Logos 5 Will not Open under Different User on the Same Computer

edited November 2024 in English Forum

I installed logos 5 on my main administrator user account on my laptop, which is where I install all new programs.  However, I do all my research on a separate user account, which also has administrator rights.  This is to separate research and study from all other activities.  Until recently, there was never a problem.  However, now, in the research user account, when I double click the Logos icon, I get the splash screen, but then it disappears and Logos does not open.

any suggestions on what is going on, and how to have access to Logos 5 through both user accounts on the same computer?  

Thanks.

    Did you have two complete installations on your computer? (resource files in each account)? Are you on PC or Mac?

    No.  Just a single install since I have over 5 GB of materials, so did not want to clutter the SSD.  And I am on PC

    thanks.

    I don't know if this is possible... I don't think it is. On Mac, the resource files are in the user account, so sharing wouldn't work. I assume the same is true on PC. Sorry!

    Logos is designed for a per-user installation. Therefore 2 Windows User accounts = 2 separate installations for a single Logos signin/account. So how exactly did you perform the single install and how did you execute it from the other Windows account?

    Welcome [:D]

    Without Logos diagnostic log files, humanly not know what is going on.  Wiki has => http://wiki.logos.com/Diagnostic_Logging

    Logos 5 is designed to be used by one user at one time.  If have configured two user accounts to share one installation, wonder if Logos 5 is open in the other account ?  Curious about configuration ?

    Wonder about installing Logos 5 for use in one account, then in a different account use runas ? (only have Logos 5 running once per installation on a computer so could uas a command file to check for Logos 5 running and display a message if alreadt in use, otherwise use runas)

    Keep Smiling [:)]

    I beg to differ:

    On the netbook it is a different user account than the one on the Laptop, yet both run concurrent. On the laptop I can sign in as Admin or user, yet never ever have had any problems running L4/L5 on the laptop.

    AND, just so we are understanding everyone: The sign in for the "user account for L4/L5" is seemingly associated with the account @ Logos HQ - not- the sytem is it running on...but then we really need a Logos employee to verify, don't we<?> and not guess what the problem may be....(I have three different systems and all will run L4/L5 -Laptop, Netbook, Desktop- each have their own seperate user sign on's'  BUT-ONE LOGOS USER Account sign in)

    I installed logos 5 on my main administrator user account on my laptop, which is where I install all new programs.  However, I do all my research on a separate user account, which also has administrator rights.  This is to separate research and study from all other activities.  Until recently, there was never a problem.  However, now, in the research user account, when I double click the Logos icon, I get the splash screen, but then it disappears and Logos does not open.

    Thanks.

    Just so we are on the same page, what ever I do in 'Admin' mode when L5 closes, is the same opening layout when I switch to 'user' mode.....so unless he has done something that I am not aware of...it does work.

     

    Hope this helps.....

    Ok then - explain away: What is his problem? How did he get two user accounts on his 'one' system and only One install and it works? (did work)

    Then, when you are done with him, by all means tell me that what I have done doesn't work-? [Hey by the way my desktop is on and i vpn'd to it and am running L5 - can this be done as well?]

    Graciously awaiting your reply.....

    To a point yes I do, he has ONE install for two different user names - meaning: on his ONE system he has an ADMINSTRATOR account and a USER account, totally possible. L5 is installed ONCE, it is easy to ""allow all users access to this program"" to set. Thus, you can have multiple USER accounts on ONE computer system and give those USERS different access to specific programs and deny others the same......but the PROGRAM is installed only once.

    The part that interests me the most is how he was able to distinguish the USER account on his ONE system so that the Layouts were attached thereto and were not seen by another USER account on his ONE system.....that I would love to know.

    Are you there yet?

    He said he had two accounts, both Administrator.

    First, if they are then they should know about User accounts and profiles:

    Second you missed it:

    Thanks.

    These two are different, an Administator Account is way different than a user account w/admin rights....

    dmb, read alabama's link.

    I am thinking that he has a corrupted user account profile....

