How it works

1

Purchase tokens

Buy file tokens below. Each token covers one file migration — Excel or Access. Secure checkout by Stripe.

2

Download the app

Download LegacyLeaps for Windows. It installs in seconds — no .NET runtime needed, nothing to configure.

3

Point at your files

Select a folder of legacy Office files. LegacyLeaps scans first, converts compatible files into a separate package, and stops before VBA could be stripped.

4

Get results

Converted copies, preserved originals, and compatibility reports are saved to your chosen output folder. Source files remain untouched.

Windows 10 support ended October 2025

Legacy .xls and .mdb files that worked for years are breaking on Windows 11 with 64-bit Office. VBA macros crash without PtrSafe declarations. Access databases fail when Jet 4.0 providers are missing. Every day you wait is another day your critical business files are at risk.

Your files stay on YOUR computer

LegacyLeaps runs 100% locally. No cloud upload. No data collection. Your files never leave your network — not even for a second.

System requirements

LegacyLeaps is a self-contained Windows desktop app. No internet required — your files never leave your machine.

Operating System

Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11. Both x64 architectures supported.

No .NET Install Needed

LegacyLeaps ships as a self-contained executable. No runtime installation, no dependencies, no admin rights required.

Optional: Access Database Engine 2016

Enables full .mdb to .accdb binary conversion. Without it, LegacyLeaps still scans, generates fix scripts, and creates reports — but cannot perform the binary format conversion itself.
