How do I log out of Logos?

Say I am on a computer at church. If I install Logos to an account others have access to and log out, I am assuming they will not have access to my library or files, which I want to keep private.

But, how do I log out?

I see that I can quit the program then restart with the cmd key down, but erasing my credentials will not keep me logged out the next time I restart.

AFAIK there is no built in method for logging out. Since it's not supposed to be a traditional log in beyond acquiring and using your license in order to download and initialize your library.

Your best bet would be to install it on said computer under a password protected user account specific to yourself. Let others use whatever generic PC account is set up for public use.

Your licensing agreement allows you to install Logos on as many computers as you own for your own personal use. The licensing agreement doesn't allow you to install Logos on someone else's computer. If you are employed by a church and the church is providing you with a computer to use, you should be able to install it on that computer. If multiple users have access to the computer, you should install Logos on a private user account that is password protected.

There is a built-in method for logging out of your account. Just start Logos with the Ctrl key held down, and it will open you up to the login dialog box. Click "Work Offline".

But logging out of Logos is not equivalent to preventing others from having access to your library and files. All it does is prevent Logos from accessing the Internet (e.g., to download updates or sync your documents and preferences) while you're using it. People on that computer would still be able to access your stuff. So this would not be sufficient.

As others have suggested, the only way to prevent others from having access to it on a shared computer is to install it in a password protected user account and log out of your Windows account when you step away from the computer. (I'm assuming this is Windows, not Mac; I don't know what the equivalent would be for Mac, if it's possible.)

It is the same on Mac.

Have you considered using Biblia.com for access when not on your personal computer? Although it is somewhat stripped down, it does give you full access to your library, search, and notes.

Thanks all for the help, clarification, and advice.

It sounds like a separate user account is the best way.

Welcome [:D]

Newer alternative is using Logos web app => https://app.logos.com OR Verbum web app => https://app.verbum.com
