Getting Faithlife for Logos Desktop programs

There used to be a link on the Faithlife promo Web page to add Faithlife notes to your
Logos desktop software. But now the Faithlife page only lists links for
mobile apps.

I note that the Faithlife notes are now part of the Logos 5 base collection.

Is there any way for a person to get the Faithlife notes for Logos without buying a base collection?

Will people who have Logos 4 base collections also get the Faithlife notes automatically?

    Yes, they are. Usually we call them just the FSB or Faithlife Study Bible to differentiate from Community Notes which are a FaithLife driven feature, too (in this case, referring to Faithlife.com and especially the groups there).

    Sure, I assume that once you got a licence for the FSB the resources will automatically download to your PC.

    No, since it is not part of a L4 base package. You'll need to get the licence (until last week it was "signing up", not sure about the technical steps in the process now)

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    That is what I am trying to figure out. Before I try to use FSB with a group, I want to be clear on the process of getting the FSB. Most people will not have a Logos base package, but some have Logos 4. How does a person "sign up" now?

    Starting today, the FSB (notes, media, dictionary, etc.) is free for the first 2.5 million users. Just use this blog post and follow the link to the giveaway page to download mobile apps, or use it online.

    If someone has Logos 4/5 the resources will work there, too, though the Logos 5 engine isn't available for free download yet.
