Nor yet, have I. I guess if they‘re sending thousands it might take a little while.

Faithlife just commented on their Facebook live stream that it will take a while for the emails to go out. I'm sure they are sending them out in batches, as most large email campaigns do.

Nice to get this. The drop down menus are nicer than before. I only wish they could have added the ability to have a Favorites drop down menu.

If you plan to buy a base package, please do NOT purchase this free update as you will lose your "first Logos 8 upgrade", which was for me over $400. I will have to spend now a long time trying to sort this out. [:(]

Received this free upgrade. Does this mean we were upgraded to the full feature set for free? When I go to the website, it is showing that the full feature set contains items I don't own but in Logos desktop software it does appear I have these items.

You get access to the full feature set as a subscriber, but it is not a purchase (ownership) of the features. The product pages won't show features you subscribe to as owned, but as new to you.
The desktop software will show that you have (temporary) access to the L8 datasets, features, and tools, for as long as you continue your subscription.

I purchased it before buying an upgrade and didn't lose my discount.

I am interested to hear an official answer to this question. I purchased the free L8 update through the link in the e-mail, and don't know for sure if I am seeing a 25% or 10% intro discount when I look at base packages on the website.

If you put a base package in your basket, the view your basket, it’s very clear whether you’re getting a “first-time” discount.

Unfortunately, it does not say "first-time" discount. My cart has the "on sale today".

So I'm still confused about a few things..
1) does getting the 'free update' mix up any "first-time" discount as others have suggested.. I have done the free update and now concerned about pricing.
2) I have faith life-connect essentials (no library) $99/year thing.. If I keep paying the $99, is there any reason to get the full features upgrade?

It doesn't seem to cause any problems. I applied the free update and still see the first-time discount in a base package after putting it in my cart.

Ditto.
I also did the "free update." I still see "Logos 8 first time-upgrade discount for Connect subscribers" when I add an item to my cart.
(Decisions, decisions!)

You will not lose your first Logos 8 upgrade discount by getting your free update to Logos 8 for Connect subscribers.
(There was a problem with the page initially which might have made it look like this was the case, but this has been fixed.)

Do you have to put library packages in your cart to see the "first-time" discount? Is it more of a discount in the cart than seen when just selecting the "See Price" icon in the various library packages?Graham Criddle said:Travis Walter said:1) does getting the 'free update' mix up any "first-time" discount as others have suggested..

Thanks, JT. I was getting a different impression based on posts that sounded to me like they were saying to put purchases in the cart to see the discount. I like the way Faithlife has set up the library compare screens allowing you to select a package to see the price and then showing which new L8 feature set comes with it.JT (alabama24) said:Rick Ausdahl said:Is it more of a discount in the cart than seen when just selecting the "See Price" icon in the various library packages?

It's possible, since FL has shared the email on the forums. See here for the text of the email (and a link you can follow, to get early access to Connect's L8 Feature Set).
