Just Upgraded to Logos 6 Core Engine from 5 - Any ideas for me?

https://community.logos.com/forums/t/92701.aspx

I waited to do a crossgrade for features

Feature Crossgrade or the free Core Engine as per your title? Which Logos 5 crossgrade? These determine the features you get in Logos 6.

Are there any features I should be aware of that are proving especially useful for study of historical background and original word meanings in the text?

No advance for these as much depends on your resources e.g.

Factbook may prove useful for background and Bible Sense (in the Context menu) may provide additional meanings.

Adam:

After following the advice above, if you haven't done so already, you might check the What's New thread that lists the new features. Each feature is linked to another post and most of those indicate which packages or crossgrades include the feature. (That information is usually at the bottom of each post.)

Oh just the core engine upgrade to Logos 6. I do have Factbook with some useful features as well as Bible Sense Lexicon.

These are good links everyone. Lots to look through.

I've got an Atlas resource...is the Atlas tool in Logos 6 even more useful?

The Atlas tool downloads high resolution maps from Faithlife servers; so it does not use your map resources. It is almost as useful as Logos 4/5 Maps, but what feature are you interested in?

This seems like a good place to join in and ask questions! I've also upgraded to Logos 6, just the engine (from Logos 4). I used to use the maps feature quite frequently but now I can't seem to find it. I've found "Atlas" but it tells me I have no maps available. Does this mean what I used to have is no longer available to me without purchasing something?

You should have a resource Biblical Places Maps which comes from Biblical Places in Logos 4, and you can search for maps as follows

I have operated on Logos 4 for some time.

Would it be worth my while to upgrade to the free Logos 6 engine and just maintain my existing resources which are quite substantial.

Absolutely, even just to be on a supported version. But there are lots of new capabilities as well

And welcome to the forums, Graham

can you send me a link of how to do that.

I have logos 4 on my pc at church office and on my laptop at home.

At home the L4 is giving issues with indexing my resources.

Would this upgrade solve the indexing issues?

How does the upgrade affect the fact that I have my logos on two pc's. many thanks garydee

https://www.logos.com/install should give you what you need

Potentially - if not we can look at the specifics of the problem. If it still persists after the upgrade please start a new thread explaining the issue in the Logos forum

You will need to update both PCs. Once you have "bought" the free upgrade on one machine, starting Logos on the other and checking for updates should trigger the update on that one as well

successfully uploaded free L6 engine onto logos 4 on PC at church office, home this evening and trying to load L6 free core engine to upgrade logos 4 on my laptop at home. wont let me add it to the cart?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/764981#Comment_764981

wont let me add it to the cart?

You can't "buy it" again as you already have it.

Instead of trying to add it to the cart does it trigger the download if you type "update now" in the command box in Logos 4 on your laptop?

If that doesn't work you will find the download image at the bottom of https://www.logos.com/product/46767/logos-6-core-engine - you can download that and run it to upgrade to Logos 6

Hope this gets you going.
