an extended period isn't supported under our licensing standard.
