Synchronize license a second time after a reinstall?

This is a little complicated...

I did my annual hard drive clean up (wipe and reformat) and after reinstalling Logos4 I noticed after a few days that the latest Theological Journals that I purchased (vols. 10, 11, & 12) last year were not available. I assumed they did not download from the Logos4 server, so I did the scan command from within Logos4 to a backup of the Journal files that I had on my hard drive.

On restart Logos4 rebuilt my library, so I assumed that they were "downloaded". Today I wanted to search the latest Journals and discovered that they were not available. So I reinstalled Logos3 and re-synchronized my license file. On restart Logos4 recognized the latest Journals.

That doesn't seem right to me. I would think that the Logos4 license file would not need to be updated (synchronized from Logos3) again after a reinstall.

Bill,

That doesn't seem right either. The scan would not pick up files unless they were unlocked, and you state that L4 indexed what it found. But are you sure it found the Journals and not some other files? When it "recognised" the journals on restart are you sure there was no download/indexing?

BTW there is a complicated history with the Galaxie journals. See http://community.logos.com/forums/t/11911.aspx and http://community.logos.com/forums/p/11577/91147.aspx

Dave,

Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure that the scan actually "downloaded" the files from my backup folder. I should have checked, but didn't.

My only concern is that since there are so many Journals, they are a little hard to keep track of. I could have easily overlooked this and not realized that I was missing my latest purchase.

And still seems odd that I would need to re-synchronize my license from within Logos3 after a reinstall of Logos4 and "scan".
