Usually not, no. Structures, schematics, etc., improve as Legacy improves. If an updated version of Legacy does not employ a new structure or schematic in data organization, then yes, you can do that. I would *not* count on being able to do so.
But, if going from Legacy 5 to someone who has Legacy 3 for example is desired, the person with legacy 5 should make a Gedcom and let the person with Legacy 3 import the Gedcom (preferably to a new family file at first before merging).
