What to do if someone buys a book for you w/their account ID

A friend of mine bought me THE WORD OF GOD IN ENGLISH and did not download it

but instead gave me his account info so I could download it, which I did.

But I can not get it to open in Logos 3 or Logos 4. Does anyone know how to open a book

someone else gives you?

Your friend will need to transfer the registration of that book over to you, which he can do by calling Logos Customer Service. There is a fee to do this transfer.

wow

that was really quick!

thanks so much ...

is there a better way to do this sort of thing in the future?

i hope the fee's not too much =(

As far as I know, there's no way to buy a downloadable resource for someone else.  If it's available on CD or DVD, someone else can buy that and give it to you because it comes with a license key that you enter in, then it becomes licensed to you.

Edit: ah yes, they can call (as Rosie said), but it's probably Sales (and not CS) to buy a new item.

The other option is to kill your friend.  I had a close friend in the church I was serving die suddenly.  His widow wanted to give me whatever resources he had that I didn't.  There were only 3-4.  Logos had her fill out a transfer form and we faxed it back in.  If the person dies, there is no transfer fee.  (I guess that's one of the benefits of dying). 

It used to be that you could not transfer downloadable resources.  They changed that policy about 18 months ago after several of us protested.

For you literalists there, I'm just kidding about killing him....   I think......

You may be kidding but it does sound like it would be a possible solution. Just not advisable. [:D]

Well, in prison there will be a lot of time to study Logos, or not?

Well Bohuslav, apparently you have missed several cases recently where the death of one only garnered a hand slap and a probation period. The term justice is getting all wierd here in the states. I use as a strange example 300lb woman sits on 120 lb boyfriend and kills him after arguement.[8-)]
