Family First Payroll - Unable to upgrade at this time

SUGGESTED

We have several clients that their systems have modifications and will not be able to upgrade until the mods are written for the current version.  Our thoughts are to install the newer version of Sage so they can use it to process their payroll and journal the payroll entries into their live company.  Then once their mods are ready, reconvert so they are operating in one system.  Can we make a copy of their PRXXX folder in the new version, convert and then copy the PRXXX folder back in? 

I do realize that they will have to be very diligent with doing the journal entries so that the GL and Payroll match.

Thoughts...
