It is unlikely that you will be able to install it unless you are using XP or older, if you call Logos and give them the number of it they can unlock anything you own off the disc. Unless it is an old Catholic disk, in which case the Jerome Biblical commentary would be the item needed off the disc.

- Logos 2 will install on Windows Vista 32 bit and older.
- Logos 2 products do not have unlock codes, so Logos customer service will be unable to unlock books until the product is installed.
- Jerome Bible Commentary resides on the Logos servers, so it is unnecessary to install this book on L5 from disc.

Yes! Install on Windows Vista 32 bit or older. Export license file once installed. Send Logos an email with the license file. Once this is completed, Logos can unlock the books so that they are automatically downloaded into L5.

Apologies for my ignorance on the compatibility. When I got my copy of catholic Library Logos had to manually unlock it and at that time in 2009 the libronix file was not on Logos servers (mac Libronix never support LLS files) and Phil Gones generously made a copy of his file available for me to download from his personal server. I had not realized 2.0 was compatible with Vista as long as it is a 32bit version. And I am most happy if the JBC file is now available on the Logos servers. Thank you for clarifying these issues.

I did not read that you said it was[Logos Bible software 2.0]. that was/is an assumption made by another poster - does it say anywhere on the disk that it is?

It was less an assumption than a "what if", my Disc is clearly labeled Catholic, I had just known that all files were on the sever except the Jerome Biblical Commentary since Logos lost the rights to distribute it (JBC.lbxlls is currently not in the ftp.logos.com/LBXBooks). My concern was IF it was a catholic disc, he would need to locate the file elsewhere. Rest assured if the disc dosen't have the word Catholic on it it is not.

No apologies necessary Dan. Installing Logos 2 products is a confusing endeavor at this point. It does not help that Logos fails to provide clear and accessible documentation for installing L2 products. As I have uncovered a number of L2 products in the past few years, I have learned the proper procedure for installing them so that they are accessible in Logos 5.

Do you have this package? http://wiki.logos.com/Logos_2.0_Level_4 Although this package is not Catholic, it does contain some Catholic works. By the way, this package requires that you install from a 3.5 floppy disc and a CD. For this package, a CD without the floppy disc or a floppy disc without the CD is worthless.

The above picture is what I have... I dont have anything else...
Can I just copy the .lix or .lsf files over to logos 5?

I have some OLLDDDD logos 2 floppy disks... 2 of 3 I think, paid a dollar or something at a garage sale... Hoping to FIND a floppy drive so that I can see whats on them at least.
I also have a CD for the dead sea scrolls library (L3 - and came with the two floppies). Not sure if I have the key or not. But I figured for a dollar, it was worth checking into.

I wonder if scan d:\filelocation\ would find older resources?

No.

Doubtful because scan checks resource(s) with unlocked list.

An alternative is importing license file into Libronix 3, then sync licenses, which also unlocks resources for Logos 5 use. After resource license is associated with Logos account, could use scan command and restart Logos 5.

I did install them to librinix 3. I can't find the unlock codes.
Any suggestions?0 -
Jacob, I think KSFJ meant to install then in Logos2, backup the licenses.
Then go over to Libronix and restore the licenses.
Then sync Libronix with your account on the Logos servers.
That would then either cause a download to Logos5 (if you're lucky).

Any suggestions?You need to install Logos 2 and export license file. You can send license file to Logos and they will be able to unlock books. This disc is a little different than my Logos 2.0 disc, so I am not sure if it contains the Logos 2 install and your license file. My disc came with a floppy disc that installed Logos 2 and the license file. Also, this product does not have an unlock code as it predates such codes. The only way to get the books unlocked is to install them into Logos 2. From there, they can be imported into Logos 3. If there is not an install file on your disc, you may be lacking an essential floppy disc. My disc would be useless without the floppy disc.

Jason, yes they do look familiar, get a magnifying glass and look real close on both sides around the center ring......if there appears to be a code or a sequence of numbers - call Logos HQ.
Get a techie, you may be able to bypass the floppy, they are old school but you may get lucky....
By the way, thanks for the screenshot.

