How long do you have to subscribe to keep a library that you purchase

For the new 2025 libraries, it says "A subscription is required to purchase this library." What are the requirements for this purchase of a library:

If you cancel the subscription, do you lose the library?
How long do you need to keep the subscription to retain the library?
Is there a minimum subscription level required for a given library?

I know my Hermeneutics class will be asking about this tonight. The mid-semester changes to the who Logos system will really add confusion.

Once purchased, a user owns the library and will not lose it if they cancel the subscription. Mark Barnes even suggested that a user could use the free trial or a single month subscription to buy a new library.

You only have to have a subscription at time of purchase. You will not lose access to that library when your subscription ends.

That is helpful to know. It would be good if that were specified somewhere, even in a footnote.

Also, if you purchase the 2 year subscription that FL is trying to push, do you get a 30 day trial period with cancellation option?

It is legitimate to take the trial and subscribe for real at the end. That is a sort of free month.

Also, this is a FAQ from halfway down the Subscription Page:

I am already subscribed to Logos. How can I get the 2-year option?

We don't support moving from an existing subscription to the two-year option yet. If you'd like this option, sign up below and we'll notify you when the two-year option becomes available.

If you're eligible for a free trial, the site will have a "Start free trial button:

If you're not eligible for a free trial (e.g., Logos 10 discounts are applied), the site will say "Subscribe" and there is no free trial:

You cannot return this subscription for a refund (see https://www.logos.com/subscription-faq):

Can I return my subscription for a refund within the 30-day return window?
No. Our 30-day return policy applies to one-time product purchases, such as the 2025 Library, not to subscriptions. When you subscribe, you receive immediate access to a curated collection of books and tools, along with exclusive benefits and updates. For this reason, we do not offer refunds on subscription fees.

Thanks, Bradley. That helps clarify things.
