Joshua Chan

I have being using Libronix for about 10 years in my Windows environment. Recently i have migrated to mac and also have an ipad. How to i upgrade from Windows Libronix into Logos mac? Can i also install the same software on my ipad? All the CDs i have on Libronix are running on Windows.

Keep Smiling 4 Jesus :)

In Windows Libronix, use Tools => Library Management => Synchronize Licenses.

On iPad, can install free "Bible +" app from Logos, sign-in with same account used for Libronix (needs network connection), then go to Library.  Optionally, can download resources for offline use.  If have questions about Logos "Bible +" app on iPad, suggest posting in iPhone/iPad forum.

Note: vyrso app is a free book reader version of "Bible +" app; which is discussed in Vyrso forum (vyrso and "Bible +" cannot share resources).

For Mac, wiki has Logos 4 Mac page includes Need Logos 4 PC feature? section (option: run Libronix 3.0g in a Windows virtual machine on Mac) plus Mini FAQ section includes "New to Mac OS X ?".

Also, wiki has Quick Installation onto Multiple Macs => Copy Logos 4 Resources to Mac OS X section (can copy Libronix resources from Windows and scan them in Logos 4 on Mac).  Sign in to Logos 4 on Mac using same account as Windows Libronix to copy your resource licenses, then automatically download resources (may take several sessions to download and index).

Logos 4 software is free; may to want to consider Logos 4 minimal crossgrade => http://www.logos.com/minimalcrossgrade since Reverse Interlinear resources changed along with adding many resources for Logos 4 new features.

Wiki has Getting Started with Logos page with tips and links to excellent unofficial Logos 4 training videos.  After Safari 5.1 update, old Logos for Mac v 1 (partial port of Libronix 3) essentially became an e-book reader.  Hence recommend using Logos 4.3 on Mac.

Observation: while Logos 4 Mac lacks some feature exposure compared to Logos 4 Windows, wiki Mac and PC User Interface Differences => Feature Parity has a list, Logos 4 Mac is usable for sermon preparation and bible study.  Logos 4.3 on Mac includes noticeable performance improvements.
