Bob, I am running Widows7, 32-bit for Legacy 8: and my Legacy8.lic is in C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData and the main program folder under C:\Program Files is Legacy8 not Legacy. and these are from the default installation.
I believe the location of the main program is what is different: Widows7, 32-bit for Legacy 8: The main file is in the folder C:\Program Files\Legacy8\ Windows7, 64-bit for Legacy 8: The main file is in the folder C:\Program Files386\Legacy8\ I don’t have this so am not sure of the program folder’s name.

Earlier version was sent without Bold emphasis Thanks again to all. Renaming the Legacyx.lic file does the trick. But a few clarifying notes: Windows7, 32-bit and 64-bit for Legacy7: The Legacy7.lic file is in the folder C:\Program Files\Legacy\ Widows7, 32-bit for Legacy 8: The Legacy8.lic file is in the folder C:\Program Files\Legacy\ Windows7, 64-bit for Legacy 8: The Legacy8.lic file is in the folder C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData These values are based on default installation paths.

Delete or move your Legacy8.lic file found in Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData The complex answer. It was possible to install Legacy 7 more than once on the same computer for the same user by 1) Renaming the installation file to LegacyNew.exe and then choosing a different folder to install to. This was possible because the user settings were kept in the Program Folder - which is why on later versions of Windows, Legacy 7 could not be installed to the Windows Programs Folder. Legacy 8 is different. Legacy 8 by default is installed to the Windows Program Folder. The Legacy 8 user settings are not kept in the Program folder but in ...<username>/Documents/Legacy Family Tree/_AppData The result is that even if you rename the installation folder as LegacyNew.exe and choose to install it into a different folder, the USER SETTINGS are STILL in the same folder - so it will open knowing your deluxe status and your preferred family file etc etc. So, you can have ANOTHER user account on your computer and switch to that to run the same installation of Legacy with different settings. Two people who use the same computer but sign in with different user accounts can have completely different settings for Legacy 8 though Legacy 8 has only been installed once on the computer. Or you can just delete, move or rename the Legacy8.lic file to revert to standard. Renaming it is probably the easiest. You need to close and reopen Legacy. Note that beta testers can switch on and off the Deluxe version of the program while within the program but it isn't envisaged that ordinary users would want to do that. Cathy -- Russell G. Strong P.
