No, I have never been able to share with the current version of the software.

I updated LimeWire first, I think. Though, it really a re-download for both iTunes and LimeWire because I needed to download the programs for my laptop.

I have never used a older version of LW with iTunes 9.

I don't think my benefits are still current, though I am planning to get a VISA debit card for myself soon, so I'll repurchase it soon enough.

I am considering downloading the free version of LW to see if that works (I don't mind losing my PRO version, I'll repurchase it later).
