A one time charge with 6 months of support & updates. That's it. It means you're not charged monthly or whatever. Once you buy pro, you can use that program or any of those updates over the next 6 mths for as long as you desire. It doesn't mean you have a "lifetime" membership to pro. If you lose what you bought then that's your fault not LW's. Understand that you bought the program in 2003. So if you wanted to replace your program with an updated version, then that was only valid until June. I'm not talking about this anymore. If you can't comprehend what 6 months of updates mean & you lost it then so be it. If you buy a car but you lose it. Even though it's under warranty, doesn't mean the company will replace it for you. And even if the warranty is finished & the car broke down due to manufacturing defects, they would not replace the car. If you lose it then that's not the company's fault. That's your fault. You're expecting a new version of LW Pro for no payment despite your business transaction & free updates finished 19 mths ago. Sounds like you misunderstood your purchase or you're trying to con both myself & the LW company. This thread is closed! No point it reiterating over same ground, deaf ears, & lack of understanding.
