Yes, that was the link I used.

And unfortunately, I searched ALL of my email addresses and somehow could not find ANY emails from Limewire...I know there would be something, be it a confirmation or something. I'm not sure if I overlooked it, or if I accidentally deleted it, but nothing's there.

Now that you mentioned it...I'm pretty sure I paid PRO, not Extended PRO. I guess I'm confused...I thought once you paid for PRO, it was a one-time deal, with no expirations. I suppose that's why my PRO benefits have disappeared. I'm pretty sure I bought it from the official website (bc they advertise on their actual Limewire asking, "Upgrade now to Pro!" and I clicked that link).

So now it seems pretty obvious to me...everything expired. But I should still get a basic connection. I uninstalled and reinstalled out of frustration, and set up the basic Limewire...but I still have a stupid firewall!!

One random question: When I just installed the Limewire stuff, I have 2 icons on my desktop: Limewire.exe, and Limewire 4.18.3. I want to click the second one to run the program, right? The other one is for setup? (Which I've already done. It just confused me bc it's never had 2 icons on my desktop before haha.)

I'm at a loss. Thanks so much for your responses though! Hopefully a resolution is on its way!
