I am having the message pop up about licensing also. I just signed up for limewire and do not know much about this. Does anyone know how to get this message to stop popping up?

It is a part of the new LW for legal reasons. If you decide that it doesn't matter downlding copyright material, then tick Yes, & you can optionally then tick Always use this answer (& you won't be asked again.) If you don't want to take the risk then press no. But if you press no & choose always use that answer, you'll not be asked & not be able to downld files that would have requested information about licensing; thus you'll need to do one of 2 options:

(1) Revert Popups to Default : Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>View>Popups & click revert to default.

(2) Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Searching>Basic & decide whether to tick or untick "Show License Warning" (this is a setting you should do when 1st setting up.)

Mac OSX users will find the options in a different location. Use Command (apple key) & comma, (⌘-,) to bring up the LW preferences. Then same as above. ___ (click image to see larger view)

And for OSX that's of course:

For LW 5.0 - 5.2, option can be found in Tools -> Options -> Security, & press on Warning Messages - Settings button. Also decide over Filtering options:

Yes I am having the same problem with the lisence with the new LM but I thought everything to do with LM was legal that's why I subcribed to it.

Subscribed? I think you should see this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1

No where on the official LW site does it say downlding copyright material is legal. The official site is here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
If you paid a lot of money for it then i'd cancel the transaction asap. LW Pro costs US $18.88 & the Basic version is Free. Some scam sites will have you pay more & then direct you to the downld page of the Basic version. Since when would the record companies be happy about people sharing copyright songs for free when they don't get a penny/cent. Any web site that claims Free downlds of music & movies is a scam site!
