Getting Rid of Duplicate Resources

Neil Cadle

I'm sorry if this question has been asked/answered already; I just don't have time to look through all the posts right now.

After cross-grading from Logos 3 to Logos 4, is it safe to delete the resources in the Logos 3 folder to save space?  Are there any previously purchased resources (say, not part of a collection) that would NOT be in the Logos 4 resource folder?  Or when I installed Logos 4, did everything I purchased in the past get installed in the Logos 4 folder?

Thanks for any advice that comes my way!

Before deleting your Logos 3 installation, you should run L3 and choose Tools > Account Management and step through the wizard to synchronize your licenses. Then Logos 4 should be able to automatically download any resources you had in L3 that were not installed when you first installed L4.

Als if you're brand new at L4, you might experience somewhat of a buyer's remorse as you go through the learning curve to get used to the different way it operates from L3. Some people have wanted to keep L3 around as a security blanket while they're learning L4, in case you really need to get something done for sermon prep and haven't yet learned how to do it in L4 and don't have time to learn right now.

Also there are still some features which were in L3 which have not yet been implemented in L4 but are coming within the next quarter or so (I hear that Personal Book Builder isn't coming until October). See the list here: http://www.logos.com/4/missingfeatures. If any of those were vital features you relied on in L3, you might want to keep L3 around a bit longer (if you've got the disk space) until L4 reaches feature parity with L3. It's really mostly there and in so many ways is much better, but some people do miss printing -- that's a biggie. It'll be coming back soon.
