Would we be losing Logos Libraries in the future?
I used to look forward to Logos 11 having not just new features but new libraries depending On the plan we take. if it goes to subscription model we will no longer get new libraries of books to use that we didn’t have previously?

No, we will not be losing Logos libraries in the future. There will be new libraries offered this Fall.

So we will get it automatically if we subscribe ?

From Official: You Can Now Get Early Access to the Next Version of Logos:
Phil Gons (Logos) said:
Joseph Turner said:Phil Gons (Logos) said:3. Libraries: We plan to continue to offer libraries via our existing perpetual licensing model along with dynamic pricing. We haven't yet decided if we'll refresh them every two years, move to an annual release, or something else.
I may be in the minority, but this is my major concern. I want to make sure that there are still base package libraries available, as this is where I focus most of my attention.
Am I to understand that you are considering reconfiguring base packages of books yearly, or every two years as it is now? Can you expound on the current ideas, or maybe start a new thread if you are searching for ideas?
There definitely will still be numerous multi-level tracks of libraries available. But we want to simplify the buying process for the new customer.
This is still an active area of discussion, but here's what might change:
- The organizing principle for these libraries (role/function, denomination, theological perspective, interest area)
- How often we update them (e.g., our general libraries annually and the specialist libraries as needed)
- How we expose them in the new customer buying process to ensure we don't overwhelm people
These libraries will still be perpetually licensed with dynamic pricing.
TBD on whether subscribers enjoy special benefits such as early access, an extra discount, etc.
There are other official replies regarding the future of libraries but this is the latest one I was able to pull without delving too deeply back into that mammoth thread. The replies are along the same lines - there will still be libraries and they will not be subject to a subscription model.

Accordance already started NOT offering new libraries in their new version 14 and that didn’t go well 😂😂😂 I hope Logos doesn’t make the same mistake!
