We are in the process of planning an upgrade from Wildfire 5 to Creo 2. I was wondering what horror stories or gotcha's other companies have run into, if any, when performing an upgrade.
Thanks in advance.

M10 to M20 to M30 to M40 to M50 to resolve successive new issues.
M50 resulted in unexplainable multiple crashes daily over several users.
Back to M40. At least it is relatively stable.
However, the problems with showing datums and gtols on drawings and KEEPING them there at printing and checking in to WT have been insurmountable.
We can’t figure if it is bugs, network or lack of education on our part on the new Creo philosophy of gtol creation/showing.
Some here have resorted to using old old old symbols of gtols and datums that we had hand created back in – what ProE 16?- because we just can’t manage to create these things reliably.
Have you considered one of the later versions of Creo, like M080 (or soon M090)? I have heard theM050 and before hada LOT of issues that were resolved in M070 and M080...
We are in the process of testing Creo so I cannot yet speak for my company. I have heard very mixed reviews from admins and users of other companies, so can anyone verify from their experience that M080 is much more stable? (or not...?)
We have been running M060 for quite awhile and the crashes are few and far between. That with about 80 licenses and about 200 users. Hoping to go to M090 after the first of the year.
If you're using Windchill, stay away from M080. There's some kind of save bug where objects that should be saved aren't getting saved. Sorry I can't be more specific, we don't use Windchill here so I'm not familiar, only seen it mentioned on the various forums.
Is you make files read only and you save or checkin it really messes with some stuff. That's why we are waiting for M090 hoping that bug is fixed. Also need to upgrade for our 10.2 update.
