I recently got the Logos 9 Silver Feature Upgrade. However, by joining the Beta Testing we were given access to Logos Gold Base Package. I am now able to download books on said beta app I would've otherwise had to pay. 

When I download said books on my mobile, iOS, for the beta app, the app for Logos 9 updates as well, downloading books I would've had to purchase.

     This is not accurate. Downloading the resources on mobile does not cause them to be downloaded on desktop. Resources which are added to your account are automatically downloaded on desktop if you have the settings set to automatically download new resources. 

    I don’t know what the agreement you have with FL is. If these are permanent resources, you will continue to own them and have access in all devices. If they are temporary, you will lose access at the end of the term provided by  Faithlife. Does that answer your question or concern?

    I'm bringing forward that I normally would not be able to download a book because I would need to pay for it but because it's downloaded on the beta app, the data on Logos 9 is updated.  As you said, the setting is configured to automatically download new resources.  I'm not implying that it causes it, I'm saying that the update allows me to download books(in this case Bible translations) I would need to pay for normally.

    I'm not aware if they are permanent resources and the agreement with FL does not speak on resources, as I said before it is access to Logos Gold Base Package for the duration of the beta testing.  I'm merely wondering that if the downloaded resources, that need to be paid for to download, stays if that is a cause of concern for FL.

    @Jason Stone (Logos) - here is an example of a thread from two years ago showing in the initial list of posts, but it is actually two years old. You can’t tell that until you open the thread and read the small print! 😕🤷🏻‍♂️
