I was just wondering when and how Logos would release the new 2020 update of the New American Standard Bible (NASB). Will it be a free download or update? Grateful for any information.
Will it be a free download or update?
In all likelihood, no. If a resource is updated and the publisher considers the updates part of the "same" resource, then updates are automatic and free.
In this case, this is a completely new resource altogether. You would have to purchase it, and it would appear as a new resource in your library.

No idea. Typically resources go on "pre-pub" before they are released in Logos. That process can be short or long. The resource is not currently in pre-pub... take that as you will.
It is not unheard of for a resource to jump into production quickly, which might happen here. On the other hand, Bibles probably take much more time than some other resources to convert, add RI's, etc.
Thank you, JT.
Occasionally they also just... appear, already Live.
Thank you, but where? I don't see it Live anywhere.

It's here in Pre-Pub https://www.logos.com/product/198302/the-new-american-standard-bible-2020-update
Thank you, Ted!
VERY IMPORTANT! WILL THIS BE A STAND ALONE OR WILL MY 1995 DISAPPEAR?
Sorry for the caps but they are for emphasis.
I just found out that The NASB20 is in production to be published by Logos sometime soon. The price is only $6.99.
Glad everyone is happy about 2020, but I would be twice as happy if they fixed 1977 with notes and highlighting (corresponding) I use this version more than any other- duplicating hilites across other bibles is a pain.

That would require reverse interlinear functionality
I suggest you enter this as a feature request at https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-resource-updates and encourage people to vote for it
Any idea when NASB 2020 will come out? Usually, the pre-production green line indicates how far along they are, but there is no indication when will it take place.
A couple days ago another company stated that they had yet to receive the tagged text, so I would suspect Logos may be waiting for a greek hebrew tagged text to process it. As I would suspect numerous people would be asking about when it would be tagged if it was released without it. The light is at the end of the tunnel just hold on a few more days...

Thanks. That’s good news!
I was told just before L9 launch it would probably be a few more months.
Wow, that's means sometime next year.
If it took Lockman Foundation 25 years to produce this update, I believe it is reasonable to give Faithlife a couple of months to tag the Reverse Interlinear.
Sorry, I did not notice you had responded to my inquiry. Based on your response, would it be possible to get an approximate date for the release?
Thank you for your response.
Is there any update on when the NASB 2020 will be available?
Why is it taking so long?

It is my opinion that the NAS20 has been given low priority. I don't care anyway. I have read so many negative things about this update that I will cancel my order the moment Logos releases it. Try waiting for the LSB (Legacy Standard Bible) that will be finished in the fall. As for Logos, who knows when they will release it after that.

Why not cancel it now, then?

I don't know all the details, but I heard that late April is our current estimate if all goes well.
I'm sorry it's taken so long.
Thanks Phil,
Hopefully, Faithlife can achieve, or even better, beat that timeframe.
Do you have any idea why it's taken so long?
Cheers
I have read so many negative things about this update
I read about some of the included alterations, and I am probably 30/70 in the "not happy" column. There may be some helpful updates (I sent them about half-a-dozen or more typos plus some needed [my opinion] translation improvements), but making the "most literal English version" into a "more reader friendly version" is probably going to lose Lockman the only solid readership they had. Granted, most people prefer easy over legit, but becoming "one of the crowd", especially in a Bible market saturated with "easy-reading" Bibles, seems like a successful suicide mission. I was looking forward to my fave Bible getting better--now, I'm probably not going to pick it up until it's been rolled into base packages after the new car smell has worn off.
