Firstly, LimeWire does not allow me to upgrade to version 2.9.8 Pro; I must downgrade to version 2.9.8, in violation of the sales aggreement, that allows me upgrades for 6 months. |
Then go to your PRO download page, - that's the address where you downloaded LW Pro for the first time. (I hope you didn't throw it away).

Version 2.9.8 does not work, while I must continue to use version 2.8.5 Pro.
There is no way to remove the update demands that display every time my only working version of LimeWire loads. |
Yes, you can remove the update window, - by upgrading.

| On the one hand, the company appears to supprt serverless peer-to-peer networking, but in reality they want to keep an off switch, so that they can shut their paying customers down. My dialog box displays that only users of versions prior to 2.6 must upgrade, but the pestering nevertheless has continued all month. |
pre 2.6 version were relying on a central server to connect if they did not have any further cached ultrapeer addresses. LimeWire shut the server down, so they don't connect reliably anymore.

Good choice.

| Technical support from this company is totally useless; they simply tell people to install the International version, and ignore all details. The International version also crashes directly after launching. |
If the support has never heard of the problem, they can't tell you how to fix it. I don't think they have much time to investigate it, unless many more users complain about the same problem.
