I only have a small main drive and wish to store Logos books on an external drive. If this possible? If so, how? Thanks
The most easy way is to do a complete install of Logos on an external SSD (make sure it is NTFS formatted). This solution is not officially supported by Logos (and the possible but more complex separation of program and resources is not supported either), but works without any issues.
You can do this using the steps below. This was discussed on this forum - you can search for "mklink"
Note that the Resources folder is not the only one which potentially takes a lot of space, e.g. the LibraryCatalog and LibraryIndex folders could also use significant space. You can move them using the same method as the Resources folder.
If you want to do a complete install of Logos on an external SSD, you can search this forum for "InstallDirectory", or follow these steps: 1) for clean installation, uninstall previous Logos via Add/Remove Programs, and delete folders %LocalAppData%\Logos %LocalAppData%\Faithlife It is possible to move the installation too, without uninstalling and reinstalling - see e.g.
2) run regedit (Windows+R regedit) 3) inside regedit, create folder (if it does not already exist): HKCU\Software\Logos4 4) inside the HKCU\Software\Logos4 folder, add (or change) string "InstallDirectory" with value "E:\Logos" (or whatever is your desired path for the Logos installation) 5) run Logos installer, and it will install to the new location
That's great. Thank you both for your help.

Not necessary. The Installer has a Custom option which allows you to input the desired location. Using Regedit to change any parameter of an existing installation should be avoided.

I concur. Simply say the installer to install at e.g. G.\ if that's the external drive where you want it to live.
If you are scared about completely uninstalling Logos first, you can install Verbum onto the external drive and see that it works flawlessly, then uninstall Logos on the internal drive when you feel good about it.
That's great thank you. I am happy to do a clean install as I am setting up on a new machine. thanks

Can anyone tell me how to get this button back in my sermon builder? I really loved this feature and one day, I opened sermon builder and it was gone. I even signed up for pro subscription thinking maybe logos made it a part of this new subscription base service and nothing. I do not regret getting the pro subscription but…
I am presently using a MacBook Pro for home use, and an iPad 10 for using Logos out of the home. I sometimes get frustrated with the limitations of the iPad Logos version. I am considering getting a Mac Air. I don't want to overbuy. I take care of and keep my electronic devices for a long time. For those who have the Mac…
I just signed up I have 30 day to kick the tires of Logos Pro. The AI search bar first thing it said was How can I know I am a Christian? I typed that in and it bring up a bunch of Bible verses. is that the big deal? I can seach using the passage or topic and find the same thing. Is there something I am not getting? Is…
Wanting the full text to show in my notes of my scripture anchors. To me there’s isn’t any rhyme or reason as to when it shows full text vs just the reference. I have tried every which way but sideways and can’t for the life of me find a way for the full text to show consistently. I select/highlight exactly the same way…
I just purchased the RSB update (Many years ago i purchased the first edition). However the image in my Logos doesn’t match the image on the website. I’m not sure if it actually updated.
