How to download a Legacy update step-by-step

Updated over 3 months ago

Please temporarily disable your Internet security (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-adware, popup blockers, etc.) as these programs can block the download or remove components necessary for Legacy to run. The following steps are written for Internet explorer, which works quite well with our Web site.


  1. Please use your favorite internet browser and connect to https://legacyfamilytree.com/download-update.

  2. Fill in your e-mail address, no other information is needed, and then click Next Step.

  3. At the next page, click the button that says Click Here to Download.

  4. In the File Download - Security Warning box click Run. The update file will begin downloading. It may take several minutes. Do not cancel the download; let it complete itself.

  5. If you receive a message “the publisher of this program could not be verified” click Run.

  6. The Update screen will open. Click on Next.

  7. When the update is complete, click the Finish button and Legacy will start.
