Logos 5

Would really like to have Logos 5 but due to my income as a missionary I am unable to come up with $75 a month. I use version 4 and I can see the benefits of 5. Oh well such as life.

Hi Orvel - and welcome to the forums

Are you aware that a free "engine-only" upgrade to L5 is due out sometime this quarter?

Hi Graham, thanks for the reply

Yes I looked at that , the only upgrade to 5. Even the $43 a month is out of the question,we have to run on a limited budget,;because things here are vry expensive. I do try to buy book once in awhile..

FREE Orvel, FREE! (Logos will release Logos5 engine free in a 'short while').

By the way, we appreciate you missionary efforts!

Orvel - I don't think you understood Graham. In the not-too-distant future, there will be a FREE upgrade to L5… this will be the "engine only" (no new resources or datasets will be added). It sounds like you might have an L4 base package. Is that true? If so, another option would be to pay for the "minimal cross grade." This will add the new datasets needed to get the new features. I think it should be $159 or less if you own an L4 base package ($21 mo).

Hi Orvel

What is the 'minimal cross upgrade?

The minimal cross grade contains the new databases and features in Logos 5 (along with the new UI and some other enhancements)

And what is the difference between it an the 'engine-only' upgrade to L5?

The engine-only upgrade (which will be free when it becomes available sometime this quarter) will provide the new UI but not the new databases and associated features (such as Clause Search, Bible Events, Bible Sense Lexicon, etc)

The best description of these is on the Logos blog at http://blog.logos.com/2012/11/5-ways-to-move-to-logos-5/?utm_source=blog.logos.com&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=textlink&utm_campaign=l5upgrade

For minimal crossgrade and the free engine you need to look at Options 4 and 5 in that article.

How could I get the minimal cross upgrade?

Go to the Logos website and their upgrade page at http://www.logos.com/upgrade and select the minimal crossgrade package.

Hope this helps

Graham

Orvel,

in addition to the excellent advice you received from Graham and the others here, you may want to check out the Core Datasets upgrade. The product page shows a detailed comparison to the Minimal Crossgrade. Basically,

Minimal Crossgrade (MC) will give you all of the new datasets and features plus some resources. It's dynamically priced (i.e. takes into account what you already own - but this won't reduce your price significantly, coming from L4), it's available for $159, in some cases cheaper.
Core Datasets (CD) will give you some of the new datasets and features, no resources. You can get it today, too, and it's cheaper than the MC: $79
L5 Engine only (when available) will give you the latest look and feel, which may run faster and more stable than L4. It will be free.
