Hi Mike

Thank you so much for helping us still using BW.
I received the download link after sending a new request but without the hyphens. And now it all works as it should.

Blessings,
Peter

Hi,

I am from Denmark and have been using it since BW6.

How long time should I expect for the reply to arrive to me? I sent my request on March 11 but haven't recieved a reply yet.

As described in this forum, I sent an email requesting the updated BibleWorks executable (I have BibleWorks 10). I then received an email with a link to a DropBox folder. However, when I clicked on the link, no files were present. For several days, I tried clicking on the link, but I received an error message each time to the effect that the files had not been uploaded or had not finished uploading (unfortunately, I did not save a screenshot of the message). Now, however, the error message says, "This link isn't quite right. Usually this happens when the link wasn't copied exactly right." I have verified the link several times. As far as I can tell, I have followed the instructions correctly, so I am not sure what to do next. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks for enabling us to continue using BibleWorks! Stephen

Hi Mike. I own Bibleworks 8. You responded to my reactivation@bibleworks.com email by sending me BW1000 files (5/25/2026 at 10:18 AEST). Should it be BW800 files? Is this the reason why I can not get past the old activation process when I try to install the files you sent me?
Thanks for your assistance.

I am new to the forum, I have been using Bibleworks probably for 20+ years, it has worked very well until I had to download Windows 11. Initially when I switched I was able to get it working through the zip files back in September. One week ago I guess Dell or Windows 11 updated and all of a sudden I have no Bibleworks. Talk about rocking my world. I have tried 4 times with my USB to redownload Bibleworks the first 3 got to the point of needing to activate. I would then have AI help me with Mike's solution email since I am not very computer savvy . I unzipped the files and dropped into Bibleworks. and then all that would happen is the flash screen would come up and disappear. I was trying for a 4th time when I discovered my USB drive is now corrupted. I am not sure how to navigate through this site. But I sure could use some help. I thought that maybe it is time to switch to Accordance so I downloaded a free trial and spent all day yesterday trying to get it to work like Bible works. But I would rather keep using Bibleworks if I could. I SURE COULD USE SOME HELP !!!!. I heard that there is a download online of Bibleworks 10 I could access is that true? thanks, Tom Henderson

Dear Admin,

I sent re-activation e-mail with subject "BW10-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-58DQ David Chan" (only last 4 serial no. shown here) to reactivation@bibleworks.com at 5:55pm (Hong Kong time) on 26.5.2026 but didn't receive the link to download the new executable to date. Could you send the link to me to re-activate my BibleWorks?

Dear Admin,

Further to my message on 31/5 above, I am still awaiting the executable link to re-activate my BibleWorks. Should I re-send the re-activation e-mail to you? Please kindly follow up and advise.

Dear Admin,

There are following 3 types of Subject formats mentioned in the instruction message and I used the second type (with a hyphen before serial no.). I have just re-sent reactivation request using the third type (no hyphen) and hope it will work.
