I'm happy to announce that the current batch of Wordsearch licenses we received from LifeWay has been fully processed and added to customers' Logos accounts.
You can see your licenses and check the status of the associated Logos resources at https://www.logos.com/wordsearch/library-migration. (See https://community.logos.com/forums/p/193953/1118097.aspx#1118097 for an explanation of the different statuses.)
If you're not seeing your licenses, please read https://blog.wordsearchbible.com/2020/09/24/9-reasons-you-might-not-see-your-books-yet-and-what-to-do-about-it/ to see if any of those reasons apply to you and follow any instructions on that page.
Finally, if you have any questions, post here and we'd be happy to help you. It does help if you're able to provide the Book ID(s) for any Wordsearch resources in question. You can find this by right-clicking a book in your WS library and choosing "Properties".
I hope there is a chorus of Amens (or whatever word or phrase your tradition uses).
Good job Faithlife crew. I imagine everyone is quite tired.
Now the rest of us will wait for the release of works we've long wanted.

I'm amazed at how many resources are already available in my library. Impressive to say the least!
I noticed that all titles (at least from those I checked) from the theology bundle from Wordsearch do not show up as yet, even when they are available in the store (Berkhof's Systematic Theology for instance).

Are these bundles going to be part of a future batch of licenses?
This seems like a good thread to Sticky, at least for now. (It is odd to me that there are zero Sticky threads in this forum right now.)

Very good news. Thanks for your continued efforts.It's been an interesting week, to say the least, I can't imagine how much crazier it's been for staff
Hi Bradley,
The first listed item came over as an ebook not a logos research edition. The second only partly came over (Philippians came over but not Colossians and Philemon). I see that Logos split Philippians from Colossians and Philemon whereas WS had them together. Thanks! Does this fall under the need to work out with publisher category? Thanks!

Blessings in Christ.
Thank you for your hard work. I saw a couple hundred more of my resources come over from WS today. Still waiting on a few hundred more.
On another note, I was looking through my list of WS resources that are still coming over to Logos and noticed this entry:
It just says 'Unknown' after the Book ID. How do I find out what that resources is?
Thanks,
David

Logos' resources are copyright 2007 and 1989 respectively, so they may be different editions, and that may be why they're not linked. I'm asking about this.
I don't see fire Bible yet. Is there any reason?

What's the Book ID? Book ID 8:18 (from that bundle) is already linked to the corresponding Logos resource.
Thanks again! That's really great.
Bug reports:
These titles are shown in https://www.logos.com/wordsearch/catalog as "Not Started" but not shown in https://www.logos.com/wordsearch/library-migration at all:
The followings are titles that are in WORDsearch catalog but not shown in https://www.logos.com/wordsearch/catalog . There may be no plan for Logos to migrate these, but may be easier if they are shown in https://www.logos.com/wordsearch/catalog as something like "Not planned".
Kolen Cheung: Thanks again! That's really great. Bug reports:
Thanks for putting this list together!
We'll take a closer look next week.
The book ID for Berkhof's Systematic Theology is
0-8028-3020-X
Edit - more just downloaded. Berkhof included.
You guys are doing an awesome job!
Thanks for your hard work. I have three series works in which licenses have not transferred. Could you look into that? Thanks.

1. Understanding the Bible Commentary
2. The Expositor's Bible

3. The Sermon Bible
Here is a list of my books that have been" in progress" for 3-4 days now...and the bottom half that hasn't "started yet" just wondering what is the status. These all have been purchased under one WS email account....and no prior Logos account...Thank you for the free service of transferring and converting process of this massive and tedious task of importing some much digital information. I look forward to The Logos experience and i must say I am impressed with the platform. I would like to do that with complete series and a complete Library..so with that THANK YOU in advance for your reply. And many Blessings to you and your team

Faithlife has committed to try to have these transitioned from Ebook to Logos Research editions by the end of 2020. The sheer volume of work means we are talking about weeks/months not days before "in process" will be complete. Fortunately you can still use them fully in your existing Wordsearch program (and limited use in Logos) until the migration is complete.

This is exactly right. We've set a goal of end of year for getting several thousand resources converted, so we fully expect that some of these may not be available for months.

Thanks for reporting all the Book IDs; that's helpful. We do not have those licenses on your account and I've started an inquiry to find out why. Unfortunately, this may take a few days; thanks for your patience.
I just did a quick count and I still have 199 not started and ~430 in process to the various levels. I have already had ~1300 fully developed. Thank you for all the hard work!
