If I allow Logos Now subscription to lapse, what will I lose?

I've considered not renewing LN, when the annual renewal comes up, and purchase the extended feature set instead. I realize that I would lose the latest iterations that would be included in the next major update and some discounts.

Other than that, is there anything else that keeps you with LN? I could buy the EFS for $207.56 (today) and keep LN, but that seems a redundant purchase.

Thanks.

    Preview resources every month? Temporary access to a Mobile Ed course?

    I have always viewed the annual subscription as early access to what's coming down the line. Everything else has been exceptionally generous icing on that cake, to me.

    Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

    Thanks. That's true, though these aren't really important to me. I can see how they would be to others.

    Anything else? What about Visual Copy? Are there LN advantages with VC? I do like using Visual Copy for PowerPoint Bible studies.

    There are some features that rely on internet access to populate.

    Is the concordance feature one of them?

    The best way of checking this is by going to https://www.logos.com/compare/feature-sets

    The column marked 'Logos Cloud Feature Set' shows what you get with Logos Now (or at least what you got with Logos Now when L7 was released).

    Switching from Now to the Extended Feature Set would mean you would lose:

    • Access to app.logos.com
    • Books.Logos.com Subscription
    • Lemma in Passage
    • Animated videos (Biblescreen Animations, Sermon Animations, etc.)
    • Author Slide Templates
    • Bible Screen Animations
    • Curated Online Video
    • Daily Audio Bible Video Collection
    • DeSilva Teaching Materials, Volume 2
    • Lexham Bible Dictionary Videos
    • Logos Media Archive, vol. 2
    • Logos Stock Media, vol. 2
    • Mars Hill Media Collection
    • Proclaim Starter Media
    • Proverbs Verse Art Collection
    • Visual Copy Templates

    You would also gain several resources that you don't get in Now (assuming you don't already own them).

    Bear in mind that the chart hasn't been updated to take into account the latest Now features. For example the HCSB reverse-interlinear is showing as now available in Now, but it is. You can check individual items by going onto the product page, and looking at the "This title is included as a part of the following collections" section.

    As you can see from my list above, there are additional VC templates with Now. If you want to see what's included in each package, open the Media Browser, and click on the appropriate package under "Media Collection". For example, you can see that Visual Copy Templates comprises of 521 slides. You might well miss these templates, judging by what you've said.

    Thanks, Mark. I did not realize that the Logos Cloud Feature set was Logos Now. I decided to forego purchasing any feature sets and stay with LN.
