Help with older (Pro) download please!
 
Hi!
I love Limewire, but had an older Pro version(4-12-6, i think); i had to do a system recovery, and lost it. When i try to redownload, the site won't accept my e-mail address which the version was purchased under. I don't know what to do now. I tried downloading the 5 version, but it won't work. I would like to have the older Pro version back, if at all possible. Can you help? I have windows XP and the latest version of Java insalled.
Thanks!
Cat

4.12.6 was released in July, 2006. Back then, buying Pro entitled you to 6 months worth of email support & free updates. Which means that you would have been able to download Pro until Feb/March 2007. After that, your email address wouldn't have been in LW's database any more & so it wouldn't be recognised.

Sorry, but your Pro's way out of date & you aren't elligible to download Pro for free.
LW don't keep those old installers for download anyhow - it's up to the user to save & back up whatever installers they download while their Pro benefits are current:)

You need to re-order the software, Try out Limewire 5. Its got a new look!

I seriously believe you would prefer LW 4. Download from a link under the Past Releases paragraph here: Get LimeWire for Your Platform - Lime Wire

A high percentage of both old & new users have gone back to LW 4 after disliking or having problems with LW 5. For such an experienced user, I'm sure a bright green interface with many less functions would not attract you. LW 4 is most likely your best choice.

One issue with LW 4.12 is the newer versions will not connect to versions older than LW 4.14, thus giving older version users problems connecting & finding files to download. At least with LW 4.18 you will see best of both worlds. :)

Thank you very much!
 
I am downloading LW4.18 as i speak, and i am grateful for your reply. Hopefully, i can go back to downloading the best selection of songs ever!
Again, my thanks,
Cat:)
