Will anyone in the know explain simply to me the pros and cons of having"Now"?
It allows access to new capabilities within the software as they are developed, access to new datasets and access to the (under development) web app.
I am not aware of any cons apart from the monthly / annual cost.
I don't see any cons either other than if you few the small fee a con. I love having access to exciting new features that continue to grow.
Pros:
Cons:
No cons at all with Logos Now. The con is with the Web App not being free for all. [:)]
Cons: Gotta pay a small amount for it each month.
I don't remember for sure, but I think "Logos Now" subscribers get a discount on Logos 7 when it comes out, so that helps offset the monthly cost. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
That is a possibility, but there is no promise of a discount one way or another. Sorry I can't give any more details than that. (I simply don't have them.)
I got ya. I was thinking of this exchange:
If one subscribes to Logos Now and part of it an early shortcut to features that will be in L7, will any or all of the subscription cost be applied to L7 will it becomes available? Will some or part of the subscription fee apply to the full upgrade of the next version of Logos when it is available? That's not a part of the current plan, but we reserve the right to change the plan. We plan to offer special deals and discounts to Now subscribers. It's possible that might include future upgrade sales. It's our desire to keep you happy, so you can be sure we'll do our best to make that happen.

There were indeed no allowances made that there would be discounts going in to Logos 7. Thanks!
No cons for me. I find it worth the price for the Web App alone.
The only con for me was canceling Netflix to get Now. But, I am better off without it...so I guess there are no cons.
In case it's not already clear, the biggest negative of Logos Now is that if you stop subscribing your lose access to the Logos Now features and datasets. In other words it's a rental, not a purchase.
For me, the extra features of Logos Now are easily worth $100/year, so I don't mind too much.
It may be possible to say that as more Users have subscribed to NOW, Logos has more motivation [and ability] to produce more dataset features for us all.
