I only have a small main drive and wish to store Logos books on an external drive. If this possible? If so, how? Thanks
The most easy way is to do a complete install of Logos on an external SSD (make sure it is NTFS formatted). This solution is not officially supported by Logos (and the possible but more complex separation of program and resources is not supported either), but works without any issues.
You can do this using the steps below. This was discussed on this forum - you can search for "mklink"
Note that the Resources folder is not the only one which potentially takes a lot of space, e.g. the LibraryCatalog and LibraryIndex folders could also use significant space. You can move them using the same method as the Resources folder.
If you want to do a complete install of Logos on an external SSD, you can search this forum for "InstallDirectory", or follow these steps: 1) for clean installation, uninstall previous Logos via Add/Remove Programs, and delete folders %LocalAppData%\Logos %LocalAppData%\Faithlife It is possible to move the installation too, without uninstalling and reinstalling - see e.g.
2) run regedit (Windows+R regedit) 3) inside regedit, create folder (if it does not already exist): HKCU\Software\Logos4 4) inside the HKCU\Software\Logos4 folder, add (or change) string "InstallDirectory" with value "E:\Logos" (or whatever is your desired path for the Logos installation) 5) run Logos installer, and it will install to the new location
That's great. Thank you both for your help.

Not necessary. The Installer has a Custom option which allows you to input the desired location. Using Regedit to change any parameter of an existing installation should be avoided.

I concur. Simply say the installer to install at e.g. G.\ if that's the external drive where you want it to live.
If you are scared about completely uninstalling Logos first, you can install Verbum onto the external drive and see that it works flawlessly, then uninstall Logos on the internal drive when you feel good about it.
That's great thank you. I am happy to do a clean install as I am setting up on a new machine. thanks
Inline smart search seems very slow. I type a phrase like 'Jesus speaks to his mother', it can take 8-15 seconds. ( I have been experimenting with a number of 'Jesus speaks to…" searches). The second time it's very fast, probably cached I suspect. I have a very fast internet, 2GB download, so it's not that. I am on…
I do not see the flexibility we had in designing a Custom Reading Plan like we once had. I need to make a New Reading Plan from Numbers 17 to Rev 22 and end it on December 31, 2025. Reading 2 times per day.
I just noticed the info panel "License management is now available in Admin Portal." Since license management in Faithlife groups is a bit cumbersome, I found that notice very intriguing. However, when I go to the admin panel, it says that I need Logos for church, or Logos for education to access it. Now my questions: Do I…
something changed so that I am unable to hear text to speech on the program that has on one side and ESV Bible on the other. I use the ctrl r to hear it. It works on the Truth for Today but not on the Bible side. I am not sure what changed, to cause that. Please help if possible. God Bless You.
How do I find the Bible in Chinese language in Logos?
