LW offers pro updates for 6 months. So after 6 months, you will be offered to recontinue with pro at a discount amount. If not accepted, then your name will be removed from their database. It is specified support & free updates are only offered for 6 mths. This is similar to all other online (& offline) purchases for software. You can get LW Basic for FREE from here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

My typing "IS" getting slow if Only A Hobo beats me! lol

I did forget about the month date thingy... in USA they put the month at the beginning.

If you bought it in November last year, then check your receipt as it will have a phone number you can contact customer support.