    Gang-

    Someone is misreading or I was unclear. I installed the program through the administrator account that I created when I first turned on the laptop when it was bought.  I established three other user accounts on the same laptop. When I logged into my rescount user name on the laptop, th Logos startup icon appeared on my desktop making me think I should be able to use Logos oaccount user, and all users across the laptop.

    However, the research user account will not open Logos 5 when I double click the desktop icon. It was that simple. I did not make two installs on the same computer.  I simply want to be able to use the Logos across all users on the same laptop computer.  Currently, I can only use the program on a single user account. 

    Thanks.

    James, thanks for clarifying, i would like to continue to help solve this mystery, but I am just a hill-billy living in the woods with an extremely quite recurve. lets let the real people help. besides they can't understand how you got multiple users on one computer....pppsssttt- its in the profiles.

    As Dave said, Logos is designed to be installed to one user account & one account only. We are all curious how you accomplished multiple working installs that were all functional at one point. It is a scenario we would like to duplicate. Could it be it was a favourable loophole that the latest upgrade closed?

    I am not negating your expertise when I say Dave Hooton is our resident expert on the forums when it comes to knowing the ins & outs of the Logos program. I just suggest he be afforded a little more respect. 

    I also tip my hat to your more attentive reading of the original post. You read very carefully. Good for a hill-billy. [:D] No disrespect intended towards anyone.

    James: The other posters are right, it's not supposed to be possible to run Logos on two different user accounts on one computer. It shouldn't have worked.

    Everyone else: It is possible, but dangerous. I've done it experimentally. It's a bit like the method for installing on two computers, but you use symbolic links instead of copying the files over. I seem to remember having to do so in the registry, too. I stopped testing it when I realised that if you left Logos open on one account and then switched to the second account, it would probably wreck your install, and you might lose documents. If you disabled switch user, and always log off properly, I think it would work though.

    I believe you. regardless of what the others may want to think and/or say.

    as a matter of fact, for the last few hours I set up a totally NEW user account and a new profile, and I did in fact run and create a layout etc.,etc., no questions about it. AND you can call me a liar if you want and say that this hill-billy living in the woods with an extremely quite recurve don't know didly-doo squat about Logos programs, with out any glitches. If you want to get your girlie-q's all tangled 'cause you think i am being disrespectful to the guru pompus persona of some - then sobeit. Good luck.

    sad part about it, i aint gonna tell ya how I did it, and worst yet It's been how many now hours and no one has even begun to say what they think happened -

    James, I would really like to tell you want I think is a-foot, but I won't do it here. Shame that there is no way you can contact me...I believe that i know what happened.

  • Personally have Logos 5.1 Beta 1 installed in one user standard account on Windows 7.  In a different standard user account, have Logos 4.6c Beta 1 installed using the same Logos.com account.  Logos 5 uses 35.2 GB of storage while Logos 4 uses 34.4 GB and Libronix 3 uses 15.3 GB; each installation has its own set of resources.

    Libronix 3.0g installs once for all users on a computer and can be used along side of Logos 5 and 4.

  • When I logged into my rescount user name on the laptop, th Logos startup icon appeared on my desktop making me think I should be able to use Logos oaccount user, and all users across the laptop.

    However, the research user account will not open Logos 5 when I double click the desktop icon.

    Wonder if properties of desktop icon refers to User specific location ?  By default, User location have permissions that restrict access to other users.

    I simply want to be able to use the Logos across all users on the same laptop computer.  Currently, I can only use the program on a single user account. 

    Prudent to run Logos 5 (and Logos 4) once on a computer due to single user database design.  Used runas /savecred /user: for Logos 4 in a shortcut to a custom install location that can be used by all users.  Noticed task bar has Logos 5 icon when Logos 4 is running:

    Notepad shows end of Logos 5 log that has an unexpected termination since Logos 4 already running.  Unable to run Logos 5 and Logos 4 at the same time in one user account, which would be helpful for side by side comparison.

    Here, someone contradict Bob's words and tell James he is abusing the Licences[James, Bob doesn't seem to think that you are wrong].....

     

    We license the software to one user.

