Upgrade/update

[marand93]

I purchased Pro last year. Have had no problem with it at all. I did what i thought was an update and the next thing I know, i no longer have Pro. I still have all my mp3 files but am disappointed at not having pro anymore.

I have tried going thru Support, but my email address apparently is not valid.

Please help, I want my PRO back!!!

Probably not what you want to here, but if it's been longer than 6 months then you will have to buy Pro again. Now they offer Pro for a year if that's better for you. Hope this helps.

Your're right, its not what i wanted to hear. Shame. Thanks anyway.

Hi, it seems odd there are many of us out there that have suddenly lost our LW PRO and now need to repurchase it. Doesn't this seem strange to anyone?

Unfortunately I am not able to help you but I have exactly the same situation...and also my email address doesn't work for tech. support help...so I don't know what to do...obviosuly they want some money from time to time although when I subscribed for Lime Wire it was for life...one time fee...eheehee
If somebody has an idea how to get back our Pro and update at the same time please let us know...

KuKuDad, You were SCAMMED. There's no such thing as a Lifetime subscription. Limewire Basic is Free for ever. Limewire Pro is offered for a 6 month and recently a 12 month subscription.

Only download Limewire from here.

Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent «.

I discovered in another thread that I was also scammed by purchasing a 'lifetime' membership to LimeWire. The fella who posted kept referring to me as "novice internet" user. However, I am not, and I know, I remember downloading from LimeWire website....not from some other website, a one time purchase for access. I was flipping back and forth between LW and Napster for pete's sake.
I realize the super-duper, turbo-charged thingy was an additional fee, which I also purchased, with the assumption it was also "lifetime".
And with the new upgrade, many of us have suddenly lost our PRO...and we mysteriously no longer are listed in their databases, since they reject our email addresses when we seek tech support. Now if that sure don't smell funny.
But LimeWire must be counting the bucks today, since we all need to re-purchase our PRO, and are now stuck with old software technology. I don't even have 4.14...my basic LW keeps loading 4.10.
AND, there was no indication that purchasing PRO was on a 6mo or 1 yr term.
I think LimeWire need to make money and we are suffering the consequences. I think I'll hold out on buying PRO again, nervous LW will send out a new upgrade in a month or two. - sour grapes indeed -

Well I respectfully disagree with you. You were scammed believe it or not. Go to the original Limewire site and you will see that there is NO Lifetime offer. Sorry.

Even though it seems many of us were scammed, since LimeWire's website clearly states it is FREE today, was it FREE in January 2006 when I perused their site? Only LW can answer that. Additionally, when I purchased PRO in Feb 2006, there was no indication of a time frame. I'm not the only one with similar concerns, as a read through many threads, a lot of people lost their PRO.

BASIC is FREE and always has been AFAIK. PRO is what you pay for. Like I said earlier, you were SCAMMED into BUYING Basic.
For the sake of argument, All I can say is be carefull and you might want to check your past bank or CC statements,as these ROUGE SCAM sites will continue to charge your account after you have paid for your "Life Time" Subscription.
