It sounds like you bought LW from a scam site. There are heaps around. Some will charge you for LW basic (which is free) & also charge you extra for a heap of other programs (which are usually freeware as well).

The only official site for downloading LW is Lime Wire » Download LimeWire (payment to LimeWireLLC shows on credit card statement)

Basic LW is free & you'll see the Pro prices in the link above. The official site doesn't offer any 'extras' apart from email support & free updates, if you buy LW Pro.

Sorry, but we can't help with anything offered by scam sites

Well no I did purchase Lime wire Pro, It showed up just as you say on my bill and it worked just like the Pro should, i've used both the basic and the Pro and well if i did get it from someone other than Limewire I reccommend that place i got it from, They gave me all kinds of really useful software... the problem is i can't remeber who i got it from...
