Download for Logos 4, or CD for Logos 3

A.A. van der Leij

Currently I have both L3 and L4 in use. I'm not ready yet to get rid of L3, although I see that this could happen in the future.

I would like to order some new products, but hen it says

If you're using Logos Bible Software 4, you must choose the DOWNLOAD option. The 3.0 CD-ROM or DVD-ROM requires version 3 of the Libronix Digital Library System.

To be honest, I do not like it at all that I only have a download option. What if after a few years the company goes bankrupt, or something like that. I like to have the product in my hands, so  I can always use it in the future. This may not be a modern way of working/thinking, but this is how I am.

Now, I do have L3, so I can without a problem install it. But once it is in L3, and I have synchronised my licenses, will it automatically download it in L4 when I open that version again, or could it be that I will only have access to it in L3?

Yes, if you install a product in L3 and then synchronize your licenses Logos 4 will get the update to the license file and download that resource into its directory.

Bob has hinted that there will be frequent DVD pressings for those who have limited bandwidth. So you'll probably be able to get a DVD backup copy sometime in the future.

Ok, but what about the other way around. If I have donwloaded something for L4, will I be able to get it in L3? If yes, how?

Yes, download it from the ftp website. specific links are often on the product pages.

So, when I got L4, I got a lot of free books extra. Can I download them into L3 as well?
And how do I do this the quickest. How do I know which books are not in L3, but are in L4, and do I have to look them all up on the website and manually download them? I have 1019 books in L4 and 'only' 898 in L3.

I would use the L3 update scripts on this page http://blog.logos.com/archives/2009/12/using_your_new_logos_4_resources_in_logos_3_or_logos_for_mac_1.html

I would also try this script http://www.logos.com/media/update/ResourceAutoUpdate.lbxupd

Thanks Kevin.

The second one didn't do much, but the first one works perfectly, only the KJV gives an error, so that one needs to be unchecked when you install everything, otherwise the upgrade doesn't go through, but hey, who needs the KJV nowadays [:)]
