OT: Bibleworks ceases operation as of June 15, 2018
I guess this means there is just one direct competitor to Logos in the market for academic bible software:
[quote]
BibleWorks has been serving the church for 26 years by providing a suite of professional tools aimed at enabling students of the Word to “rightly divide the word of truth”. But it has become increasingly apparent over the last few years that the need for our services has diminished to the point where we believe the Lord would have us use our gifts in other ways. Accordingly as of June 15, 2018 BibleWorks will cease operation as a provider of Bible software tools. We make this announcement with sadness, but also with gratitude to God and thankfulness to a multitude of faithful users who have stayed with us for a large part of their adult lives. We know that you will have many questions going forward and we will do our best to answer some of them here.

Thanks for the tip. When I faked the user agent, the prices were listed at the regular rate (minus the 1% dynamic adjustment for the few resources I already own). Jan, you must own a bit already that is offered in the crossover packages. This makes me think that the regular prices are just the baseline for a significantly discounted price for BW users.
Yes, I own Logos 7 Bronze, so I already have many of the non-original-language works in the packages.
I don't quite think though that the prices we see when faking the UA are the final regular prices. Seems more like a work-in-progress.
Why isn't there a price listed for either the BW Upgrade or Crossgrade?
Is this only if you have BW10, or are they including earlier versions? I have BW8.
The product‘s not been officially announced yet and doesn‘t show up in the store even if you search for it. It can only be accessed via that “secret” link. I hope there’ll be a significant discount on the price that was discovered through changing the user agent.
This is my personal Faithlife account. On 1 March 2022, I started working for Faithlife, and have a new 'official' user account. Posts on this account shouldn't be taken as official Faithlife views!

Hi All,
The packages are available by calling the sales department. They have more information on the contents and the discounts. There will be an informational landing page and blog post up later in the day.
All BibleWorks users, regardless of version, are eligible for the discount (with the caveat that they owned BW before June 1). To qualify for the discount, the user must commit to not sell their BibleWorks package. The user may, however, gift it to someone they feel would benefit from it and may not be able to afford a package (e.g. a missionary). Call sales for more details.

Thanks Ben!! Now I feel like I can tell my BW friends about Logos' plan once the landing page goes live. I appreciate the thought going into this.
