Easton's Bible Dictionary and A Pocket Lexicon to the Greek New Testament in dynamic pricing

I notice even though I have Logos Basic three resources:

https://www.logos.com/product/41596/a-pocket-lexicon-to-the-greek-new-testament

https://www.logos.com/product/677/the-abridged-brown-driver-briggs-hebrew-english-lexicon-of-the-old-testament

Do not have the Green icon next to them reflecting ownership. Is this by design?

Theoretically because Easton's Bible Dictionary is sold in the Cultural Concepts Collection and the Pocket Lexicon is sold in the Greek Expansion studies, they could provide dynamic pricing discounts if you own them, and that would be kind of strange considering you got them for free? On the other hand, the free book of this month:

https://www.logos.com/product/51493/live-in-liberty-the-spiritual-message-of-galatians

provides dynamic discount towards packages like:

https://www.logos.com/product/128495/logos-7-lexham-press-library-expansion-xl

so there are examples of things working that way too.

Anyways, just curious if it's a bug on my end, or what everyone sees, or intentional. More a curiosity than anything.

On a perhaps related note, I noticed I am able to "buy" Logos Basic twice. I did so, but it didn't change anything I wrote above. It's also still available for purchase. It seems like after you purchase it once, you shouldn't be able to add it to your cart anymore. Like other products.

Yes, it's by design. You don't own them, but have free access to them.

Resources that you own come with a permanent license and count towards dynamic pricing. Resources that you "rent," or "subscribe to", or "are given access to" (such as preview, or Basic resources) are temporary licenses for products we don't own.

Exactly. If they gave you ownership of them for free, you would get dynamic pricing. But because we don't own the Basic resources, we'd have to pay for them if we wanted to own them.

As for the free books of the month, Logos does give you permanent licenses for them, so they do influence dynamic pricing.

Yes, it's an "issue" with those products that's been reported already, but probably can't easily be fixed.

The Basic resources (that we don't already own) will always show up as "new to you."

Thanks for the reply. That's what I figured, but I appreciate confirmation.
