Default Bought Pro, but LimeWire opens as old regular LW format

Hello, I have an odd problem which started tonight. Yesterday I bought and installed the LimeWire Pro format. It told me everything was ready and I even downloaded a few things. Tonight (Wed. March 5), I went to open LimeWire--I clicked on the icon that said LimeWire PRO-- but when it opened up, it looked exactly like the old version, not Pro; it even still had the ads telling me to buy Pro again. I'm not paying twice. I used Pro yesterday and I want to know how to get it to open up as Pro again. If I can't, I'll be looking for a refund.

Where did you buy LW Pro from? **BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites (click on link)
The reason I am asking is some people google LW, end up at a scam site bye clicking an ad link and not the main search results and think they are buying pro & end up with LW Basic.

I bought it from a link I clicked on in the actual original LimeWire client. I hadn't used a Google search or other search, I just clicked on the thing at the bottom of the client that says "Upgrade to LimeWire Pro." It opened the company website, I downloaded and installed the Windows version, and it installed the actual LimeWire Pro. Then later on when I tried to open it again (at the time I wrote the first post), it had for some reason "reverted" to the original LimeWire design, the non-Pro.

When I did the Pro version download, I went to the official LimeWire site. It was not a generic download hub-- I used the regular Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent «.

What I see when I try to open up LimeWire from the desktop icon is that the icon itself says LimeWire 4.16.6, but when I click to open it, it opens as LimeWire 4.14, the older version. I wonder if maybe the install did not go through completely. Is there any way I can refresh or redo the installation without having to pay another fee?

Thank you for your help. It really is appreciated.
