Hi Gary,
The Free Standard version can be downloaded and installed over the top of
your existing installation. This will update Legacy to the latest version.
And when you install over the top of your existing installation, you won't
loose any of your customizations and your deluxe number will be saved. When
you install, the Legacy6.LIC (your license number) file is not deleted and
therefore when Legacy is finished installing the "Standard" version and
starts, it is actually the Deluxe version.
I keep a copy of the Legacy6.exe ("standard" free) version on a memory stick
to install on other computers. If they already have Legacy Deluxe, I
install the updated software and they now have the newest, but Deluxe
version.
If you have any questions as to this process, please let me know.
Glen

Sherry,
Thanks for your personal response. This may not be appropriate for the list
but I'll start here and you can reply off list if you choose.
>From your following response I guess I need to ask HOW Legacy downloads.
Most updates or downloads I'm used to working with download to an area I
specify (and a more descriptive name of the file if I so choose) and from
that area I then click the downloaded file to open it and perform the actual
installation, upgrade/update. The way I got the new version of Legacy was
from clicking the UPDATE area on the Legacy Home Tab then the "check for
updates" option. If there is an update available then the "download and
install now" area is clicked.
The Legacy screen then goes away and the download starts. Hours later (in my
situation anyway!) the Legacy screen reappears. In this scenario though
nothing was downloaded to my specified download area, nor have I had a
chance to direct the download to that specified area.
Using your suggestion outlined below how would using someone else's computer
with broadband access help. Wouldn't they have to have Legacy installed to
get the update. I guess I'm missing the details in understanding how Legacy
updates itself and how your suggestion would help me any.
