    You cannot upgarde NAV 4.0 to 2016 directly,

    first you need to updgrade NAV 4.0 to 2009 R2 then 2009 R2 to 2015

    then 2015 to 2016

    Follow official MSDN sources:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../dn271649(v=nav.90).aspx

    As other members replied, first upgrade to 2009 version:

    sl-dynamics.blogspot.ru/.../upgrade-from-nav-5-to-nav-2009-sp1.html

    Indeed, do A LOT of test.

    There's two step to achieve this.

    1. NAV 4.0 -> NAV 2009 R2 -> NAV 2013 -> NAV 2016

    2. NAV 4.0 -> NAV 2009 R2 -> NAV 2015 -> NAV 2016

    You many whatever you like. :)
