So in order to download it all you have to do is go to freaking technical support? I dont think so, something must have gone wrong, but we bought the damn thing so it should work!

Looks like you clicked on the third link--you'll need to click the first or second link in the email. Here's what my reply from LW Pro looked like (I snipped out my personal code info)
Quote:
Your LimeWire application is ready for download here:
http://sales.limewire.com/051222/C4m<personal numbers sipped>vh8
or if that address is not working
http://64.61.25.139/051222/C4m<personal numbers sipped>Bvh8

Please save this email and/or bookmark this URL because you can
receive free updates using this for the next 6 months. If you have
any problems, please visit our PRO support page:
http://sales.limewire.com/support/

NOTE - AOL USERS: There are known problems in downloading the
LimeWire installers with the default AOL web browser. Please use
an external browser (Internet Explorer, etc) if you encounter
this problem.

Oh no!

That means you didn't get an email from the official LimeWire Pro people, but from one of the scam sites that are pretty good at making people *think* they are getting Pro.

You might be able to get your money back: see the stories of how at the long thread here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751

Can you post the email you received (just snip the personal info) so others can be warned?

Thanks

No no no it was definatly the right websight i know it was limewire, when i opened my own limewire it said do you want to upgrade to limewire pro and i clicked that, that couldnt be a scam could it? how could someone change the link limewire itself gives you to become their own scam page.

If you are sure that you paid the right people for LW Pro, then the link GrandPa gave above should recognize the email address you used and get you either your download page or pro support.

If you somehow ended up with a hacked copy of LW Pro, that changed the address (first I heard of that), then the Pro lookup page won't recognize the email address and just default to the regular download page.

Sorry

You can search these forums for "mformel" She's the LW business person who shows up once in a while, and maybe she can help.

I hope you took a careful look at the scam thread I linked above. It's a good warning to everybody about some of the trick the scammers use.
