I published a blog post yesterday alerting everyone that Logos 4.5 was shipping soon. But I wasn’t clear enough, and many people were unsure if it was available. I apologize.

This morning someone threw a cinder block through a window of our customer service center. I can only imagine that he had tried in vain multiple times to update to 4.5 last night. To add insult to injury, it looks like the brick bounced off the windows on his first attempt.

Here’s the good news: barring any last minute show-stoppers, 4.5 will ship later today! You should be notified in Logos 4 when the update is ready to be installed. If you do not receive a notification by Wednesday, January 25, type “Update Now” into the Command Bar (PC screenshot | Mac screenshot). This will force Logos 4 to check for any available updates (PC screenshot | Mac screenshot) and begin downloading them.

I will do my part to be clearer in the future, and you should receive the update within the next day or so. No need to break in to get a copy!
