This Help Page will contain instructions and information about downloading your past purchase content from Biblesoft along with common instruction that can help with getting your program to run.

Technical Specifications

Please know we only have programs that will run on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. If you are using a Mac program, then you can install one of these systems onto your Mac using Boot Camp; for more information, go to https://support.apple.com/boot-camp.

About Downloads from Your Biblesoft Account:

  • Downloads are made available through Customer Service and Technical Support. You will need to contact them using our contact form at http://biblesoft.com/contact.php.
  • Downloads are only available for One Touch main programs and Titles. We DO NOT have downloads for PC Study Bible Version 5.2 and earlier programs. If you have an earlier version of PC Study Bible that is registered, then you can upgrade to the One Touch release. To register your program, please contact Customer Service or Technical Support using our contact form at http://biblesoft.com/contact.php.
  • We only have Titles that will work with PC Study Bible Version 5 and One Touch. If you are using PC Study Bible Version 4 or an earlier program, then you will need to upgrade to One Touch in order to purchase newer titles.
  • If your account reflects the purchase of a specific program or title, then in most cases, that download can be made available at no cost. Not all Titles have downloads and in that case, you would need to purchase a replacement installation discs for $8 plus shipping, handling and tax where applicable.
  • All Downloads are made available as Orders. If Customer Service or Technical Support reissued you a download of a program or title as a free order, you may see notices about Payment Accepted. Please know that we don't hold on to any credit card information in our store which means we are not able to charge a card without your consent. If you were to look closer at the order information, you would see that any Free orders show $0.00 on that order indicating it was at no cost.

Windows 10 App Security Settings

Windows 10 can change your system setting to stop a file from running unless that file was downloaded directly from the Microsoft App store.
For help on changing the Windows 10 settings that stop our program from installing, please take a look at the the instructions, that include images, found in the link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oGtv1e2Pn0NhigzJKKsKu1511Uaka98j/view?usp=sharing.
If you are getting the message that says, The app you're trying to install isn't a Microsoft-verified app, then you can click on the words Change my app recommendation settings and your Settings windows will open to the Apps and features area.
Look for the area that says, Choose where to get apps and click on the words The Microsoft Store (recommended). A list will appear with 4 options outlined under the image below:
Anywhere
This option will let you download and run any files from any website.
Anywhere, but let me know if there's a comparable app in the Microsoft Store -
This will allow you to run the app, but will let you know if there is a similar program in the Microsoft Store.
Anywhere, but warn me before installing an app that's not from the Microsoft Store -
This will bring up a message that will give you the option to run the file, but will bring up a message allowing you to stop installing the file or to install it anyway.
The Microsoft Store (recommended) -
This option will block any program that was NOT downloaded directly from the Microsoft Store.
We recommend any setting that starts with Anywhere, but we recognize it is not recommended by Microsoft.
