    Are you saying I can download the latest version of the engine and not pay anything? DEAL! Sign me up… I could care less about new features… my Logos 9 crashes all the time. I just want to use the books I have. How do I do that and not subscribe or pay anything?

    Not yet, I am hoping to find a way to reinstall Logos 9 or install Logos 10. So, I can use my books without crashing. I have no desire to continue my relationship with Logos, beyond what I already have. The program is cool… but I get the feeling of being juiced. I don't like that feeling.

    Yes you can - but it's worth checking what version of the software engine you are actually using first.

    I know you mention Logos 9 but I wonder if that relates to the latest package you bought as opposed to the version of the software engine. If you click the three dots icon at the top-right / bottom-left of your Logos window you should see a popup menu that includes the option About Logos. If you click that you should get a panel showing you, among other things, what version of the engine you are using.

    If you are running anything other than Logos 39 (the latest software release), entering the command update now in the command box should download the latest version.

    And once we know what version you are using and, ideally, once you have the latest version if you are still having issues with the program crashing I suggest starting a new thread where we can explore that with you.

    You might actually want to hold off doing the update now command for a day or so - but it would be good to know what version of the software engine you are running - because some people are having issues with the latest release, Logos 39.

    Hi Graham, I am on 9.17.0.0020 aka 9.17 SR-2. I started a separate thread about the crashing.

    Hi Graham, I am on 9.17.0.0020 aka 9.17 SR-2. I started a separate thread about the crashing.

    Thanks for advising that - I can't see your separate thread so continuing here.

    Is there a particular reason why you are still running 9.17? Did you deliberately choose to not upgrade or was there a reason why it couldn't be done?

    What platform are you running on (OS and version)?

    I used to have no problem getting a monograph for the Kindle if it was less expensive. However, with Logos' new search features and the ability to incorporate the contents of a monograph in the overall search summary, I think it's worth sticking with Logos. And for research resources like commentaries, lexicons, Bible dictionaries, etc., it's a no-brainer. They're MUCH more functional in Logos and I'm willing to pay the extra overhead.
