This message about the license won't pop up while you are installing. After your first seach and download attempt, it will remind you that you need a license to download specific files. It will offer you to click "YES" and "NO" to the question whether you want to download the file (anyway). There should also be a small square saying "use always this answer". Tick it and then press "YES" if the license issue isn't a (ethical) bother for you.....
If you mess it up, follow this link on how to correct a wrong answer to this case (which would prevent you from doanloading a lot of files):

Sometimes LW need some time to settle down....can be anything from 2 - 45 minutes. If you do not see a small brickwall in front of the globe in the left bottom corner, then you're almost there. That the brickwall disappears is good for both of us....
Patience is a virtue, with computers a necessity.....as a wise friend of mine once stated.....

Try posting more specific info on setup first. Please try to answer all the questions.

Just copy/paste this into a reply with your answers

1. What's your connection like - do you have any green bars at all?
Is there a brick wall in front of world ?

2. Do this test & see if it works. What does it say ?
http://www3.limewire.com:6346

3. What are your details

OS ? (Win XP, Mac OSX etc.)
How much free harddiskspace ?
How much RAM ?
LW & Java version ? (In Limewire press Help>about LW & you'll see)
What Firewall you're using ?
Any Antivirus/spyware programs that youre using ?
Modem/router brand & model ?
Are you using portforwarding, UPnP or nothing ? (Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Config)
What is your listening port ? (Same as above)
ISP (Internet Service Provider) ?
Connection type (Dial-Up, ADSL, DSL etc.) + Speed Up/Down if you know ?
Where you connect from (home, school etc.) ?
Are you sharing a connection with other computers ?
Has Limewire ever worked for you ? If so how long have you been using it ?

Have you tried using any other P2P apps & if so, do you have the same problems (BitTorrent, Shareaza etc.)?

Give a detailed description of your problem. Also include any attempts to fix this. It helps people rule things out

Could be your ISP using traffic shaping on P2P

If you could tell us a bit more about the setup. Like e.g. your ISP maybe some site would mention if it's not P2P friendly. Seriously try and anwswer all the questions not just some.

You could be picking bad downloads as well

Try some of the tips in here and see if you get better speed

How to find music

There is a lot of spam on the Network and these are ways to get around it
