limewire currently unavailable in Canada

Help please, I bought the $34 version of limewire which is supposed to be a lifetime membership. Haven't been able to get on for several month. Site says limewire is currently only available to US customers, (i am in Canada) they are working to secure international licenses. How long is this supposed to take and when can i expect to get limewire back? Has anyone else had this problem.:rofl:

Hi ebilogue,

Sorry to say, but if you payed for a 'lifetime' subscription to LW then you've been scammed. Did you pay for LW Pro? LW basic is free. Who did you pay for LW?

I think you might be getting confused with the LW Store. That's available for the US only. LW can still connect to the Gnutella network & allow downloads from other Gnutella users.

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

The official site offers 3 kinds of Pro.
1. Extended Pro costs $34.95 & entitles you to 12 months worth of email tech support & free updates.

2. Pro costs $21.95 & entitles you to 6 months worth of email tech support & free updates.
For some reason this option is really well hidden - hopefully LW aren't trying to 'suggest' to people that the only Pro option is Extended Pro... that would be quite shitful :blink:
When you click to buy Pro, you'll see 'change term' under Purchase Summary.

Click on 'change term' & you'll now see the option to download Pro for 6 months.

3. And another option that's a bit hidden - if you go to LW's forum page & click on 'Download' you'll see the option to buy a Pro version that doesn't include any email support or updates. Just a one-off purchase of the current version.

Thanks so much for all the info. I must have bought the pro version but don't seem to be able to get tech support so am confused. I downloaded the upgrade to limewire 5.2.8 and now it seems to be working. Thanks again.
