This article applies only to the Windows version, and for Premium Users and partly for those who still have an old DVD of the Online Bible ( 2nd part of this article). It is specifically about the European Online Bible. A regular DVD is still available in the USA Canada.


A. Premium Users


Until 2018, subscribers to the Online Bible received a DVD each year with both program and content updates. As of 2018, the Online Bible is available as a download. 

As long as you put the update over an existing installation there is nothing wrong, but if you have to reinstall everything or buy a new computer then you appear to be missing all sorts of things you used to have. 


Since 2020/2021 you get more content ( modules, such as Bibles, Commentary books etc.) through the Windows Content Installer. This only applies to ( all) Premium Users. They can download this program in their account.


You can find out how in the second part of the following article:


Installation instruction under Windows


Premium users can now have all the modules they are entitled to.


B. Premium Users and those who still have an old Online Bible DVD.


Many do not have a problem with this, as the Content Installer contains ample modules, but it is also quite conceivable that you are still missing titles/modules. 


There are currently two solutions to this.


You can first install the latest DVD in your possession (which for subscribers is the 2018 DVD ) first, and then download the latest update and install over it. This will give you everything that was on the DVD plus the latest update, as previously installed books are not deleted.  

Note: Don't do this in reverse order, because that will actually leave you with the outdated version on your computer. 

You can simply install the download, and then add missing titles as described in the following article: Installing titles from a DVD.


With either solution, you may still need to enter license codes. These must correspond to the DVD you used (i.e. a DVD from 2018 must have the license codes that were issued in 2018). Have you lost the license codes: they cannot be reissued now.
