Hi ebilogue,
Sorry to say, but if you payed for a 'lifetime' subscription to LW then you've been scammed. Did you pay for LW Pro? LW basic is free. Who did you pay for LW?
I think you might be getting confused with the LW Store. That's available for the US only. LW can still connect to the Gnutella network & allow downloads from other Gnutella users.
The only official site for downloading LW basic (free) or Pro (costs $) is
Official Website & Free Download - Lime Wire
The official site offers 3 kinds of Pro.
1. Extended Pro costs $34.95 & entitles you to 12 months worth of email tech support & free updates.
2. Pro costs $21.95 & entitles you to 6 months worth of email tech support & free updates.
For some reason this option is really well hidden - hopefully LW aren't trying to 'suggest' to people that the only Pro option is Extended Pro... that would be quite shitful ![Blink](images/smilies/blink.gif)
When you click to buy Pro, you'll see 'change term' under Purchase Summary.
Click on 'change term' & you'll now see the option to download Pro for 6 months.
3. And another option that's a bit hidden - if you go to LW's forum page & click on 'Download' you'll see the option to buy a Pro version that doesn't include any email support or updates. Just a one-off purchase of the current version.
