Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed.

If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Quite annoyed about this! (want to download Pro again) I HAD LimewirePro even though it was getting to be like 2 years old. I paid for that and have all the emails confirming it. Today I checked out the latest Basic program but did NOT expect it to install and replace my original Pro limewire but it did that. I have done every possible search to contact Limewire to ask for my old program back but there is not one address given to contact them. They have total non contact which I think is rude and arrogant. There is a "Support" section where you have to enter your email address you had when you bought Pro and when I enter that it refuses to recognise that as my contact. I can prove it but can't contact anyone to do that. It just shuts you off from contact and support. A disgrace. Can someone give me an email address that will allow me to contact Limewire directly? Thank you. My email should work here to reply to me if you want to.  |

| Sorry, but in this case you're out of luck. 2 years ago, buying Pro entitled you to free updates & email support for 6 months. So you would've been able to download Pro for free, for 6 months after your purchase. There's a 12 month option now, but that definitely wasn't available 2 years ago. Whatever versions of LW you download while your Pro privileges are current are yours to use for as long as you like. But it's up to the user to save & back up Pro installers  Once your Pro privileges have expired, your email address won't be in LW's database anymore - that's why your email address isn't being recognised. Did you buy Pro from the official site Lime Wire » Download LimeWire ? Some sites offer 'unlimited' or 'lifetime' deals, but they're just scams. |

| I think the only thing that can be said here, is Always Backup the Pro Installer. This is just my opinion, but even if you did get in touch with LW, your complaint would Fall on Deaf Ears. The ONLY way for this to have happened was that You D/Led an Updated Version of Basic and it Deleted your present version of Pro. Thats the way it is Designed. Its Really No ones Fault but Yours. So you've had a Pro Version for several years and you prolly paid about $18. and some change, Right ?? Now Figure out How many Files that You have Illegally Downloaded Due to Copyright Infringement, for the said Price of $18 Dollars and some change. Now do you Really have Room to complain ?? I think Not. If so then Buy another Pro Version and Be Happy.

| Thank you, everyone who is clarifying this. "birdy" I did buy the original direct from Limewire itself, not a scam place and I knew at the time it was only a 6 month upgrade. It arrived to me through email, and I always keep installers. I would have to check. You say I would have received one? I will look at the folder where I keep installers. Thank you all. |

| After you bought Pro, you would have got an email from LW with a link to your Pro personal download page... once you clicked on the link, you would've been been sent to a page where you could download a Pro installer. The installer itself wasn't sent via email - just the link to your download page. That's because there might be several new versions released during the 6 months, so LW just send you the link to a download page & then you can download whatever updates you choose while your privileges are current. But hopefully you still have the installer somewhere & can get your Pro going again |

| Oh BOY!!!! I have had a limewire problem for a few weeks, it was starting connection but it NEVER connects. So I have been on all the forums and doing everything that everyone has said to try which I may add has been very helpful. But I followed the advice of uninstalling java and Limewire and reinstalling it, it tells me my account privileges have expired, would you like to purchase at a discount. Lets just say I am the opposite of happy right now |

| We always recommend to start with LW Basic first, then if all is fine, then you can consider other options. With the amount of details you have offered, we can't help much. Yours is a connection problem; it might be better creating a new thread in the Connection Problems section & including these details System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) We wish we had ESP but unfortunately, our minds are limited. (concentrates very hard to see their set up clearly) .. I'm sure you're using DOS right .. that might be the reason, LW does not support DOS.  |
