Paratext not scrolling along with logos

Question

Hi Team,

One of the user here is using Logos 7+ with paratext 8.

The Access Logos Resources from Tools menu is disabled. The groups match between paratext and logos.

Paratext is clearly not recognizing logos and hence the scrolling doesn’t work even though it is enabled from tools–> Scroll scripture with any compatible versions.

Any suggestions on this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
anobon

Answer 1

I have tested this with both Paratext 7 and 8 on my Windows 10 machine and it is working with the Logos 7. The most current version of Logos 7 is version 7.19.0.0009. What version of Logos do they have? Has Windows 10, and dotnet framework been kept up-to-date?

7.19.0.0009 - yes
Windows and .NET are latest and up-to date too.

No breakthrough yet.

Try the following:
With Logos running, go to the Tools menu in Paratext, and choose Access Logos Resources . Go to the All Resources tab, and click on one of the categories. If you see a list of resources appear, Paratext is communicationg OK with Logos. (This command is for adding Logos resources to the menu that shows in Paratext when you right click a Greek or Hebrew lemma. If Paratext cannot communicate with Logos in this dialog, it probably will not scroll with Logos either).

If you receive an error message in Paratext saying that Logos isn’t properly registered (or Access Logos Resources in ParaTExt is greyed out, try this fix:

1. Close Paratext and Logos if they are running.
2. Find your Logos program directory. (It is likely c:\users\ yourusername \appdata\local\Logos ).
3. In Windows, run a command prompt “as administrator”. (Click ‘Start’, type ‘cmd’, right click on “Command prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
4. In the command prompt, change the directory to your Logos program directory. You can type cd \users\ username \appdata\local\Logos or you can go step by step, cd \users then cd username , then cd appdata, then cd local then cd Logos
5. Now type logos.exe/register. (No spaces in the command). Windows should say that Logos Bible software is now registered.
6. Now test Paratext and Logos and see if they scroll together.

Thank you very much!

I tried this today with Logos 8, and received the message “Logos Bible Software failed to register”. Paratext 8 and Logos are not communicating, confirmed by trying ‘Access Logos Resources’ as you mention above. Any further suggestions? With Logos and Paratext not scrolling together, translation work has become a lot less efficient.

I’d check out the section on " Troubleshooting the connection with Logos" on this page.
