logos 5 upgrade
I recently upgraded Logos 4 to 5. I is fine on my desktop (Mac) but I notice on my laptop that I still have 4 and Now 5 both. I can click on 4 and it tells me I a need to upgrade. What do I need to do with 4?

Once you've installed L5 then other installations of L4 will be automatically upgraded to L5 (assuming the version of Mac OS is compatible with L5). Let it upgrade and you will have L5 on both machines.

James, if your notebook is a Mac and L5 is installed, simply drag the L4 icon to the trash can.

It's possible I misinterpreted "I notice on my laptop that I still have 4 and Now 5 both" as having L5 on one machine and L4 on the laptop (both machines), with the latter needing to be upgraded to L5!

On Windows, Logos 5 installs in the same place as Logos 4, which overwrites the program.
On OS X, the application bundle name changed from "Logos Bible Software 4" to "Logos Bible Software 5" so concur with suggestion to drag the Logos 4 Mac application to the trash. Logos 5 on OS X upgrades the SQLite database files in ~/Library/Application Support/Logos4 folder so the older Logos 4 Mac application becomes unusable.

I am getting Mac'd every now and then since the forums were combined. I just remembered this coming up before. Unless James gets back to us we won't know what the issue was.

That is a good thing [H]
This situation is caused by the two applications containing the version number in their names. On Windows, the user runs an installer which is smart enough to remove the old application. The Mac app has a simpler installation of dragging the application from a disk image into the Application Folder. Since they have different names, the old L4 application remains.
Nathan Parker reported in another thread that when he installed L5, L4 was removed. Appears Logos has changed the installation process. If so, that should end this confusion.
