Before starting the migration:
- upgrade both the source and target websites to the latest available versions of the component
- backup the source and target websites
Migrate core functions with JUpgrade or SP Upgrade or similar so that user ids are preserved.

- jos_kunena_categories
- jos_kunena_config
- jos_kunena_config_backup
- jos_kunena_favorites

- jos_kunena_subscriptions_categories
- jos_kunena_thankyou
- jos_kunena_users
- jos_kunena_users_banned

If necessary, amend table prefixes by searching and replacing all of the old prefixes e.g. jos_ to j25_ inside the file(s).
Delete the 22 x Joomla 2.5 Kunena databases.
Import the Joomla 1.5 Kunena databases into Joomla 2.5.
