I have been a Logos user since version 2 and love Logos 4. I've invested many dollars in the program and training, Camp Logos, etc. I am very satisfied with my current library and don't really want to spend another $650 to upgrade; will my current Logos 4, Scholars Platinum continue to be supported or will support for Logos 4 be phased out over time.

    You will eventually have access to a free program upgrade when the initial promotion period is done.  I have no idea how long this will be.  This will allow you to use the new Logos 5 program with your current library, but without adding new resources or datasets.  If you upgrade this way, some new features will not be available to you because they depend on the datasets in the base packages.  You can also wait for a "minimal crossgrade" which will give you access to all new features and datasets for a price much lower than a base package upgrade. Logos has said this is coming soon, but haven't given a date.

    Unless you are stuck on Windows XP, there is no need to stick with L4 when the L5 free upgrade becomes available.  L5 works like L4 but with added features and performance improvements.

    Support for Logos 4 will continue indefinitely. According to Bob Pritchett (Logos founder & CEO) further upgrades are planned for L4.

    Todd's information would be the best option, however.
