If you are wanting to install the V5 upgrade on Linux (Or any system), then you only need to install the V5 upgrade as long as you have a valid v4 & v5 key. There is an article in the knowledge bas which covers this. Also how to install on Linux.

Check the following Wiki topics:

If you are trying to install the FH Upgrade V4 to V5 product then there is no need to install earlier versions.

If you do not have FH V5 yet, then I strongly advise you upgrade, because all the advice for installing FH in Crossover/Wine revolves around FH V5.
If you have FH V4 then buy the FH Upgrade V4 to V5 otherwise buy the Full V5 product.
