Now that my platinum trial is over, my searches turn up all kinds of books I don't have access to. Is there an easy way to just empty platinum out of my library?
You'd need to run "delete unlicensed resources" and subsequently to reindex - see https://wiki.logos.com/Delete_Unlicensed_Resources
That's the reason why I skipped the trial. Full reindex is a pain in the neck...
I just used the command myself (seems I had more unlicensed resources in my library than only the Platinum trial - maybe there once was e.g. a T&C Clark trial, potentially with Logos Now) and will let the indexer run over night. I don't expect it to be a nuisance at all, it's more a beta testing thing.
My library did not reindex after removal of the trial and unlicensed resources.
That's not automatic, you have to invoke it by command rebuild index if you wish it to happen. The OP complained that the no-longer-licensed resources came up in searches etc. - to rectify that, a reindex is needed.
Practically speaking, I think it depends on the size of a user's library and what they received with Platinum (and got taken away after the trial ended): if it's only a couple (or a couple hundred) resources against a five-digit library count, there's no need to reindex. If the Platinum trial brought thousands of temporary resources, it makes sense to bring the index down to what's actually there in the library - and it will release some disk-space, too.
5 digit library holder here. I did this, and it took a good bit of time. BUT I had a ton of temporary liscenses. Only a few hundred from platinum, but a whole trial set of mobile ed stuff... ~10gb iirc deleted off my m.2. drive.

Thanks. I have a four-digit library and a 55.7 GB data directory. I'm going to do the manual reindex to see the difference.
