How do you set up multiple users on same computer?

Kevin St. Clair

Just installed Logos 4 on my computer and it is only allowing one user to see the program. How can it be set to allow all the users on the computer to access it through their accounts?

The version I had allowed several users, so Logos 4 is not an improvement with this limitation.

The Logos ELUA is for a single user and as such only installs to one user account, to have it on multiple accounts you'll have to install it again.

This issue has been well hashed out before, I encourage you to read the CEO's take on licensing: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/341/3265.aspx#3265

Thanks,

I would have been happy to have it installed on one computer and allow the Windows 7 accounts on that machine  to access it, like every other program I own.  That was too convenient for Logos, I guess.

No, if you read the link that Kevin posted, you'll see one user means one user on as many computers as they legitimately have. Many accounts on one computer is not one user, that's many users - different logons, different security privileges, different files and folders, different network access, etc. etc..

I find it actually a pretty flexible approach for a user, given computers, devices, handhelds, phones, etc. etc. that the world is evolving to (and is Logos).

Bob did a nice job writing up his thoughts and motivations on licensing in that link.

I guess it's the sign of the times. In the older days (pre-2010), the carpet color was the major point of discussion at our church. Now everyone wants to argue about the proper Logos4 layout (everyone, of course, sharing on a single account, you know).   Just joking. I agree on having my Logos4 everywhere I like (the EULA).
