***CAUTION*** DONT pay for the PRO version
 
Dont waste your money on the Limewire PRO version as it appears to be a scam. I paid for the pro version and when I went to upgrade as you are entitled to upgrades for a limited time, I upgraded and my upgrade time expired app. 2 weeks after I got my free upgrade. THEN the other day when I went to log on it asked me to upgrade to the "PRO" version again. This was AFTER I had already upgraded to the latest version. So naturally I went to the page to upgrade to PRO again and guess what.. luck would have it that my time had expired so now they are asking me to PAY for the pro version AGAIN!!! Just save your money and stick with the free version. Otherwise, you might end up being asked to pay for it all over again. I'm not happy Limewire!!! :mad:

It's not a scam. Everything is described on their website. You get Pro with 6 months of free updates. Around the end of 6 months you can repurchase at a discount. Now what is scamming about that? Didn't you read about what you were buying? Sounds like you're just cheesed off because you forgot your 6 months of free updates has finished. That doesn't give you the right to call it a scam when there's nothing on the LW site that is trying to trick anybody. It's all there described ... LW pro with 6 months of free updates & support. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml duh! :rolleyes:

There's no lifetime of free updates for Pro. Where does it say that on their website? Besides you can keep using the version you have.

Chase412006 July 30th, 2006 09:40 PM

The scam IS...
 
The scam is that it took away the version of Pro that I DID pay for and booted me back to the basic version.. if its not gonna let ya have anymore updates then thats fine but let me keep the version and build that I DID pay for instead of booting back to the free version. They never tell you that you will be bounced back if ya dont choose to keep paying for it.

birdy July 30th, 2006 09:45 PM

It's up to the user to save their Pro installers. You paid for Pro so keep the installers for the versions you updated during the 6 months!

Well aren't we glad LW exists!!! It wouldn't if everybody had your attitude.

Sphinx August 5th, 2006 06:13 PM

Hey idiot, champbronc2, hope you realize the bogus version you are using will give you viruses? lmao. So, I hope you have an up todate AV and may the Gods give you a virus that slips by your AV and ruins your machine. Grin all you want moron, but those bogus version will allow hackers to get in your computer, besides other things. :rolleyes:

Wow, another smart one......and you're sure you didn't get a version coming with more than the real one (as it is the case in 99 out of 100 cases; i.e. trojans/viruses/maleware/worms just to name a few)?
By the way, the rules about names of copyright protected stuff covers also LW.

foolofthehill seems to be getting more than his fair share today!

Myerz August 5th, 2006 11:19 PM

Fool,

you can stomp around here like you know everything..... (which doesn't appear to be the case) I know what I got and it is what it is... Pro LW.
I'll agree there's alot of crap on LW though.

Marcassin August 6th, 2006 02:08 AM

I 've updated to the 4.12.4 LW pro version lately and I understand I'd better save it (than just execute) if I don't want to have the same problem as Chase41, that right?

birdy August 6th, 2006 02:56 AM

Yep, save your installers. That way you'll always have access to all versions that have been released during your 6 months of Pro. You can't download those old instllers from LW later.
:)

Marcassin August 6th, 2006 04:50 AM

Thanks

Kolandromir August 7th, 2006 10:09 AM

Friends please, i have a way around it!

Just download ****** using the ****.

oh sure, you won't have the free upgrades, but you can get them the same way.

Hobo might as well let them download the bogus version so they can get viruses and hacked into their computer. why bother? They're going to use it no matter what then come here and brag about it like its a big deal. The admins should ban everyone who comes here saying to download the hacked version of Pro. If you want to screwup your computer then by all means use it I say.

Sphinx August 7th, 2006 04:15 PM

The first thing they'll get is a virus. So let em use the hacked version of Pro lol. And then when they whine that they got a virus from their hacked version just ignore them. because eventually thats what will happen. :)

Oh and you CANT GET THE FREE UPGRADES THE SAMEWAY jerk.

I'm afraid you are getting confused and talking to the wrong person. I did pay for my pro version of limewire. Twice, actually, when after a year I upgraded my proLW
It's true that after updating to Lw 4.12.4 (which I didn't have to pay for,since it xas a free update) I first hit execute instead of save , and I realised after reading what happened to Chase I put a question about saving the installer of the updated version , for which I got a reply already.

Don't download the hacked version! And if you do don't come crying here there are viruses on my computer. If you want the PRO version buy it from limewire. And don't download from Limewire. If you download it from the basic and use it you are a nidwit. Or if it isn't filled with viruses it don't work!!! So if you download the hacked copy from limewire it's not our problem!

taureandago August 8th, 2006 01:37 PM

i paid for the pro version a while ago and never got it downloaded. I need to contact limewire on the phone but can not find the phone # anywhere. If anyone knows the 800 # for limewire please let me know. thanx

Sphinx August 8th, 2006 01:43 PM

garbagefan2, you misread my post. :rolleyes:



taureandago, Did you get it from www.limewire.com If so then just PM a mod or a Admin for help with that. Not sure if you can just call Limewire. and why didnt you download it after you paid for it? You would have gotten an email from Limewire with the link fordownloading after they received your payment of 18.88 (us dollars).

Lord of the Rings August 8th, 2006 01:43 PM

Send a personal message to this person: RSterne (click on link) & include all details possible such as purchase date, any receipt numbers, the email you registered under, etc.

As Sphinx says, are you sure you paid $18.88 US for it? If not, you didn't get it from LimeWire.org

aliance August 8th, 2006 02:00 PM

Pease help. Why is it say i need more sources?

Meanings of the download messages. (click on link) See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link) ie: make sure there's plenty of hosts under the # column of the search results & also choose those with 4 stars as that represents chances of connecting. But be aware of Fake files: Turbo-Charged Connection but can't download (click on link)

And in future please search your topic before posting. You've posted into a thread of a totally different topic. ie: Look at the Stickies in the Upload/Download problems section. ;)

Maybe this has already been mentioned in this topic, but I will say it anyway:

I was happy with the free version of LW. After a couple weeks I had a long list of the songs that I enjoy. I purchased Pro just as a way to make a small donation for what I got free. Not only did I get music but reading the posts and the advice to fix problems gave me a lot more computer knowledge. Thanks people and at the end of my six months I will be happy to "BUY" it again.

Your attitude is what makes the developers of LW go on to enhance this nice tool.........glad to see that those "jerks" above are a small minority in the file-sharing community !! ;) :) ;)

I think its time to start ban those that use the illigal version of LW. Sen Im surprised at you.

Now I know why you posted that thread in the other forum.
