After many, many, requests, I'm finally able to give more details on what is likely to be included and excluded from the Legacy Fallback License (LFL). I'm sorry it's taken so long.
As a reminder, the LFL will be granted to subscribers after two years of continual subscription as a kind of "safety net" if you find you're no longer able to subscribe. That means you can be confident that you'll be able to use many Logos features long into the future. Perks and most books are not included in the LFL.
The LFL perk will only be given to people who already own a Logos base package or feature set or otherwise qualify for one of the discounted subscription tracks. It won't be offered to new customers.
Some features will be excluded from that license, primarily those that are cloud or AI-based, as they have high ongoing costs that are covered by the subscription payments. Many of you have asked for a list of those exclusions.
The first LFL will not be issued until October 2026, and many more features will be added between now and then. This list only deals with current features (including early access features). If possible, we'll try to identify whether future features will likely be eligible for the LFL when they are released.
So, likely exclusions of current and early access features from the Legacy Fallback License are:
From Logos Premium and up:
- Early access features:
- Smart Search
- Smart Synopsis
- Help Center
- Summarization (including in search results)
- Bible Study Builder AI Questions
- Older features:
- Factbook Tags (apart from most tags in Bibles)
- Community Tags
- Fuzzy Bible Search
- Insert Media in Notes
- Bible Browser
- Atlas Tool
- Media Tool
- Assorted Media
From Logos Pro and up:
- Early access features:
- Older features:
- Print Library Catalog
- Sermon Manager Import
- Sermon Builder Popular Quotations Sidebar
- Text Comparison Interlinears
From Logos Max:
- Older features:
- Auto-Translation
- Lemma in Passage
- Morph Query Engine (this is different from Morph Search)
- Online Manuscript Dataset
If you already own any of these features, their presence on this list does NOT mean they will be taken away from you. It just means that people without these features will likely not have them granted to them via LFL.
