Hey birdy,

ain't life fun.... especially when you get scammed? It has been about 3 years ago and as I recall they charged me about $42.00 for a "lifetime" membership. Anyway, I downloaded the "free" version it is different than mine was but I guess I will have to get used to it. I have enjoyed limewire and it has worked fine...never any problems. I will check out the link you gave me for the message I get.

Many thanks.

Don't feel bad - people get scammed every day.

If you want to keep using LW 5, you'll need to get used to a lot of differences The User Guide & FAQ for LW 5 are here at the top of the page: User Guide - LimeWire

If you'd rather go back to LW 4 (more like what you're used to) then you can always download it... just click on the 'Get Basic' button & then use the link to download old installers on the right hand side - then you can download a 4.18.8 installer

Hey Birdy,

I'll stick with 5...times change..software changes..its time to move on. I fixed the message that came up about license and appreciate the help. I have played with the new version tonight and am getting use to it.
If all else fails I'll read the instructions

best regards,
