No of course not. Simply get LW Basic. It's free !!!! ... Why pay for Pro? Both programs look identical & if you were sitting in front of either, I"m sure it would take a long time for you to tell the difference, if ever. lol

Lime Wire » Download LimeWire ... erm what do you not understand? Have you heard of Microsoft or Adobe giving LIFETIME free upgrades to most recent version for any of their programs? If you really did purchase LW pro from the official site in the first place & IF you read the payment conditions, you'd know the support only lasts for 6 months. Read it now if you forgot to before paying 5 years ago.
