We faced a similar dilemma last year.  I wrote a letter to some of our 
clients who were still running on Minivend 4 catalogs, informing them 
that support for MV would be limited, and why it was in their best 
interest to upgrade (namely, because they could get the slick new 
interface and it would be easier (read "cheaper") to maintain their 
servers with the new versions. As a result, we lost one client (who 
wasn't that critical anyway) and performed three MV -> IC upgrades.

However, if they're not willing to pay, I'd leave them until they are 
in need of something that the new version would offer.
