Mika, To use Families on your iPad an iPhone, you need to get the app from the store and then go to http://www.telgen.co.uk/families/ and get the Families Sync program for you computer. That's what converts and syncs the databases. It's not automatic. You'll find more directions and videos on

Otso, Yes the upgrade to version 9 removed your version 8 shortcuts on your taskbar as it's a new program. Just pin it again. No you can't use the customer codes for 8 for v9 or vice versa. They're really your proof of purchase. If you actually mean can you use the same database/family

Re: [LegacyUG] Can I have both Legacy 7 and Legacy 9 running concurrently (different data file)?

Another 'solution' to having Legacy 8 Deluxe (NOT v7 or 7.5) and Legacy 9 running on the same computer is to rename the family file (.fdb) within the installed Legacy v9, then install your v8 with its v8 Customer Number. This may require extraction of the "v8" files from the latest v8 backup

Re: [LegacyUG] User Key and Version compability

Hi Otto, If you have v8 full key then you are likely using v8 Deluxe. If you have the v9 key it would suggest that you have already purchased version 9. Version 9 offers some upgrades and fixes to version 8, so I would suggest simply doing the upgrade. The data files are not compatible

I renamed my Legacy8 folders before installing v9 so I can now run both v8 and v9 concurrently (after naming the v8 files back to the original). Of course the databases are different as v9 has converted the database to the new version - however, I had made copies of the database as well. Some

I agree with Robert, and taking it even further (sorry!), I disagree with the Sherry's statement (below). While it is true that pretty much every program will install over an existing version for "updating," this is not the case for "upgrading." Updates for v.8 should install in the Legacy 8

Why don't you install 8 on a flash drive and remove it and then install 9 on your hard drive., then you can run them both at the same time. Ernie You will always have neighbors, but not parents! On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 9:41 AM, Robert57P_gmail wrote: > Sherry, > > While

I’m sure this has a simple procedure in Legacy, but I haven’t understood how to document it clearly – and without merely putting text into a Note. A still living male person (my related records kept Private, of course) changed his surname from (say) SMITH to JONES about 10 years ago, and
