Transferring from temporary user to main user account?
I did set up Beta on a new user and am confident enough now that I would like it on my main user account.
How do I do that and if I do will I have to go through the full indexing again?
If so I will just wait for the full version.
Thanks for any help! If you understand what I am asking.

Gene,
I would wait. 4.0b is about to go live and your regular installation will update automatically. That's what I'm doing and I'm in the same situation you are.

You can just download and run the beta setup from your main installation: http://downloads.logos.com/LBS4/InstallerBeta/Logos4Setup.exe
You won't have to go through full indexing, though it will look as though you are! That's because 4.0b has a bible index that will need to be created. It's much quicker than the full indexing, but you get the same yellow 'warning' messages that you get with a first install, and it will be an hour or so before you can do Bible searches.
When 4.0b is eventually released you won't need to do this indexing again.

Thanks Mark & Mark,
I believe I will give it another day or two and just see what develops.

It appears today is the day so after 4.0b is downloaded on my main account how do I remove Beta version from temporary user? If I just delete that account will that take it off my hard drive or do I delete the Beta version and then remove?
Again thanks for any help!

I believe if you remove the temporary account all the data will be lost (you'll know for sure by reading the warnings Windows throws your way) If not, delete the C:/Users/Logos Beta (or whatever it is) folder and that will get rid of all the data for that user account.
However, if you don't need the space, consider keeping the user account around for the next beta cycle [:)]

It's important to uninstall it to clean up your registry. Then you can delete the temp account and its user files!
