I always back up my installers. I also bookmark my pro page. In that way, I can always fall back to a previous version if one seems to be too buggy or under-performing. Also the pro-page will show if I am nearing the end of my period of pro (they generally offer a discount for continuing with pro ... at least used to over the last 4 weeks of the period of support .. not sure if they still do.)

This is probably why I had problem. In the last year, I purchased (under false pretense it seems) LimeWire, then upgraded to PRO, then my computer died, had to upgrade OS to XP...yada, yada...then I switched my ISP, no wonder LW can't find me. But it's difficult to inform them of my new address, since they only receive paying customer's address'

It is an odd one this. I gave them my email address that hasnt changed since Moses was a lad. But no, they cant find me either. Dont really like using the word scam, but on this occasion...
