Copy books to another computer

I want to be able to copy books I own (Vyrso & Logos) to my computer at work so I can look up some basic things I have read or seen at home. I DO NOT want to download over 3,500 resources I own. I also have Logos & Vyrso on my Android phone, so if I need more I can look them up on it. I have downloaded Logos 4 from the internet and installed it at work, but it wants to download everything I own (which is over 8GB and I don't have the capabilty to download that much, nor do I want all that). How can I select specific resources without downloading my whole library (e.g. a few bible translations, and books)?

You can't select which books to install to the desktop app. The best I can suggest is:

At home

backup the Resource folder to a removable device
use the Resource Information page (from an open tab) to get file names
delete files(*.lbxlls, *.logos4 only) in the backup Resource folder except for the ones you want**

At work

set Automatically download Updates to No in Tools > Program Settings
use the command scan F: --> replace F: with the drive letter of the removable device from home
restart Logos to index the resources

To update the Logos4 software you will have to use this link http://downloads.logos.com/LBS4/Installer/Logos4Setup.exe

** after this initial population, which includes important data sets, you need only backup the resources/books you want added to the work folder.

Thanks for your help. I was able to copy the files and place them on my computer. One problem I discovered: for scan to work it must be scan e:\. Without the "\" it didn't work.

However, the files I copied are dated early 2011. I also found files on the website for Libronix that I can download. The files I really want are Vyrso & newer Logos 4 files. Without downloading the whole library is there anyway to get them?

Are you saying you didn't copy the files you wanted?

Just download them at home, copy the ones you want to removable device & install them at office as I described. Am I missing something here?

Another potential solution: Try using biblia.com. Most of your mobile enabled resources will appear. Logos isn't really designed to do what you are asking and any solution given would be more trouble than its worth (in my opinion). [;)]

I looked at Biblia and it is good, but requires an internet connection. Unfortunately, that is often a problem where I am, so I was looking to work offline.

Dave,

I found the problem. I got a new laptop earlier in the year and transferred my files from my old desktop. I was copying from My Documents\Logos 4\ which apparently is where Libronix files were stored. I just recently saw another thread where someone was asking about where PBB's were located. So I checked the location and found the new Logos 4 & Vyrso files. Since this is so hard to find, I'm recording it here for all to know: c:\users\your name\appdata\local\Logos\{random string}\ResourceManager\Resources\.

Thanks again for your help!

That should be c:\Users\your name\appdata\local\Logos4\Data\random string\ResourceManager\Resources\.
