Logos 7 and SDA packages

Dear Folk,

I have questions about Logos 7 upgrades. I currently have Logos 6 and SDA Bronze.

1. Am I correct that if I subscribe to Logos Now, I get all L7 features, but only while I am subscribed. As soon as I drop the membership after a year, I would loose all L7 features?

2. Am I correct that some features such as NT use of OT passages are only available in a base package for L7. That would mean I would need to buy a NEW SDA Bronze or higher for L7 in order to get those features?

3. If I buy Logos Now and a Library. I'd get all the L7 features; but again, I'd lose those if I unsubscribed after a year? What is a Library; where do I see the choices of a library?

4. If I get a Full Feature Upgrade to L7, I still do not get some of the features that are labeled as "available only in a base package"?

Thanks,

Mike

    Yes, that is correct. Here is the link explaining Logos Now. https://www.logos.com/now 

    . Am I correct that some features such as NT use of OT passages are only available in a base package for L7. That would mean I would need to buy a NEW SDA Bronze or higher for L7 in order to get those features?

    From what I have seen no. ( I could be wrong) If it is a part of Logos Now, then you should get all te features.

    If I buy Logos Now and a Library. I'd get all the L7 features; but again, I'd lose those if I unsubscribed after a year?

    If you buy a library it is yours to keep. If you stop subscribing to Logos now, you always will lose the Logos now features, not your library.

    First, a note on vocabulary:

    • Library: A collection of resources, available in Starter, Bronze, Silver, etc.
    • Feature Set: A collection of features and datasets for use with any library. There are two: Starter and Full. You can purchase the Full Feature Set, or its included with a Logos Now subscription.
    • Base Package: A discounted bundle of a Library and a Feature Set.

    So:

    • You don't need to purchase a Library to get the features. You need just to purchase the Feature Set or subscribe to Logos Now.

    3. If I buy Logos Now and a Library. I'd get all the L7 features; but again, I'd lose those if I unsubscribed after a year?

    If you bought Logos Now and a Library, and later stopped subscribing to Logos Now, then you'd lose all your L7 features, but keep your Library.

    What is a Library; where do I see the choices of a library?

    See above.

    If I get a Full Feature Upgrade to L7, I still do not get some of the features that are labeled as "available only in a base package"?

    That's not correct (it's an error on product pages). It should read "available only in a Feature Set". Having said that, there are a handful of features only available in Logos Now, and not available in a Feature Set. They're marked clearly here: https://www.logos.com/compare/feature-sets (the column marked "Logos Cloud Feature Set" is what you get in Logos Now).

    1. So, if I buy Full Feature Set, I get all those features, even if they have an orange B before that says only available in a base package?

    2. My dynamic price for SDA Bronze lists the cost for a Full Feature upgrade at $160, plus $110 for the library. If I look at just the Full Feature Upgrade, it costs $214. Why the difference? A discount for buying the extra library items?

    1. Yes. 
    2. Yes. From memory, it's a 10% discount on the Library, and a 25% discount on the Feature Set when non-members buy both at the same time.

    There are four.  Logos Starter and Full and Verbum Starter and Full.  As far as I can see the match except for:

    Verbum 7 Full Feature Set

        Catholic Topical Index Dataset Documentation

        Saints Dataset Documentation

    Logos 7 Full Feature Set 

        LT271: Study the Bible with Logos: Jonah 1

        LT271: Study the Bible with Logos: Jonah 1 (Audio)

       LT271: Study the Bible with Logos: Jonah 1 (Videos)

    Question: Can we select which feature set we get?  I am not interested in another study on Jonah but I don't know what I would do with Saints Dataset documentation.
