BibleWorks served the church for 26 years by providing a suite of professional tools aimed at enabling students of the Word to “rightly divide the word of truth”. But it became increasingly apparent over time that the need for our services had diminished to the point where we believed the Lord would have us use our gifts in other ways. As of June 15, 2018 BibleWorks ceased operation as a provider of Bible software tools. We made this announcement with sadness, but also with gratitude to God and thankfulness for a multitude of faithful users who have stayed with us for a large part of their adult lives.
"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever (Isa. 40:8)."
The following text will give instructions on how to activate a new BibleWorks 8, 9 or 10 installation. It is important that you carefully follow the guidelines in section 3 below. I am trying to automate the process as much as possible and requests are fulfilled and tracked using the subject line of the e-mail described in section 3. Requests that do not follow the guidelines precisely cannot be processed. Read them twice. If you do not receive a response you should check the format of the subject line in your e-mail.
The BibleWorks store, online activation server, and user forum are no longer available. The same is true for phone and e-mail support for program use and installtion issues. The BibleWorks program can no longer be sold or updated. You may be able to find used copies for sale, but beware: most of these are illegal hacked versions.
Versions earlier than BibleWorks 8 can still be installed using the original distribution media.
BibleWorks 8, 9 and 10 can still be installed, but to activate the program you will be required to replace the BibleWorks executable after the installation. The process for doing this is as follows:
BW80-####-####-####-#### Your Name
BW90-####-####-####-#### Your Name
BW10-####-####-####-#### Your Name.
The main text of the e-mail should contain any proof of purchase information that you have. Please understand that I have no support staff and am receiving a lot of activation requests. I may not be able to respond to any special requests on other issues. Please do not use this e-mail address to ask for support with program features. Keep in mind that the Youtube library of instructional videos is still available. See BibleWorks Instructional Videos.
I appreciate the fact that there are still a lot of people using legally purchased copies of BibleWorks. If you own BibleWorks 8, 9 or 10, the procedure outlined above should make it possible for you to use the program for many more years. If you keep the installation media and the downloaded files, no further input from me should be needed in the future. I will provide this service as long as the Lord enables, which means until He takes me home (I am now an old man) or the Lord returns. Come quickly Lord Jesus.
