SUGGESTION: Retiree Logos license

I'd like to see Logos make a minor change to their licensing. For retirees not in the ministry, it would be nice to be able to share one's license with someone in the ministry (in my case a daughter-in-law) who is still in the ministry. It would provide considerably more motivation to continue to enlarging one's library (in my case in the Lutheran direction) while providing a resources to someone who can't afford them. The Idea would be for the library to eventually be inherited by the shared licensee. Paying an annual fee for the option would be an option.

Are you announcing your retirement? Hmmm, I'm just tired. [:^)]

I've been tired a lot in the past, and I'm tired again, so I must be retired. As is my car when the treads wear out.

I think this is a great idea - thanks for making the suggestion.[Y]

I once suggested a retiree license but was told by Dan Pritchett that it may be difficult to market a license that was "good till you die." I think differently. I believe it would be well received.

I thought all licenses are "good till you die" (and even longer if you transfer them).

I hope it's many years before someone else find's out if its "good after I die", but marketed properly this I think would be a unique feature that just puts Logos further ahead of it's rivals. I also would think having something like this in place would be a positive.

The bigger question would be around eligibility rules and proof, first for what qualifies you to be a donor, and second what if any eligibility rules for the recipient. And on the rules regarding the donor do you open them up for someone who is terminally ill regardless of age and want's to sort this out as part of putting their earthly affairs in place before they graduate to heaven.

All that of course leads to Bob's conundrum - he doesn't like rules - and there I feel is where you selling point on the idea struggles.

Bob prove me wrong and make this work, continue to set apart Logos from the rest.
