Default MacOSX 10.4.2 and LimeWire Pro

I am currently using a PowerBook G4 running MacOS 10.4.2 and I just updated my copy of LimeWire Pro from v4.8.1 Pro to v4.9.29. When I updated to v4.9.29, I noticed that I wasn't running LimeWire Pro anymore. I have the original confirmation email I received when I purchased LimeWire Pro (dated October 24, 2004) and I have attempted to use the link to download the installer. Is this link only good for six months? When I attempt to pull up any information using my email address I am given an error message. Is that information only stored for six months as well? Do I need to purchase a new copy of LimeWire Pro now?

Default Same problem

I have almost the same problem. I am running OS X 10.4.2 on a Powerbook G4. I purchase Limewire Pro. I received the link, downloaded what I thought was LimeWire Pro. Install the program......and it's not Pro but the basic.
I tried to let my e-address to the appropriate support page but it send me automatically to the page which propose to download either Pro or Basic.

Pro only lasts for six months. After that your e-mail address is removed from the data base. fwiw I reckon 4.9.29pro is worth the meagre re-investment and it goes to wards the continued development of an excelent product.

Thanks

kkaine, Sorry for the delay in replying.

Try this: go to http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml >click Get pro >>>>> agree to no copyright infringement > You will see The order form. > click "already bought pro" enter your email address and you then have to choose which platform you have> click OSX and the download will begin, after you have chosen the save option.

The file you get should be the right one. I explained this in detail as I want to know if it works exactly the same for you.

Default Thanks, but.......

In fact it's always the same page I end up to.
The link for OS X sends me to the Basic version download, and not to the Pro version.

What link? Please either post it here or send it to me via pm & I'll check it out for you.

When you purchase pro, it can take anywhere up to 24 hrs or on occasions up to 36 hrs before the LW customer support send you an email with a link to your personal pro downld page. You should bookmark this page. I've a suspicion you didn't actually purchase your so-called pro from the official site but a scam site who you paid & then they give you a link to the basic version. This is how they generally operate. Let's find out if this is true 1st so if it is you can cancel the transaction & start again if your card company is reasonable when it comes to online scam sites. FYI see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1 If you did purchase LW Pro from the official site then you should be able to access your personal pro downld page from this link.

After I purchased the product, I received a mail from customer@limewire.com with the following links :

When I tried what you mentionned above, and I set my e-mail address where it is requested, I end up to the following pages : xxx

or, because I want the french version xxxxx

Each time it is the same page which shows :
LIMEWire Pro
Version 4.9.29
Welcome to Your LimeWire PRO Download Page!

You're using a Netscape, Mozilla, or Firefox browser.
Please bookmark this link (CTRL-D).

This page has 5 links :

Operating System Size
Windows 3.2 MB
Mac OSX 4.7 MB
Mac Classic (Frozen at 4.0) 11.6 MB
Linux (RPM) 4.2 MB
? Other (OS/2, Solaris, Linux) 4.6 MB

When I used the OSX link, to download, it actually download something which appears to be Limewire BASIC.
