Transferring a Logos 4 Installation from One User Account to Another

I installed Logos 4 Mac on one of my Macs under one user account. However, I now need to move the installation from the one user account to another user account. What do I need to do to go about doing this? Do I need to move the Library>Application Support>Logos4 folder from the one user account to the other, or do I need to trash it, login to the other user account, login to Logos, and re-download and index it?

Thanks!

You should be able to just move the folder. I haven't tried it for a while, but it worked with the early alpha builds.

You might also want to move com.logos.Logos_Bible_Software_4.plist from the Preferences Folder of your original User Library to the New User.

Wiki has Quick Installation onto Multiple Macs

Caution with "moving" folder is the need to change ownership of Logos4 folder and files to new account. If use new account to copy Logos4 folder from old account, ownership is changed. If copy first, can verify Logos 4 Mac works in both accounts, before using Uninstalling and Reinstalling in Logos 4 Mac to delete parameter list files and Logos4 folder from old account.

I was thinking whether I should do that. Thanks for bringing it up!

Sounds good. I'll keep that in mind.
