Moving to Wing 6 from earlier versions should be easy. The first time you start Wing 6, it will automatically convert your preferences from any older version of Wing and place them into your User Settings Directory.

Wing 6 can be installed and used side by side with older versions of Wing and operates completely independently. Projects from earlier versions of Wing will be converted and opened as untitled, and should be saved to a new file name since older versions of Wing cannot open Wing 6 projects.

Licensing

Wing Personal is now free. Perpetual licenses for Wing Pro 5 and earlier that are not covered by Support+Upgrades must be upgraded before they can be activated for Wing Pro 6. This can be done in the online store.
