LimeWire is great. I'm open to the idea of paying for the Pro version and helping to support Lime's efforts, even though I'm only an occasional user.

But, the one thing that bothers me is the "Six months of free upgrades." I wondered what that meant. Would I need to pay some upgrade fee after my six months were up? How much would that be? I couldn't find details on the website, so I searched the boards and found this thread,

that says, lemme get this straight, I would need to pay the full price all over again if I ever wanted to upgrade my Pro version after the six months was up.

Of course, as the message says, I can always continue to use the version I had when my time ran out. But, of course, in the rapidly-developing world of peer networking, my Pro copy would show its age very quickly. So I get to pay full price all over again after my MEASLY six months has run out! And then do it again six months later, and again and again and again!

I guess I'm used to the typical practices of shareware licensing, where most authors offer lifetime upgrades (or extremely inexpensive upgrades) as an incentive to register.

I believe that LimePRO would find a wider audience if its licensing terms were not so stingy.
