Alexa, If you needed Legacy 8 to read your file then you had to have previously downloaded Legacy 8 and converted your Legacy 7.5 file to the new format which takes many steps. It is far from automatic.
Legacy isn’t capable of automatically updating. There isn’t even an option for this. The only way you can update is to do it manually either by going to the Legacy Home tab and clicking on the update button over on the right or by downloading the update from the website.

Mar 17 I'd like to know how to prevent automatic updates to Legacy 8. I've only had the program for about two weeks, am still learning it, and a week ago, 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 so much that I couldn't transfer my old file to a new computer after installing with my Legacy 7.5 CD. 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 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 without my permission and has made dramatic changes to the program. Please Help!!! Thanks.
