I have all my old CDs and floppies dating back to 1.6 days. Do I need to keep all these for any reason now that Logos downloads all my books? I would like to declutter my office. :)
Never know when a system crash will happen 🤡
You could give them to Bob to decorate his office or start a Logos Museum.

It's likely that many books have been updated to the most recent resource format, and Logos 3 (Libronix) is the only version with a chance of being installed on recent (Windows) operating systems, but see this announcement.
So the best safeguard is to backup your current Resources folder then declutter your office.

Thanks for the advice and for your link.
Thanks for asking this question. I have a drawer full of Old CDs I will be throwing them away when I clean up tomorrow, or maybe next week.

I called Logos years ago and they were able to unlock some books I had on CD. ONce unlocked, i think you can safely discard those floppy discs.

If all your resources are registered with your Logos account then you don't need to keep your physical media. Any backup you need in future will come directly from Logos' servers.
If you haven't yet registered your old resources with Logos then give them a call or send an email. It used to be that Libronix users had their licences uploaded via the Libronix programme, which automatically registered the products with the user's Logos account. Now, in the post-Libronix epoch, you can just contact Logos directly with the product name and unlock code, and they'll add the resources to your account.
Happy decluttering!

I've always been partial to next week.

I'm sure I don't need them, but I hang on to the CD's anyway. I've got quite a few (approx 100+), but most are in paper sleeves, so they don't take up much room. They're all in one box - a bit bigger than a shoe box.

I think most of the CDs can be safely discarded but you might want to make sure that none of them contain any bonus material in a non-Logos format (pdf, video or audio files).
If I remember correctly the Oswald Chambers CDrom contains a video interview with his daughter. The Sproul Digital Library CD also contains several audio and video files that were not imported into Logos.
Came across Logos Bible Clipart and Logos Bible Atlas which no longer work on Windows 10, even with compatibility turned all the way back. I still like the old atlas, and how it worked, better than anything they have come up with since. Especially the 3D option you could rotate and zoom in and out of.
HJ. van der Wal: The Sproul Digital Library CD also contains several audio and video files that were not imported into Logos.
Also, the first MacArthur lifeworks set (from Nelson, I think) had a boatload of audio books.

Did those integrate into Libronix?
It seems to me that there used to be a wiki page listing resources which haven't been imported into L4+, but I can't find it now.

I don't think so.
