I find Logos’ own Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the GNT good because it provides a header for every lexical entry with every reference from the the NT for each shade of meaning, crosslinked to Louw-Nida numbers for a more expansive definition.

Cannot connect to Logos serversHere are some solutions:
1) First, the most common solutions offered by Logos Support
http://www.logos.com/L4/support/unabletoconnect
2) Expired security certificates
If you’ve checked all of the Logos suggestions, and that didn’t help, another more obscure possible cause is that you’ve got expired security certificates that are causing your machine to view the Logos server as non-trustworthy.
