Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Why can I use LimeWire PRO anymore?

Ive have purchased LimeWire PRO in december 2003, and have still the email that was send to me by LimeWire with all the necesary information.

Now a few years later I have bought a new Apple G5 an reinstalled Limewire again, running under OS X. Everytime I start up LimeWire, a message tells me to upgrade to the PRO version, which I already did.

If I try to contact LimeWire PRO support, I can't connect with my email adress anymore.

I dont wish to pay again for become a PRO-user, so can anyone tell me what I can or must do to become back a PRO-user?

Regards,
Luc

Pro offers 6 months of free updates & customer support. Near the end of 6 mths they will offer a discount for a short-time for continuation as a pro customer. But if the offer is not taken up on, then your name will disappear off their database. Only get LW thru the official site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

Thanks for you're answer, but I already know al this.

I only like to know if I must pay again to become a PRO user? LimeWire write on there site once you have paid to become a PRO user, you don't have to do this again, but how must I install this version again?

I can't acces they support anymore. So what must I do?

Please give me the internet address of the page where LW says once you have paid to become a PRO user, you don't have to do this again. I'd like to see where they say that. Can you tell me where, which url address? If you still have the program that's fine, you can keep using it. But as they say on their site, they only offer updates for 6 months. If you downlded pro now then that would be an update. Since your Pro support ran out 19 months ago. If you really want pro then you'll need to pay for it. Otherwise get LW Basic.

Click on the following link and read the Question "Q: Will I be billed every month for the LimeWire PRO service?"
http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...q.shtml#lwpro1

And once again...
I don't want to load down a PRO version of the program,...
I don't need updates or upgrades,...

All I want is the right to use the PRO version, because I have paid for it and don't want to purchase twice the same...

When I purchased LimeWire PRO, they has send me a mail and a CD. Why can I log in with this email-adress?

I looks to me the support isn't what it should use to be...

Regards,
Luc

A one time charge with 6 months of support & updates. That's it. It means you're not charged monthly or whatever. Once you buy pro, you can use that program or any of those updates over the next 6 mths for as long as you desire. It doesn't mean you have a "lifetime" membership to pro. If you lose what you bought then that's your fault not LW's. Understand that you bought the program in 2003. So if you wanted to replace your program with an updated version, then that was only valid until June. I'm not talking about this anymore. If you can't comprehend what 6 months of updates mean & you lost it then so be it. If you buy a car but you lose it. Even though it's under warranty, doesn't mean the company will replace it for you. And even if the warranty is finished & the car broke down due to manufacturing defects, they would not replace the car. If you lose it then that's not the company's fault. That's your fault. You're expecting a new version of LW Pro for no payment despite your business transaction & free updates finished 19 mths ago. Sounds like you misunderstood your purchase or you're trying to con both myself & the LW company. This thread is closed! No point it reiterating over same ground, deaf ears, & lack of understanding.
