Is it possible to view the textual apparatus of the Nestle-Aland within Logos? It is great to have the text available in class, but frustrating to not have access to the apparatus. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I believe you'll need to get the SESB package to get the apparatus:

Yes, you have to purchase SESB. It is spendy, but well worth it. You get NA27 and UBS4 apparatus, and the BHS apparatus along with many other language tools. If you are in seminary, as I am and you said something about class, it is very worth having.
BTW there are two versions of the SESB 3.0. The version I linked to is a scaled back version that has the NA27 apparatus but the not UBS4 apparatus. The version Alan linked to has the UBS apparatus and a lot more stuff, but if you only want the NA27 apparatus it may be overkill.
Quite frankly, the difference between having and not having the SESB and not having it is like studying in a dimly lit room with sunglasses (w/out the SESB) and then having somebody turn the light on and take your sunglasses away. I can't imagine Logos without the SESB.
I will add my voice to the others. I have used SESB for over a year now and do not regret spending the extra money at all! I upgraded to 3.0 as soon as it came out. If you have the cash, get SESB 3.0.
That is quite a statement... Could you (or anyone else that uses SESB) please explain to me what features of the SESB that you appreciate so much? Are there search features that are unique to SESB? Secondarily, I have been comparing the SESB and SESB for Logos Users versions. Given that I plan to upgrade to L4 Platinum, I will already have the Apostolic Fathers in Greek, BDAG, etc. Is the full-blown SESB still worth the difference in price?
Thanks for your help!

It is exactly my question also. I have Platinum. What can I get more from the SESB except the Aparatuses? I would really like to see the possibility to buy just Aparatuses separately through Logos by download.
Bohuslav, have you looked at the 52 volumes in SESB 3.0
The apparatus are separate resources from the actual BHS and NA27 - so you need all 4 of them. And I can't go back to reading any other NA27 or BHS after having ones that replicate perfectly my printed editions.
You also have available many fascicles from the developinhg BHQ.
Plus, apparatus for LXX, Vulgate, UBS4
All of these make even a $300 price seem very reasonable.

So you mean NA27 and BHS of SESB is different than what we have in Logos? I was actually commenting the lighter version of SESB. I like very much the full European version also for all the European languages and many other tools. You are right.
