Why was Augustus accepted as a tyrant when Caesar was not?

Caesar murdered was the result of him destroying the Republic and became the sole leader or tyrant. Why is it then that his heir managed to do it without getting killed like Caesar?

For one thing, Caesar claimed the title of dictator for life, perverting the forms of the Roman government which allowed for the dictatorship for brief periods of time in emergency situations; many Romans still remembered Sulla's unconstitutional dictatorship, and he stepped down voluntarily.

Augustus, however, was careful to preserve the outward forms of the republic. He called himself first citizen and made a show of consulting the senate, even while wielding de facto dictatorial power after his assumption of the tribunician potesta.
 
Plus, Caesar left most of his enemies alive to plot his murder, while Augustus had them proscribed and killed.

So, the short answer for the differences between Caesar and Augustus: valuing appearances and ruthless practicality.
