hey.. here is something I have never seen before...

My Update LWpro subcription just ran out... I wanked the computer and wanted to grab a clean copy.. seems that thier is no way to DL the version you have a licance for if your subcription/1 year free updates runs out....

any idea's how to do this offically, Since I have a legal purchase I to version XYZ.123 I would think re-downloading that version should be allowed, ...

ok .. let me know... if thier is a nice easy way to get a copy (which is the current version BTW) -- or should I just use creative ways to get a copy??

Does anyone remember where is said, Free updates for 1 year but after that your out.. no LWpro not even re-downloading the one you have paid for???

Buying Limewire Pro gets you 6 months free updates, after that you have to buy again. Your 6 months must have run out. Next time make a back up copy of the pro version you have.

Are you sure you got if from the official site: limewire.com

You can use "creative ways" to try and get another copy but you won't know if it's infected or not.

I got a real credit card charge, and I got a URL -- 6 month's or a year I don't remember but, I know I can re-download any software or patches up to the paid version of pretty much every commerial software I own... and as I said... more as a warning to other's ... LW don't play by that assummed rule... your 6 month's is out and you don't have a hardcopy back up -- you get dick.. the friendly url that you used in the past will just bump you *** to how to buy and update... ZERO options ZERO recogition that you have a full legal pro version and you might just need the last update or that the beta crapped out and you need the old update...

and the tech support for pro owner is non-existant... sorry but if but lets face that fact too .. sure you got a stupid question a monkey with a que card and handle you might get a responce but look over the forums.. the hard questions or reponce to replacement of pervious version (any every software company also does that) you don't even get an anser

as for clean or dirty in a copy of LW -- if you understand hot the whole p2p works, once installed it you open your stuff up and that's just how it go's so keep ypur guard uo, opening extra ports and disabling firewalls, giving the computer the ok to accept incomming on all ports.. ... its not the virus's it's the exposure that will get explotied by the evil ones

I don't make the rules I was just trying to answer your question. It says right on the LW site that if you buy pro you get 6 months free updates and 6 months Pro support. After that you have to pay again. If you installed Basic over top of Pro. I'm sorry but its not my fault. You should have made a back up copy.

After your 6 months are up it doesn't recognize your e-mail address. So you have to pay again to redownload LW Pro. Thats how the LW site works.

I've never had to use the Pro support so I don't know how good it is. I've always been able to find my answers on the forums.

I only asked if you got it from the official site because you said it was good for a year. There are all kinds of scam sites offering all kinds of different memberships, so it sounded like a possibility.

If you want to d/l a copy from somewhere other than limewire.com thats up to you. I don't make any money from it.

no -- I don't want to hunt LWpro down from some other site

nor would I expect free upgrade/updates beyound what I paid for,


the point -- a head's up, unless I'm missing it... you can NOT go back, if you what to redownload the previous version for (maybe a new release bugs out on your box) or you tested out a beta and it dumped --- seems you can not unless you have a clean version on hand...

so make sure you alway use a condom, you never know how many other computers that program might have been with and if you catch something it and get on all your stuff and since you can NOT download a clean copy from LW -- it could be terminal...

All I want to know is how to re DL my current paid for pro version

As 6_pac said, if you went to a site that offered LW with 1 year free updates then it was not the official LW site. Therefore you couldn't possibly have LW pro. You can check yourself:

1. Go to LW's help menu>About LW as described: Shows About LW Pro (click on link)

2. Membership? - **WARNING ** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites (click on link)

3. Get the official version here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml (BTW if you follow the pro link you'll see it offers 6 months of free updates, not 1 year. If you had pro, then they would have reminded you by email with a discount to continue with pro.
