Not recognized by Limwire after reformat!

I just reformatted my hard drive because I was having big problems. I also switched from dial up service, to high speed. When I purchased Limewire Pro about four months ago I know I used my girlfriends computer and email address, because I didnt have one. Now I do and I dont know her email address, and we dont talk at all (she wont cooperate at all) didnt have any problem setting up Limewire pro on this computer from her email inbox when I got it, but I just yesterday reformatted and reinstalled windows. I actually was still able to execute the install file because back then I copied it to my second hard drive, but I just tried to upgrade because the link at the bottom in red says there is a newer version, and it wants an email address that I no longer have access to. I guess if it is a problem then I can just go on using the version that I have because it still works! I just wanted to upgrade!
I have:
Windows XP Professional SP2
No firewalls and windows firewalls disabled
640 MB of RAM
272 GB of HD space available
Cable connection
Webstar by Scientific Atlanta Modem with Hawking Wireless 4 port router
Connecting from my apartment
Running Limewire 4.12.11 Pro and Java 1.5.0_03
My ISP is Time Warner Southern California
Test results say "Your test worked!"
I am not sharing my connection with other compuuters, I do use Azureus also
This is a new problem with an experienced user
I do see a brick wall in front of my globe
I use port forwarding on my router
No antiviruse or security programs in use
I live in the USA

Thank you.

That sounds a bit suspicious to me. We can't really help you there. Best bet is to contact limenathan (click on link) & see if he is willing to help. But to me it's like you're both sharing LW Pro & in that way attempting to cheat LW.org To suggest you don't have your own email address is highly suspicious to me. You don't need to have your own computer to have your own email address.

Otherwise stick with version you have. Else buy Pro or get Basic.

Only 1 or 2 mos. left anyways!

Im not even going to worry about it because the program still works. You see I was 100 percent computer illiterate until a couple of months ago, and although I may have an email address then, my girlfriend was kinda guiding me through the whole limewire purchase. I really dont think that it is cheating LW Org., because my ex doesnt even use Limewire, plus we, at the time, were a couple living together sharing her computer! Anyways, I think that just registering for this forum, let alone the posting was way too much work invested considering the program is working. I really was just a little irritated that I couldnt update to the new version. Thanks anyways! My membership will expire in like two months anyways. Thank you and happy computing!
