2. How do I activate/register my product if:
   
   
   • My software says I have 45 days to activate?
     
     Click on the 'Account Management' link in the Tip window, or click on Tools | Account Management, to activate over the Internet or enter an Activation Code you've received from Customer Support by phone or email.

In either case, please call Customer Support at (800) 875-6467 or send an email to support@logos.com, and provide them with your full name, email address, Customer ID, and the product serial number.

5. What are my Customer ID and Confirmation Code, and where do I find them?
   
   
   • Your Libronix Customer ID is either the email address you entered when you first activated your account or an auto-generated LBXUSER number assigned to your account (if an email address was not provided). Your Confirmation Code is an auto-generated, 20-character, alpha-numeric code attached to your Customer ID only.
     
     
   • You can find these codes in the Account Summary report (Tools | Library Management | Account Summary) or under Help | About Libronix DLS.

   • My books are locked? 
     
     Licenses for your books need to be installed before Libronix can copy your unlocked resources to the hard drive. Please try the steps in Solution 1 in the same article: Libronix Resources are Missing or Not Discovered.
     
     
   • I am missing books after updating?

7. How do I Download Books from the Logos website?
   
   
   • In order to access the book you purchased, you will want to download the book file from the Internet to the correct place on your hard drive.
     1. Close Libronix.
     2. Go to the product page for the downloadable book or collection you purchased. To locate the page, type the book title in the SEARCH field and click Go. Click on the title in the Search Results to open the page. Below the book description you will see the heading "Download Book File." If there is only one book to download, the file will be listed below. If there are two or more books, click on "Download Book Files" to display the individual files.
     3. Click on a filename (book.lbxlls) to bring up the File Download window.
     4. Click the 'Save' button.
     5. In the Save As window double-click on My Computer (Computer) > Local Disc (C:) >  Program Files > Libronix DLS > Resources. (The 'Save in' box should contain the Resources folder.)

8. Why did I get an Unlocking Error with my online purchase?
   • You most likely received the "unlocking error" because there is a missing or incorrect Libronix Customer ID in your Logos.com web account. Please call Customer Support at (800) 875-6467 or send an email to support@logos.com so we can unlock it for you. The Customer Support representative will enter your correct Libronix Customer ID in your web account so you do not have problems unlocking books in the future.
     
     Once the book has been unlocked, click on Tools | Library Management | Synchronize Licenses to install the license in Libronix. Then download the book file using the steps in question/answer #7 above.

      To keep up with changes (fixes and enhancements) to the Libronix DLS software engine, and to get the latest versions of addin modules, fonts, resources, etc.
      
      
    • How do I update?

    • What is the difference between an Update and an Upgrade?
      
      
      • An 'Update' includes changes (fixes and enhancements) to the Libronix DLS software engine and/or new versions of your currently-owned addin modules and resources, etc. An 'Update' can be downloaded at no charge using either of the two methods above.
        
      • An 'Upgrade' includes new books, addins, and features that you do not currently own. You can 'upgrade' to a larger collection or to a newer version of your current collection. For instance, if you own a 'Scholar's Library (ND)', you could upgrade to a 'Scholar's Library: Gold (ND)'. Or, if you own a pre-3.0 'Scholar's Library (RA or QB)', you could upgrade to a 3.0 'Scholar's Library (ND)'. An upgrade must be purchased, and a discount may be available. To see what 'upgrades/discounts' you qualify for, enter your Customer ID in the Upgrade Now! box.
