Technical Support


If you are a registered user of Legacy, you can get free technical support and notification of product upgrades.  

We offer support information in several ways.  You can contact us on-line, by phone or fax, or by letter.  Because it is easier to solve problems with software if you are sitting at your computer, support by phone is by far the most effective.

  To check out the QuickTip video on Support is just a click away, click here.

You can contact our Technical Support department for help with:
  • Program installation
  • Questions about how the program works.
  • Defective materials.
