i too used to have the older LW on my pc but when i had it serviced a few years ago, the tech recommended getting rid of it and totally removed it from the pc. the version i had, i have no idea what version# it was, and IIRC, i paid a small fee to have a lifetime membership, but now i cant find any trace of the LW that i paid for way back then and cant seem to be able to find any information as to how i can re-enable my old subscription...apparently only "Pro" versions are qualified for customer service help these days?

Sounds as though you were scammed.

The only official site for download of LW basic (free) or Pro is Official Website & Free Download - Lime Wire

The official site hasn't ever offered 'lifetime membership'.
Email support from that site has only ever been available to Pro users who bought from the official site & whose benefits are current (ie still within the 6 or 12 month period, depending on whether they paid for 6 or 12 months worth of Pro).

Basic users can get support here.

the "lifetime" membership i'm talkiing about was Way back around 2003?!
probably about the time LW had just started.
