I wish to transfert my Limewire to another computer

pitou · #1 (**permalink**) April 12th, 2009

When I purchased Limewire, I installed it on a G4 (Tiger).
Now I just bought a iMac and want to use Limewire on it.
I dragged the application on the other computer but Limewire is different:
it always asks me to update, there's a blue advertisement in the middle,
it looks like a demo or not the complete version.

What can I do?

Thanks

P.S. The 2 computers are connected together on my home network,
could I use Limewire on both? I copied the Limewire folder from Library but it didn't change anything. Maybe there are others preferences or application files elsewhere on my hard drive.

Which LW version are you using?
LW does install in various ways. It installs a receipt file inside the Library receipts folder. This could be copied across I guess. Receipts folder sample image. Not sure if it makes any difference it came from a different mac computer installation.

Are you still with Pro support & updates or has your Pro expired? Download another copy. Did you delete your previous installer? Why not just use that one?

Sounds to me like you are using LW 4, it's asking you to update to LW 5 right? You will do better with LW 4 I assure you.