    If you are one user with 10 computers, because you run a Mac, Windows, notebook, netbook, desktop, church, home, and three flavors of Linux, I don't care. You're just one user, albeit with too many computers.

    (People call up and say "how many computers can I put it on?" We don't care, if they're all YOUR computers. When we say "3", as we used to, for convenience, we'd get people who called with lengthy and unnecessary explanations for why they owned four computers. We'd also get people who would install it on the Pastor, Youth Pastor, and Sunday School Teacher's computers. And we'd say that was wrong, and they'd say "You said three computers for one owner, and the church is the owner, so it's legal to put it on three computers used by people who work at the church." I say, that's abusing the license.)

    What about my spouse? What about my child?

    Well, now it depends. Are you and your spouse "one user"? I know lots of people who have a single email address like JoeAndMary@somemail.com. They have one computer, one email address, one copy of Windows, (one car? one cell phone?) etc. To me, they're "one user." Same thing when little Joey uses the family computer....

    KSFJ, if you return this way, when you say multiple users in Libronix, I assume you mean against the Program Files Libronix directory (the user files being in separate accounts). In my case, I want to avoid multiple user files on my PC (one each in my main Windows7 and another in my Virtual Box). I tried applying the pathing in Libronix but got a little uncomfortable since both Libronix's run at the same time.

    As others have said, Logos was designed for one user, and it installs into a unique and odd spot so that one user and only that one user can run Logos.  What you will need to do is to install Logos into the second user and log into Logos using the same user id/password.  This will allow you to use L5 with both accounts, and both L5 installs will stay in sync as long as you keep the setting 'use internet' set to 'yes.'

    NOTE: You will have two installs of Logos, and thus will have two files of everything (two downloads, two syncs, two...).

    I am trying to help the original poster. I have surrounded myself by a multitude of counsellors that have proven trustworthy. They all warn James that the program is not designed to sync multiple accounts to one desktop. Bob Pritchet assumed one license across  multiple computers would still require a separate install of resources on each computer. Each install has to individually sync to the cloud and the latest sync will overwrite the older desktop. Telling James to carefully consider my computer guru counsellors' advice is not an attempt to derail him. It is the best advice I can offer. It may not be what he wants to hear but I am betting on the correctness of their advice, Dangerous, unworkable, don't do it.

    My only contention with your posts is they come across a little disrespectful. That is all.

    When I first read this I was slightly flabbergasted. But then after reading it through again, I realized – rather presumed – some things directly associated with this thread. Namely:

    -I apparently missed the part where you offered help - point me to it<?>;

    -I was unaware that you all lived in a gated community;

    -That with “all” the warnings, no resolutions from the “”elite”” of the forums;

    -That Bob would “assume” anything [which means that you didn’t read the excerpt correctly];

    -That your folly is that you are still persuaded that you need ‘multiple installs’ [re-read Mark’s post];

    -No one has stated that it was ‘unworkable’ [really, from the “elite”, where?];

    I am sorry that your miss-conception is that I am being disrespectful. Sorry, my sackcloth is still at the cleaners and the ashes are still warm; Wasn’t aware that I was to bow and pay homage before entering the hall, I didn’t see the donation box – where is it?, I will go back outside and beg for pennies so I have an offering?; also, wasn’t aware that there was a ‘pecking order’ and that I wasn’t supposed to speak until spoken to by the Great Xerses(s) of our ‘neuter-gender equal’ forum.

    Yes Mark did say that, but then he is not changing the install, read it again.....you missed a really good pointer line....

    I suggested to James HERE that Logos was not designed to share a resource pool with multiple sign-ins. I suggested that the latest update may have put up a guard-rail on a dangerous activity that violated the design intent of the program developers. We should hope the programmers would fix such a dangerous design flaw. 

    The issue has never been using Logos on multiple computers or sharing a license with a spouse. It is about sharing a single install resource pool with multiple different sign-in IDs. Otherwise what would prevent me from sharing my 10,000+ (20GB) of resources with a bunch of seminary students?

    I think we are done here.

