Use Logos with two users on one computer
Hello. I'm kinda stuck with what seems to be a weird issue. There are two profiles on my computer, and I want Logos to be used for both. When I try and open Logos on the second profile it wants to download all 5 gigs of files again. Is there a way to just use the data from the other profile. Thank you in advance for your help. God bless you all.

Adam,
There is no simple way to do this. The Logos license permits use on a per-user basis, so Logos data installs under a user's account. Try to log in from another account and it will try to re-download everything because it can't find the data.
Since you're on a Mac, there are some things you might try, which might or might not work. I've not tested it, can anticipate some possible issues, and it might violate Logos' TOS, so I'll avoid detailed info, but in general you might move your Logos data folder to something both you and the other user account can access then link the data folder to each account. I did something similar to store all my Logos data on an external hard drive, but I wasn't trying to share between accounts.

Trying to share one Logos 4 folder at same time with two users not recommended (also not supported by Logos).
Using scan command to copy resources from one Logos 4 folder into another is an option.
Personally have two Mac user accounts: stable Logos 4 Mac and beta Logos 4 Mac (each of my Mac users has a Logos 4 folder; do have two copies of my resource files).
Keep Smiling [:)]
