I can't seem to access anything with LOGOS 5?  I have the Gold Package... I'm not getting a good feeling about this?

    Hi Juno - and welcome to the forums

    I can't seem to access anything with LOGOS 5?  I have the Gold Package... I'm not getting a good feeling about this?

    Please provide more details - does the program not start, can you see resources, etc?

    But Logos 5 is no longer supported. The core Logos 6 engine is freely available at https://www.logos.com/install and I would recommend you upgrade to it if possible.

    I can get into the website, log in, etc… but to do any of the functions I’m seeing all kinds of weird pages I’ve never seen before.


    So I’m assuming Logos 6 is a financial upgrade as well? 


    This entire program has been a challenge since day 1.  I’m convinced I was oversold on it :(.  I could never recommend this to someone to use.  I thought I did tons of research on this three years ago and this just adds to my frustration with the product :(

    No, the upgrade is free. I know there is a lot to learn to use all the features but have you watched the free introductory videos? If you know how to upload screen shots, we're pretty good at getting people up and running.

    You are running on a desktop or lap top computer, I assume from where you posted. Are you on a PC or a Mac? I ask because you mentioned website which is a different but related application.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Can you give some examples?

    If you are able to take screenshots and include them in a reply (using the paperclip icon) that would be helpful

    There are chargeable options but the core engine upgrade is free and available at the link I posted above

    When was the last time you were able to use it successfully?

    There is a God...Thanks for the TIP to download 6, it was very unclear on the website.  I've had 'videos' sent to me more then once...but it still seems to difficult to find a simple meaning of a word or verse.  It's a 'sin' for me to be hardly using this tool that apparently many of you think is so wonderful.

    You are welcome

    but it still seems to difficult to find a simple meaning of a word or verse.

    If you can give a specific example of what you are trying to do we might be able to help