    Concur with Room4More's reply being disrespectful and inappropriate.  Primary forum focus is using Logos Bible Software.  Praying for R4M, ...

    Searching Logos for girlie included one result with something to ponder:

    KSFJ, if you return this way, when you say multiple users in Libronix, I assume you mean against the Program Files Libronix directory (the user files being in separate accounts). In my case, I want to avoid multiple user files on my PC (one each in my main Windows7 and another in my Virtual Box). I tried applying the pathing in Libronix but got a little uncomfortable since both Libronix's run at the same time.

    For Libronix 3, thread => Backup and Restore for Libronix v3 has file sharing tips.  Used internet search:

    site:community.logos.com libronix sharing files

    to find many threads.  Libronix 3 was installed once on a computer for all user accounts.  In contrast, Logos 4 and Logos 5 are designed to be installed once per user account.  Have pondered using one Logos installation for many users along with potential for numerous disasters.

    Thankful for Logos licensing that allows one user to install on many devices.  Personally have Libronix 3.0g installed twice, Logos 4 installed thrice, and Logos 5 installed on four devices.  Thankful for an iMac next to a Dell laptop, which is useful for Logos feature parity comparison.  After experiencing sync surprises between two computers with Logos library prioritization, have learned some Logos items are best done in one installation at one time, then sync to other installations.

    On Windows 7, have partitioned hard drive so Logos 5 is in the fastest partition, Logos 4 is in a custom folder on the C:\ drive (2nd fastest), and Libronix 3.0g is custom installed into a medium speed partition.  Note: slow partition has file compression turned for all files.  Thread => http://community.logos.com/forums/p/24555/295749.aspx#295749 has more about hard disk partitioning.

    Keep Smiling [:)]

    yup that is what I said but yet again you failed in your attempt. Yet see here again you are making an aureate statement that you know me - the truth is you don't! {wisper, wisper - stop while you are ahead}

    I think we are done here.

    In the first part all you did was to re-phrase[paraphrase] what has already been stated; the second is new and has nothing to do with any kind of 'help' but if you choose to share w/seminary students well thats between you and Logos....not us.

    And now we have KS4J pulling rank by pointing the guidelines...tut.tut. we are all aware of the guidelines and I believe we are right on spot and I believe that i can help James "fix" his problem, but it has already been duely noted that I am overstepping my forum "rights" so I will wait for the more learned to point it out [I think that they already know they were to quick to show concern about ""how he did it"" and not how to fix it]....Ks4j you are beginning to worry me, you have taken it out of context beside the fact you broke the forum guidelines in the post it neither helps or points to a resolution....

    But anywho; Mark stated something that is relevant, Did ya catch it?

    I see those stones a comin' hope you all don't live in a glass house.....movies startin' you all ponder a while.....

    While I appreciate the first few assists, this post has become an embarrassment to anyone of faith. Please accept my thanks to those who were productive, and please cease and desist posting anything further here to every one else. Just trying to help guard your hearts since there is a growing sense of lack of self control here

    Thanks, James,[but this type of thing is the norm]

    I truely am sorry that I cannot give you a solution. It seems that it would be out of place for a hill-billy living in the woods with an extremely quite recurve. But there does seem to be a fix/bypass/over-ride/setting whatever you would like to call it, from what I have done on my own system. I have been running it all day and switching back and forth with no problems or glitches.....and somehow I suspect that they are diligently working to discover it as we speak.

    I would almost guarantee that once I explained it......

    Thank you KS4J ... that's a good link (and Dave too!). This will take me some time to digest.

    James ... our apologies to you. But the issue you had is one we've all struggled with!  Hope you're able to get back to where you were productive.

    LOL. You guys are all funny, experts or otherwise. Learn to relax and laugh. BTW, R4m is not out of his depth when he says it can be done. It is elementary knowledge to any experienced computer user. But I should refrain from posting how it is done lest the so called loop hole is discovered and patched. But seriously, why go through great lengths to prevent it from being done? If it fails due to any corruption of files, let it be so. After all, it is us who choose to install it in such a way, right? R4m has already dropped the hints many times on how it is done ;)
