Q: Why do I have to "activate" my Libronix software?

A:  Most of the books we sell are the property of other publishers, and we are required to pay royalties for each copy we sell. The activation process that Libronix uses simply provides a way to limit unauthorized access to the books by taking the serial number and assigning it to a registered customer ID. Once a serial number is assigned to a customer ID, only that customer ID can be used to reactivate that serial number. Each purchase you make will be assigned to your customer ID. (You can register anonymously if you wish, and we will then issue you a customer ID that is not your e-mail address.)

By preserving a copy of your licenses in our database, the activation process ensures that you will retain access to all the books you have purchased should you suffer a computer crash or buy a new machine.

Q: How do I purchase New Books?

A: The Libronix Digital Library System allows you to build a library tailored to your specific study needs! In addition to the books you have already purchased, there are thousands more books from over one hundred publishers that can be integrated into Libronix. You may purchase these books a number of different ways.

1. Logos.com features more books you can download individually or buy as collections. This is your best source for the newest titles in the ever-expanding Libronix DLS.
   
   All online purchases will require a User Account. This is separate from your Libronix product account. If you don't have a current Logos.com account, select New User? Register! on the left side of the Logos.com home page. Be sure to fill in all required fields. Returning users should log in before shopping. (See previous question about the web login and password above.)
   
   Important Note to All Users: Please make sure you provide your Libronix Customer ID when registering a new account. It is used to match your unlocked books to your copy of the Libronix DLS. If you do not know your Libronix Customer ID, you can find it in Libronix under Help | About Libronix DLS or Tools | Library Management | Account Summary. Customer Support can also provide this information by calling (800) 875-6467 or by emailing support@logos.com.
   
   Once you are logged in, search the New Products, Boxed Products, Downloadables, Community Pricing, and Pre-Publications (Pre-Pubs) for titles of interest to you. Click Add to Cart for existing products, or Preorder for Pre-Pub products. You can even set your price for products in Community Pricing! After you have selected your desired titles, follow the prompts under View/Checkout.
   
2. Use our simple unlocking process within the Libronix DLS to unlock books on discs you already have. Simply start Libronix and click on Tools | Unlock Resources.
   
   • Choose Resource or Collection from the Unlock drop-down list.
   • Choose All Locked Resources from the Collection drop-down list.
   • Select your Arrange by choice. Arranging by Title may make it easier to find a resource.
   • Scroll through the list of resources or use the Find box to search for your book.
   • Click Add to Shopping Cart for each title, and then click Next to complete the purchase.
   • The transaction can be completed by Internet or by phone. Follow the on-screen instructions for the desired method.

Q: Are Print Editions available?

A:   Logos Bible Software publishes electronic books for our Libronix Digital Library System; we do not publish print editions. However, some of our Publishing Partners do include print editions of their electronic books in some of their products. One example is the Augsburg Fortress Collection (18 titles). Augsburg Fortress has included, with the Libronix CD-ROM, paperback versions of nearly all of the 18 titles included in their collection.

You can search our website for products that include print editions by entering the word 'paperback' or 'hardcover' in the main SEARCH box in the top left corner.

Q: How do I copy Libronix books to my hard drive?

A: Generally, books are copied during the Account Management process once the product has been activated. If you did not have this option, or you want to select the books to be copied, you would use the Location Manager to copy resources.

1. Start Libronix.
2. Place the DVD, Disc A, or product CD in the CD/DVD-ROM drive.
3. Watch for the words "Discovering Resources" to appear in the lower-right corner of Libronix. (This process may take up to 20 minutes with the DVD.)
4. When "Discovering Resources" disappears, click the Location Manager link in the Tip window or click on Tools | Library Management | Location Manager. 
5. List Resources should be Unlocked on Removable Media.
6. Destination should be C:\Program Files\Libronix DLS\Resources, unless the program was installed to another location, or you want to copy the book files to another drive. 
7. All the resources on that disc will be selected by default. You an either deselect the resources you do not want to copy, or click on the Clear All button, then select the resources you want to copy.
8. Click Copy Resources. When complete, the list of resources to copy will be replaced by the message: "All unlocked resources have been copied to your hard drive." If you had deselected any resources, those resources will still be listed.
9. Repeat steps 2-8 for each disc.

A: If you received one DVD with your Logos Bible Software Base Collection, you will use that disc to install Libronix and copy the resources to your computer's hard drive.
