Alexa, The program does not automatically update. The only way it will update is if you tell it to. There are two ways to update. You can go to the Legacy Home tab and over on the right you will see if there is an update available. You can then click on the update if you want to install it. Or, you can update on our website.
Neither Legacy 7.5 nor Legacy 8.0 does automatic updates.

I'd like to know how to prevent automatic updates/upgrades to Legacy 8. I've only had the program for about two weeks, am still learning it, and tonight, I attempted to add more people and discovered there has been an update that has made dramatic changes to the interface (ribbon?)! I want don't want automatic updates. How can I stop them? I was using Legacy 7.5 which I like so much better, but somewhere along the line it updated (or upgraded) so much that I couldn't transfer my old file to a new computer. My old computer broke before I could make a new gedcom, and my new computer couldn't read my file that I had stored on an external hard drive because even though I have the program disk for Legacy 7.5, the updates/upgrades are no longer available online, and the file was no longer compatible with Legacy 7.5. I had to buy Legacy 8 to read my file. Now the darn thing is already updating/upgrading without my permission and has made dramatic changes to the program. Please Help!!! Thanks.
