First, welcome to the forums! Unfortunately, Logos is licensed to ONE user. In your situation, your immediate family is more than welcome to use your account, but they will be using YOUR account.

You can install Logos on other computers (or perhaps even in their user accounts) but it will be with YOUR sign-in information. Highlights, etc. will be shared. The only way around this is to purchase another base package.

Hi Gene,

Again, welcome to the forums!

Alabama24's counsel is spot on..

However, you'll want to be aware when you share that every family member who changes settings does so for all the family members, since it's the same account. If you (or others) want to have things the way you laid them out, then I'd suggest that each of you have your own layout, which you'll need to save at the end of your session. See the Wiki / layouts for details on how to do, if you don't already know.

Many blessings on your studies!

Couple thoughts: wiki => Quick Installation onto multiple computers has steps to copy Logos 4 installation. Could change program settings to turn off Automatic Downloads and Use Internet (essentially offline use, see Method 1 quick installation). Caveat: clicking sync arrows or using sync now command does connect to Logos Servers, so all changes propagate (e.g. Library Priorities, Highlighting, Notes, etc). With offline copies, could use Method 1 periodically to copy everything from your primary installation (while losing changes in cloned installation; if want to keep family member's stuff, need to sync to Logos servers, then sync with primary installation before copying).

Along with prefixing Layouts, may want to prefix highlighting palettes, notes, guides, etc.

Keep Smiling [:)]
