Why Did(n't) You Upgrade to Logos 10?

1. Have you purchased an Logos 10 upgrade (the free basic update doesn't count): Yes
2. What was the primary reason for your upgrade decision? I mistakenly believed I could add my print library to Logos. You can NOT. All you get is a reference to your print library - possibly the volume and page number. If you have and older library there are not any barcodes in your volumes to scan. You can create bar codes with a bar code labeler and self-stick applicator by purchasing these independently.
3. If a reference is all you want, then you may find this upgrade useful. For me it was a total waste of money. Electronic copies are under a separate license so you can't get them with purchasing them separately,
4. I understand there is no subscription model so its very expensive for Logos to host the site for free. They count on the revenue from purchases of products. Im ok with this - they need revenue to stay operational (like payment plans),

1. yes
2. no but I plan to
3. no and I'm undecided
4. no and I plan not to
2. What's the primary reason for your upgrade decision?

1) 1

2) I wanted to be sure I have the ownership of the L10 data sets before subscriptions start. I did not purchase and resources, only the data sets. 

I wanted the latest version without all the new features without all the package books.  And I like to support the upgrades to keep them financially healthy.  I add books whenever I see one I like or a good deal.

1. Yes.

2. I upgrade because I want to stay current on features. I don't necessarily need to--I don't use the majority of Logos tools & features--but my needs may change in the future, and I don't want to be behind and potentially suddenly have to pay a lot to get current. With L10, it was the print library feature that most attracted me to get a full feature upgrade. I had no real reason to wait.

That's my reasoning, which actually probably works more to your (i.e., FaithLife's) benefit than mine.

1. Yes - through FLC

2. I don't remember which features specifically, but I know the print library thing was a hug sell for me, especially in how it would tell you where in the book, even giving a little of the surrounding paragraph/context so you'd know if it was worthwhile finding the book on your shelf (or in my case, in a box).

Years ago I purchased Bible Explorer it had all of the commentaries I wanted and was very simple to use. I could easily set up windows for my Bibles, Commentaries, word search resources and misc. resources. Unfortunately the original cd and unlock floppy have been lost through the years as well as the books I owned on Quickverse. I was able to recover most of the lost books when everything was bought out by Lifeway and they worked with me to recover everything and it worked like I was used to. Now Logos has purchased Wordsearch and discontinued it. In it's place is a complicated program that doesn't do what I want, I can't find one of my favorite commentary sets and yet Logos wants me to spend additional money for what?
