This update thing is a real pain & has upset heaps of users. Because you bought Pro so long ago, your email address won't be in LW's database any more. Unless you saved your Pro installer, you won't be able to install Pro again without paying for it.

If you want to, you can download the latest basic (free) version from Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent «
Unfortunately, we can't do much except give info - we don't work for LW.
ATTENTION: LW Pro users!! Update info!!

You could also post over at this other forum. It's not going to get your Pro back, but there's a chance that your post will be seen by LW employees & they might realise how many people are upset about the update prompt.
