Did you read the conditions of purchase ... as most people should do before they purchase something. 6 months ONLY support & updates .. only during that period can you get another copy. If you want another copy without paying, then get LW BASIC it is FREE.

Since when does Adobe, Microsoft or any other major software company give free full versions of a software to anybody when their purchase support has ceased (including previous versions) without paying (there is usually some kind of time/other limit.) Perhaps some generous small time software dealers might.

I don't work for LW nor does this forum belong to LW.org.

You paid for a software, you received it & had multiple years use of it, your support finished. Do you also want a free replacement for your TV you bought ten years ago? woot

Older LW versions are not available because the Gnutella network goes through changes. Allowing older version software of any gnutella client to still be available when it's behaviour is detriment to the running of the network is not in the best interests of the users as a whole.

LW's recent forced update was also due to this reason which was explained to us by their employees.
