Just read on Facebook that full version is Oct., 2010.
Actually, Logos 4 Mac is “shipping” right now. We have a few more goodies to include, so we aren’t calling it “final” until October.Now is the time to buy. The sale is on now, the downloads are ready to go, and everyone who buys today will automatically get a free download of the final release version on October 1!
There are PRIZES man. You can't forget to mention the PRIZES!
DId I mention - there are PRIZES? Man, there ARE PRIZES!!!
Oh, and there are discounts, too.
And we've even had a promise to squash the "too cool for my Mac" bug!
I still can't believe that!!! [*-)] ... [;)]
Waiting until October 1 is worse than reindexing... during the day!
Might be a Dorky question, and if i don't ask noone probably will. If we already have L4 Windows and will L4 Mac Be Shipped Free? If we are Running L4 Win? I have been using since alpha and Beta Stages..
Thanks
David !!!
David,
All you have to do is download the installer for Mac and L4 will do the rest. :-)
And Congratulations to all of my Mac Brethren! Feature Parity here we come!
I am confused. What i already bought, I get the final version right? Its not free...I bought it...RIGHT?
Most likely what Logos sold you was one of their packages. The engine has always been free, at least from 2004 when I started using it. The package determines whether all of the features were available. The free engine will not give you Biblical people, things and places, or the interlinears.
The Mac engine will be free from now on. You can download the (very early) alpha at: http://downloads.logos.com/LBS4/LBS4MacInstaller/Logos4Mac.dmg We do strongly recommend at least the minimal crossgrade, because it comes with some fantastic content that helps Logos 4 really shine, but it's not at all required. Sorry for the confusion!

When you buy a Logos 4 base package, you can use that package on Windows, Mac and/or iOS device. The Windows and Mac engines are free downloads from our website. The iOS app is free in Apple's App Store. If you bought a Logos 4 Base package and have been using it with the Windows engine, you can download the Mac engine for free now (Beta 7) or when we ship (October 1) or anytime in between.

Very few software companies allow you to use the same software via different platforms or on multiple computers.
Like Adobe... They sure don't...

This is a bit confusing. Unless there has been a change to the model, everyone who has bought (including those who buy today) will get a free download to the final release version.
All that aside... it is so good to see us go Gold in October!
That was lovely news to wake up to this morning. [ip]
A big thank-you to all the developers who have worked so tirelessly to achieve this. [:D]
God's richest blessing to all of you.

Great to see this news as I've had the Mac version since before the alpha turned teenager. Sadly slightly tainted by the fact that I'm not a US resident and so excluded from the prizes party. But hey, well done guys.
From a Win person
Congrats!!
Good going MAC Devs!!
It's a trick. Get an axe!
Actually, a Mac wannabe! [8-|] Robert, be sure to register. You could win a Mac! Then you will also be cool [H]
I just want to ask...what are those few more goodies for the full version?????
From a Win person It's a trick. Get an axe!
No, it's not. I'll vouch for him! Robert is an okay guy who just wishes he had a Mac.

The reason it's confusing is that it isn't directed towards you: it's meant for all those people who are just now tuning in and don't know any better [:)].
Mostly things like "speed" and "stability" and "things we haven't decided on (and therefore can't tell you about), yet"
From a Win person It's a trick. Get an axe! No, it's not. I'll vouch for him! Robert is an okay guy who just wishes he had a Mac.
Should we all pray that Robert will win the Grand Prize? Can I be that unselfish?
Of course, you can, Jack. 1 Corinthians 10:13
Please something like Handout feature... or sermon file
The best solution would be for all of you to withdraw all your entries into the contest while you pray for the right person to win. Meanwhile, I'll be praying and making sure God knows who the right person is...
As we've stated unequivocally in the forums before, Handouts will not be in the initial Mac release.
According to this page, sermon file will is not scheduled for inclusion until 2011.
@Cam- soooooo no "HANDOUTS" for Mac at all??
Not on initial release, but later: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/19163/144771.aspx#144771
Awesome, awesome work Mac Devs. I have been through two Mac product cycles with you now and you continue to blow me away. I know the first product was developed in a different manner but kudos all around just the same!
Actually, a Mac wannabe! Robert, be sure to register. You could win a Mac! Then you will also be cool
Jack,
I'm glad you said that...I didn't know i could register....I thought it was for MAC users only!!! Yipee!!!
From the announcement:
I’m a Windows user. Is this just for Mac users?
No. The special discounted pricing is good for both Mac and Windows users. So if you missed out on our launch specials last November or you wish you had upgraded to an even higher base package, here’s your second chance to save big! Windows users are also welcome to participate in the Ship Day Giveaway.
Hey Cameron...
I'm "in" right? The fix is in? I'm guaranteed to win a MAC.....
don't tell anyone.....it's our secret....

You make it hard to pray that you will an iMac (See my post above). I'll have to say, "Lord, is Robert mature enough to handle a Mac? Can he really effectively use a grown-up machine?" [8-|]
what if I already purchased the logos 4 for Windows with logos 4 mac option?
We need a little more information in order to answer this question.
1 Can you still enter the contest to win a new Mac? Yes.
2 Can you upgrade your purchase at a really good price? Yes.
3 Can you reverse your purchase and repurchase at the discount price? How long ago did you make your purchase? Call sales and see what they can do for you. I talk with Santiago and recommend him without reservation.
4 When you purchase L4, you purchase a license that covers both the Mac and Windows versions on as many computers as you personally use. For the purposes of this, you are your wife are considered one—which is thoroughly Biblical—for most cases (If you pastor a church and you wife teaches seminary, Logos will then consider you to be two separate users).
I don't understand this question. If you already have Logos 4, you already have Logos 4. Which engine you use (Mac, Windows, iPhone) is up to you. You can have 3 Macs and 4 PCs an iPhone, an iPad and an iPod Touch (please, don't anybody call it an iTouch) all running Logos 4 (or the Logos iOS app) under one license. The limiting factor is that the license is for one user. There's a good discussion of what the means here.
We don't even have separate SKUs in the store. When you put a Logos 4 base package in your cart on the website, you cannot specify a platform choice. This is not a mistake.
Now, if you want to upgrade the Logos 4 package you have, say, from Leader's Library to Portfolio, now seems like as good a time as any. But you don't have to upgrade if you already own a Logos 4 package.
sorry for my brevity...I mean I bought full version back when it first was released in Nov, but obviously the Mac version is still in beta, how do I get the full version when it is officially released...is it just a download like all of the alpha-beta releases, or is it a cd in the mail, or is the current beta version essentially the same as the official release?
haha, yes!
I'll pray that Robert wins, but only because I not eligible to enter since I don't reside in the US or Canada.....[:'(]
..... I'd take a free MAC or iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch even..... but I'd just have to make sure knew I'd crossed to the dark side... the MAC especially since I could then get in on beta Testing on that platform.... so I could make sure Logos doesn't slip in any extra features in the MAC version
All the same I sent out the link on Twitter and posted it on my facebook page. Dare I say it I know a few people that use MAC's. [6]
It would just be a download Chris.
how do I get the full version when it is officially released...is it just a download like all of the alpha-beta releases, or is it a cd in the mail, or is the current beta version essentially the same as the official release?
May I add my thanks for the Mac Developers, please?
I've moved house and been away on church work (plus a sneaky little family holiday) since the beginning of June. As a result I haven't had as much time with the software or the forums as I would have liked, but as a result I've effectively jumped from Alpha 21 to Beta 7. What can I say? Wow! Can't wait until October.
Thanks, guys! My leap of faith buying a base package in January (and giving in to the upgrade temptation in May) has been vindicated. [:D]
