Upgrading to Logos 8
Logos 8 is here. If you already own a base package, you qualify for a Logos 8 upgrade at a special custom upgrade price.
If you’re newer to upgrading, you may have some misconceptions about what it is and how it works. Keep reading to get the facts.
Upgrading Facts
- You don’t lose anything when you upgrade. When you upgrade to Logos 8, you’re not trading in your current package and library for a new one. What you’ve already purchased is yours for life. Upgrading adds features and books on top of all the features and books you already have.
- You don’t repurchase anything you already own when you upgrade. No matter what package you choose to upgrade to, it will contain features and books your current base package already has. But don’t worry. We always calculate a custom upgrade price for you by taking into consideration everything you already have and deducting that from the total purchase price.
- We don’t have special upgrade packages. We don’t have separate packages for first-time purchasers and upgraders. Instead, we generate a custom upgrade price for you based on what you already own and what new licenses you’ll acquire.
- You don’t have to choose the same package level you already have. If you own Logos 7 Gold, Logos 8 Gold might be the right upgrade for you. But there’s no reason you have to choose that package. You can move up to a higher package or down to a lower package, based on which package has the features and books you want at a price you can afford. Remember, whichever package you buy only adds to everything you already have. You won’t lose anything regardless of which package you choose.
- You don’t have to choose only one package. Because we charge you only for the new features and books in the package you buy, you can safely purchase multiple packages without fear of overpaying or double purchasing. To make sure you get the best deal, you’ll want to buy one package per transaction—or reach out to our sales team (sales@logos.com or 888-875-9491) and let them help you do it all at once.
- You don’t have to buy a package with additional books. The new Logos 8 libraries are the best we’ve ever built and offered, but we understand that not everyone is looking to grow their libraries with new titles. That’s why we have upgrade options available that include only the new features and datasets to help you get just the latest functionality of Logos 8.
- You don’t have to buy separate upgrades for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, or the web. Your one license gives you the ability to access your tools and content on any of our apps.
- You don’t have to upgrade. A free basic version of Logos 8 will be available in early 2019, and if you’re not interested in the new features or resources we’ve added to our Logos 8 packages or don’t have the budget to upgrade right now, you can pick up the free update in a few months. You can always decide after that to upgrade your features, library, or both.
Upgrading Offers
- Take 25% off your first upgrade. For a limited time, you can save 25% on your first complete (i.e., features and library) upgrade to Logos 8. Additional upgrades will be 10% off. If you’d like to buy multiple packages in a single order to maximize your 25% discount, contact our sales team at sales@logos.com or 888-875-9491.
- Handpick your own Mobile Ed course. If you upgrade to Silver or higher, you’ll get your choice of any Mobile Ed course to add to your library permanently.
- Get bonus offers. We have a few other surprises planned for those who purchase Logos 8 during the launch window. Be on the lookout for special announcements exclusive to Logos 8 owners.
As you explore your Logos 8 upgrade options, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and let us know how we can help you find the package that’s right for you. We’re available to help through the following channels:
- here on the forums
- by email at sales@logos.com

This is great! One question, will this apply to any Silver base package (or perhaps denominational offerings are different)?

I see my Silver price, Phil. Do I take 25% MORE off it, if it is my 1st upgrade......or......does the price I see include the 25 %'s removal already??

It has just been clarified that you do not need to buy the feature set as well to get the full discount if you are a connect member.

Hi Phil,
This indirectly seems to state that I should return my upgrade and wait with the purchase until I get the bonus offers. Is this the case?

It is saying the bonus offers will be given to people who purchase the upgrade during the launch. In other words, if you wait, you might not get the offers.

I would argue that "exclusive to Logos 8 owners" would imply that you should NOT return your upgrade!

I upgraded to Logos 8 Silver today. Once the upgrade had installed and all library updates/indexing were finished, I checked my About box, and it doesn't recognize I have Silver. It just says "Logos 8 Library" -- this is different from past versions. Is it an intentional change? I liked when we could look up what base package we had in the About box.

Phil,
Does this also apply for base packages of different languages? I first purchased the Ultimate Package and then afterwards "Logos 8 Platin (Deutsch)”. Did I lose the additional discount because I did not purchase them at the same time?

Yes. I don't remember the specific 7.x version number when it took place, but the package name did get removed for various reasons. Sorry!
Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

Yes. You would have had to place a single order through sales to also receive the discount on the second package.
Sales or Customer Service might be able to resolve that for you, by reversing your original orders, then combining them in a single order.

When upgrading to Logos 7, I seem to recall we could choose to upgrade the library separately, the feature-set separately, or both together.
I can see options to purchase the feature-set alone or a feature-set and library, but can't see any way to purchase just a new Logos 8 library without feature set. (I'm not aware of using previous feature-sets, so there is no point in paying for new ones when I could put that money to getting a larger library).

You’ve probably been using parts of previous feature sets. In L8, Canvas, Theology Guide and Workflows are all features that are part of a paid-for feature set (there are others, those are the highlights).
If you’re a Connec subscriber you can purchase the Library only (because you already have the features as part of the subscription). But otherwise you’d be missing out on most of the best parts of L8.

Just a quick note on this - I am a Connect subscriber, and I wanted to upgrade from L7 Platinum to L8 Portfolio. Buying the library and datasets turned out to be much cheaper (I saved a couple of hundred dollars) than buying the library alone because of the extra sale discount I qualified for.
Obviously that's going to vary depending on what you own already and what you choose to buy, but do play around with options to check prices.

Hi James,
Something is not correct about your analysis as you should get the full discount as a FL Connect subscriber without purchasing the full feature set. I suggest you contact customer support via chat or phone to have them review your purchase.

Ah, maybe it was just the percentage of the total combined value that I owned, then? I had the L7 extended feauture set as well. Whatever the case, I was about to add the library to my cart before I noticed the option to add a featureset. I checked the price and ended up with a big saving. Whatever it is that triggered the saving, I’m happy.

Yes. If you haven't purchased an L8 package yet, you won't see the savings. Once you do, the prices will change to show the savings for L8 owners.

Hi Phil:
I just upgraded, have not been able to check features fully. I did notice that the daily excerpt from the "lives of saints" for the day is missing from the homepage.
Is there a way to put that and the lectionary info back again in the homepage?
Thanks ahead of time for any guidance.

I got a better price for including the feature set and I have a subscription I just took the cheaper price.
I did notice that on smaller collections there was actually a charge for the feature set.
As I understand it the advantage that I have gained by purchasing the feature set is that if I choose to stop subscribing my software will revert to standard Logos 8 i.e. I will only lose access to anything that I gain through my subscription that is targeted for a future product rather than the current one. In practice I think this means that in June 2019 I will need to review the value of my current subscription.

Don't forget that you get 2% back on all of the money you've spent for the year. Maybe you'll have enough to buy the feature set.

I initially assumed that these were one and the same, but upon reading the offer again I began to second guess that assumption. Notice that the wording is "a few other surprises planned..." This is just my personal observation.

Two things:
First, I got an email saying since I am in the Academic Program I get a special discount, of 20%... but the limited time upgrade is 25%.
Second, when I look to see the price of a base package- say Standard Platinum, it shows a price. Then when I add it to my cart, the price dropped! However, when I added Reformed Platinum, the price did not change. Any ideas why?

It's a Faithlife Connect perk if you're on Essentials or Standard. 2% back in Logos credit every February.

Quick update: As I live overseas, I sent an e-mail to CS. After 1.5 weeks, they still haven't been able to resolve it. So I just called and a great guy called Joe fixed the issue within a few minutes.
