You are not a newbie but you seem terribly confused, to me anyway.
Limewire Basic is free and only scam sites sell it. If you want LW Basic then go to the official site and download it:
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
LWPro cost $18.88, for that you get 6 months of upgrades/updates and technical support, also available from the above URL.
Now, it seems that you bought your FREE LW from a scam site and, a year later, just beginning to realise "all is not right", the truth has finally caught up with you.
If I am correct then you have joined "The Legions of the
SCAMMED" but you just didn't realise it at the time, i.e. you are one of thousands (mainly newbies) who have rushed to scam sites and given them your money for a product that is free.
If I am wrong then let me know.
