Announcement: Logos Now to continue at same price (with new name)
I am sorry for how we communicated the Logos Now / Faithlife Connect change. This was my fault, not the team's.
We have been listening to your feedback and you have caused us to change our plan.
The bottom line: We are reversing this change, and you do not have to do anything. You will be automatically returned to the situation as of two weeks ago, before our announcement.
We are effectively restoring Logos Now at the same price, only with more value. This configuration will be called Faithlife Connect Essentials (No Library), and will come with everything in Faithlife Connect Essentials (https://connect.faithlife.com/) except the subscription-based access to the library.
This is everything Logos Now was and a bit more, and will include other (non-library) improvements/benefits to Faithlife Connect Essentials as they are released.
If you were happy with Logos Now, this is the same, with no change in price. As a Logos Now subscriber, you are grandfathered into this package and price point.
You do not need to take any action. We will cancel the coupon codes and set your subscription to the newly-named package automatically. It is like we are 'undoing' the last two weeks, and simply re-naming your Logos Now subscription and adding a few benefits.
If you previously subscribed to Logos Now but had expired/canceled, we will contact you in the next few weeks with a one-time opportunity to re-subscribe at this grandfathered price.
We will probably offer this configuration to future new base package customers at a mid-way price point, possibly $14.99. (If you cancel your subscription at the grandfathered price, you'd need to pay this new price to restore it.)
If you were happy with the new offer and would prefer to keep the coupon code and the Faithlife Connect Starter subscription, or upgrade to Faithlife Connect Essentials, you can contact us and we'll take care of it.
It will take us a few days to roll out appropriate emails, web pages, and other changes, but since the main impact was already deferred to months away, there's no hurry or need to take any immediate action on your part. And if you're happy to 'go back to what it was', no action is needed at all.
I am very sorry that we failed to clearly communicate our plans and reasoning in advance, and that we caused so many of our faithful customers to feel hurt or surprised. We value our relationship with you, and are sorry to have damaged it in any way.
I hope you will forgive us, and accept this apology and change of plans.
It is our understanding that this announcement restores every user to a better situation with absolutely no change in cost.
For more than 25 years we have endeavored to use technology to equip the Church to grow in the light of the Bible, and to earn your trust . I am sorry for letting you down, and hope that this change has come quickly enough to restore your confidence in us.

Are you doing away with the $200 coupon?

Thank you Bob. This is good news! Excuse the double post accidentally hit post when returning to original screen. Will delete.

Thanks, Bob. Never lost confidence in you, though I set my subscription not to auto-renew. If I could change LN Now to auto-renew, I would've already done so. (It doesn't appear to let me.)
Blessings, & thanks.
Now, we just have to figure out our part to keeping you in business.
Grace & Peace,

This kind of makes my head hurt. I was trying to adjust to the new subscription to see if it would work for me. I can't find any books to purchase in Deals because they're not discounted or in Lexham Originals because they're grayed out, so I'm undecided on Connect Essentials. But now it's gone? I'm going to wait until the end of March and have CS explain it to me.
Dale Heath[:)][:D][:O][:P][;)][:(][H][:@][A][6][8-|][][st][8o|][^o)][+o(][^][U][G] you get the idea.
I have a question. What if you have already used the coupon code and say that you purchased the FFS and a few other resources? When the change reverts back to the previous LN or to Faithlife Connect Essentials No Library (instead of Faithlife Connect Starter), will the FFS and other resources be gone as well?
Thanks
thank you!I'm undecided on Connect Essentials. But now it's gone?No, all the other Faithlife Connect configurations are still there. We just added a new Faithlife Connect Essentials (No Library) option for Logos Now customers, and those who prefer to own their library.

Are you doing away with the $200 coupon?If you were happy with the new offer and would prefer to keep the coupon code and the Faithlife Connect Starter subscription, or upgrade to Faithlife Connect Essentials, you can contact us and we'll take care of it.
I'm curious about what happens to folks that may have already used the coupon code to purchase the L7 Feature Set? I personally didn't use it, but I'm sure some folks will be wondering.

This is the question I have, however, I have used the code.

Thanks, Bob. Great decision, and very much appreciated.
It doesn't look like I can reset my Logos Now subscription to auto-renew or that the "No Library" version of Essentials shows up yet. I'll assume that those details will be addressed shortly.

The above tells me my Connect Essentials subscription is gone and I will have to do something if I want it. Again, I will call CS later in March and have them explain it to me.[+o(]

I am/was/still a LN annual subscriber but from this post can I take it as I'll return to my LN annual @ the $99/year rate? Will there be a monthly option added as well?
Thank you! As always, you are much too generous. I really appreciate the continued privilege of access to new features for a more than fair price.
Bob,
Thank you. Wonderful decision!
It's good to know that FL values the both the input (even if written in fear and deep emotion) and the suggestions of your customers. You have righted the course!
This announcement is a reminder to me that even a large company can have ears and a heart.
Thank you, again. This decision is a true blessing!
I just can't thank you enough. Really.
When L8 arrives will we be able to use the coupon code that was sent to us if we haven't already used it?

I’d actually already spent mine but definitely want to stick with this plan, so I’ve requested a refund on my purchase and requested that my voucher be cancelled off - they haven’t (clearly) stated that this refund is necessary but I’m more than happy at the way things have been handled here, and don’t want to exploit the situation or confuse matters.
