I finally got it to work. I had to go back and manually delete all the old Limewire files, uninstall and then reinstall from the link I got from Limewire with the Pro software. I did buy it from the official Limewire site and it was a one time charge of $9.95 with no tech support or updates.

Thank you for replying and offering you help. Fortunately, it wasn't a scam. :-)
