I am having the message pop up about licensing also. I just signed up for limewire and do not know much about this. Does anyone know how to get this message to stop popping up?

It is a part of the new LW for legal reasons. If you decide that it doesn't matter downlding copyright material, then tick Yes, & you can optionally then tick Always use this answer (& you won't be asked again.) If you don't want to take the risk then press no. But if you press no & choose always use that answer, you'll not be asked & not be able to downld files that would have requested information about licensing; thus you'll need to do one of 2 options:

(1) Revert Popups to Default : Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>View>Popups & click revert to default.

(2) Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Searching>Basic & decide whether to tick or untick "Show License Warning" (this is a setting you should do when 1st setting up.)

Mac OSX users will find the options in a different location. Use Command (apple key) & comma, (⌘-,) to bring up the LW preferences. Then same as above. ___ (click image to see larger view)

I am at work & i just started to use limewire, or tried anyway. I have windows xp on what i think is a t1 connection. I have tried to revert to defaults on the popups but when i try to download, nothing happens. there is no popup that comes up. the only thing i get is searching & need more sources in the progress window. that is ALL i have gotten. please help me.

Yes I am having the same problem with the lisence with the new LM but I thought everything to do with LM was legal that's why I subcribed to it.

Subscribed? I think you should see this: Membership? - **WARNING ** BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites

No where on the official LW site does it say downlding copyright material is legal. The official site is here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
If you paid a lot of money for it then i'd cancel the transaction asap. LW Pro costs US $18.88 & the Basic version is Free. Some scam sites will have you pay more & then direct you to the downld page of the Basic version. Since when would the record companies be happy about people sharing copyright songs for free when they don't get a penny/cent. Any web site that claims Free downlds of music & movies is a scam site!

so whut if im like scared to be caught by the FBI or CIA or sumthin, or is there a way u can comfort me whike me still being able to download form limewire

We are going to need a little more information from you make sure you do the speed test it is the link at the bottom.

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (Eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (Eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

* Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False

13. Do a speed test post the results here.

Hi Lord of the Rings,

I did what you suggested and checked out the License and just clicked on the 'Set to Default' button in there, and it started working just fine, so it was the license issue.

Thank you for your time you were very helpful. Cudos and four stars to ya.

Thanks,

Slimey

Hello,
a while back, i downloaded the limewire basic and used it for a little bit. just recently, it told me that there was a problem with the startup and that it couldn't open, even though i used it for a little while. i downloaded the limewire 4.10 basic and i tryed to download something but a thing comes up saying i dont have the license to download it, and i can click yes, no, or cancel, so i click cancel.
here is my question: how can i get the license to download things without this popup? it is really anoying since i lost all of my other stuff and cant get anything else to replace it.

much thanks

Hi just joined the site and had some problems with downloading. I tried what you suggested above and it worked. Just wanted to say thanks.
