Hi.

 

I've been using LLS on xp.

Now I have win7 64-bit.

Installer won't run because it's 16-bit.

sez so.

 

I don't want to buy a base package upgrade.

So, I'm thinking of downloading the free Logos 4 engine.

Or, should I download Libronix?

Thanks!

    Mark, many of us are successfully running Libronix (Logos 3) on Win 7 64-bit computers.

    Install from the Internet: http://www.logos.com/support/download/30bupdate

    If you want to go to Logos4 I would suggest no less than the minimal crossgrade. The other options, including an upgrade of your currect L3 pacgage to L4 can be found here: http://blog.logos.com/archives/2009/12/4_ways_to_move_to_logos_4.html

    As Mark said  [:)]

    You can also download the latest complete version (not upgrade) from http://www.logos.com/support/downloads/ldls

    I have 64 bit on both my desktop and laptop with no problems using the above link.

    Which Windows 7 did you get?  With Professional, you should be able to run it in an XP virtual machine.

    There's little point getting used to L3 when L4 has been out for over a year, in my view. So make the jump straight to L4 (though you'll get much better use out of it if you do the minimum crossgrade).

    There's (only [:)]) one reason to install LDLS3 first: LDLS3 can import your LLS licenses and push them up to our servers (using the Synchronize Licenses menu command). Once you do that, Logos 4 will know that the books you owned in LLS 2.x are unlocked (and download them automatically, etc.).

    Thanks, everybody.

     

    Ok, Bradley... So it sounds like I need Libronix first to unlock my books.

    I don't have LLS installed now.  Do I need to install LLS before installing Libronix?

     

    If so, I will have to install LLS on my xp computer.  Then how do I migrate to my win7 computer?  Synchronize License again?

     

    Thanks!

    If you install on XP,  and synch, you can then download L4 exe for your Win 7 box and when you install it, Logos will automatically install your Logos library on your Win 7 machine if you are on the internet. Seeing that Logos knew my whole library and just installed it for me made an upgrade to L4 a real no-brainer.

    No - only need to install Libronix 3.0g (latest version).

    On an older PC, installed LLS 2, then ran update - Libronix 3.0g replaced LLS 2.

    Once Libronix 3.0g installed, can synchronize licenses then install Logos 4.  Since Logos 4 does not yet have all Libronix features, may want both versions.

    Install L2 and L3 on your old computer, and synchronise licences.

    Install L4 on your new computer and log-in with the same username and password.
