Where does it say 'LifeTime'? They have customer support, go to their support page.
LW Pro can be purchased in 3 forms; (a) the default 6 months of updates & support, (b) Extended which is 12 months of updates & support. And another (c) which is a single cheaper offer which does not include updates or support. Those things are specified rather clearly on their site.

You only get one bar of power? You have a connection problem I am guessing, right?

No, I have no connection issues with any other sites to which I am a paid subscriber. I've tested my bandwidth and I've exhausted several possibilities giving you guys -always- the benefit of the doubt.

I'm a Dork to a point. But I've honestly asked all the questions and tried everything in my quest to garner the very least advantage from LIMEWIRE.

Thanks for replying and helping me out btw. I appreciate your communication. Cheers LOTR!
