Yes my family should be able to have a family account. I have been a loyal customer since Libronix time.

This needs to happen. Seriously. If I had physical books and tools, I'd be able to share them with my wife, regardless if she she has a full-time job or not. She's my wife. I'm sure we all get that.

My wife use to be able to access my books, now she can't as I have moved to the LOGOS electronic format

Yes, Logos please provide family sharing.

I agree. For my teenager particularly.

I agree. It would be a great way to study together. My husband and children use the free bible apps now. It only makes sense that they be able to use one that we have already bought.

I second this motion.

Agreed. Family sharing would be a marvelous feature for the licensing.

Any word from Logos or movement on this important topic? I want to be able to share my books (~ $10K invested) like I would a paper resource. It would also be great to be able to loan them for 30 days or so to a family member, pastor, or friend.

I too wish they would implement family sharing to Logos 8

Yes, this would be a game changer for me in terms of investment. If I were able to share my library with my wife and kids--in a way that they had their own profile and workspace--I would be MUCH more willing to invest in more resources!

This is a feature that I have requested for many years. We have a significant amount invested and my wife needs to be able to have her own workspace. I too develop software, so I get the "sharing" aspect, but please allow 4 or 5 subaccounts. This is the reason I have slowed down on my Logos e-book purchases and gone back to paper.

I believe that at the very minimum the terms and agreements should be changed, based on property ownership.

I have been satisfied with Logos since I first purchased it when you came out with it...but not since last night! I installed it on my wife's computer and when I opened the software, my desktop came up. That sir is unacceptable. If she adds or deletes anything, I've lost my work. She needs her own login information.
Until that is changed, I will be recommending eSword!

Yes, would be really great to be able to share the library with family!

Great idea! I strongly recommend that FL will launch such a license.

As Christians we value studying the Bible together as families so we can build strong marriages, and help our children develop a love for God's Word as they learn and grow in it with us. Logos is an amazing resource for studying the Bible, and it would be even more amazing if it could build in some family dynamics.

I know that I can load Logos on my wife's computer, and on my boys' computer when we get them one, but I understand that they would all have to log in under my Logos ID. In talking to support, I could use visual filters, and maybe collections in some ways to keep my wife's work separate from mine. And it seems like maybe I could create a highlighting palette for my wife, where if she uses only that palette I could then have her highlights not show on my computer. While this might help, it doesn't seem to be a great solution for people who spend a lot of time in Logos and have organized it just the way they want it. In my case, I would have to educate all of my family members very well on the software, and then they would have to follow all my suggestions for me to avoid changes by others that I would not want, and that's really not realistic.

So I was hoping Logos could allow people to prove their family relationships, and then the people in your family may download Logos on their own devices with their own Logos IDs. Then, if the husband for example has invested in a large library, he can own the master account where he can designate certain resources to be downloaded onto family member accounts, and each family member would have a completely clean copy of that resource so no settings, highlights or anything else can create disorder, and everybody can set things up and use Logos as works best for them.

If you wanted to make Logos even MORE awesome than that, maybe you could then take the value that we have for the husband-wife relationship and build it up in the software, such as by making a tool for husband and wife Bible study! (And kids separately too.) Logos could be responsible for improving marriages and spiritual growth in families. Maybe you could have certain resources, notes, reading plans, comments or dialogue streams within the family, and prayer lists that could be designated for working on together in a new "Family" tool with lots of functionality toward how people can best study the Bible together, perhaps at different times. The so populated Family tool would then appear on all of your family members' respective devices within Logos (under everybody's own ID), and you could work together as a family! Yet changes regarding the resources such as highlighting and other changes made from within the Family tool would, or would not, depending upon each user's choices, carry over when the user is outside the Family tool (e.g. the user still has a clean copy of the resources without any family edits, when outside the Family tool).

I would think this would also be a smart business move for Logos, because the more you engage the whole family, the more resources that will end up being purchased. For example, when my son starts studying Romans and wants to read this new book by this one pastor he heard about at youth group on the subject, he's going to want to buy it, and then maybe we add that to our family study. If you make it dynamic and awesome for somebody to use Logos for spiritual growth of their family, you will be facilitating and incentivizing the creation of a lot more Logos users.

So pretty please, could Logos help make families stronger by thinking this out and helping us use our already owned resources to grow our families too? I know there are many that would be most grateful for your thought and effort in this area.

I'd love for my wife and children to be able to have their own accounts using my library, too. But there would need to be limits. If we are saying they should have access because the library should be treated like a physical library of books which the family could have on the shelf at home, then my children should only have access as long as they are in the home. If my child goes off to Bible College, I'm not letting him take my entire library off the shelf with him. I still need it. There would need to be an age cutoff, or a location cutoff for additional users.

I love this idea. My wife just asked me if she could get my account info so she could do research for Sunday School.

Long wished for this. I’ve invested 5 figures into Logos. My wife should have access to my books but in her own “space”.