Brief history
Logos Research Systems, Inc. (also known as Logos Bible Software) was founded in 1992 by two Microsoft employees, Bob Pritchett and Kiernon Reiniger, along with Bob’s father, Dale Pritchett. The three quit their jobs to develop Christian software.[3]
Bob Pritchett and Reiniger produced one of the earliest Bible software packages for Windows: Logos Bible Software for Microsoft Windows v1.0. After acquiring data from the CDWordLibrary project at Dallas Theological Seminary (an earlier Bible software package for use on Windows 2), Logos released the Logos Library System platform in 1995.In 2001 the LLS was replaced by the Libronix Digital Library Systems (or Libronix DLS), which was partially ported to the Apple Mac OS. On November 2, 2009, Logos announced Logos Bible Software 4, for MS Windows and the Apple Mac OX, complemented by a free iPhone application featuring free publications and synchronization with the desktop applications, and was awarded the DBW Publishing Innovation Award in 2011.
On November 6, 2012, Logos announced Logos Bible Software 5 for Windows and Mac was available for purchase.
I think this was that ####

Quick update: The install files are not on the disk and the Logos tech told me that someone that may have LLS (2.0) could upload the .exe file for me.
Anyone willing to do this?
I use dropbox, google drive and box

Did Logos delete all their own files or something? Surely they have a copy of this file.

Peace, Josh! I think perhaps Logos does not want to take responsibility for the "overhead costs" for obsolete technology and add to their "overhead". They do not "support" this product any longer! Actually, I think it's great of them to try to be helpful! *smile*Josh said:Jacob Schwegel said:Quick update: The install files are not on the disk and the Logos tech told me that someone that may have LLS (2.0) could upload the .exe file for me.

For the version you have, the back of the CD cover gives the installation instructions as:
- Insert CD into your CD ROM drive
- Insert Setup Disk 1 of 2 in the diskette drive
- From Program Manager, select FILE then RUN
- At the Run Command Line, type a:\setup ('a' is the drive letter)
- Click OK and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
The install files for this version (and if I recall correctly also the license file) are on the two "floppy" discs that came with the CD. The CD contains the resource files, but probably a lot more resource files than can be unlocked per the license on the floppy discs.
So a couple of quick questions:
- Do you have the two floppy discs containing the install and license files ?
- What Level does the CD cover say this package is (the CD itself is somewhat "generic" and probably contains the resources for all of the various levels released at the time, the floppies have the license files which unlock the resources appropriate to the level purchased) (the various levels corresponded to early versions of what are now called "Base Packages", but each level contained far fewer resources than current base packages)
Would need to find someone with an operating floppy drive with still readable floppy discs and a computer with a 32 bit operating system. Can probably re-assemble such a configuration from the basement here to see if my floppies are still readable, but would need to set aside some time to do that so first should check exactly what you need and see if anyone can help more easily.

Found a short-cut per a USB floppy drive that I thought was lost: have a pair of readable Logos 2 Level 1 floppies that can install the relevent resources from the CD. Level 1 resources are listed at http://wiki.logos.com/Logos_2.0_Level_1 As you can see there were not many resources in a Level 1 base package back then (c 1995) so if you have a more recent Logos package you may already have everything in your current license. There were some Logos 2.0 resources that are no longer available, but there had to be unlocked or purchased seperately.
Just as a note: Libronix (Logos 3) will pick up and incorporate Logos 2 licenses if Logos 2 and 3 are both installed on the same computer (WIn XP or Vista 32 bit or earlier version of WIndows). Logos 3 licenses can be synchronized with the Logos servers and picked up in Logos 4 or 5 via "Update Now" (at least that is how it originally worked when additional resource CDs for Logos 2 were relatively common a few years ago. There are still some around but finding ones where the license has not already been used by someone else is no longer easy. Many later Logos 2 resources came on CD with an unlock code, but it used a different format and unlock system than was later adopted for Logos 3 and they cannot be unlocked directly into Logos 3)
