Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Lost My Limewire Pro; Need to re-install

Due to a system crash of my computer I lost the installation of the Limewire PRO that was installed . Unfortunately, when I tried to re-install by going to the web site of Limewire the e-mail address I put in was rejected. Since I paid for the lifetime subscription to Limewire a while back, the e-mail address may have been different than the one I have presently and which may not be the one registered with my account at Limewire.

I would like to know how I can contact them to re-install my Limewire PRO with the situation I am in since Limewire only has support via e-mail.

Please rspond ASAP.

there is no such thing as a lifetime subscription to LimeWire...a purchase lasts for 6 months of updates...

Default Lost Limewire PRO due to system crash; how do I get support without the correct email

Due to a system crash of my computer I lost the installation of the Limewire PRO that was installed . Unfortunately, when I tried to re-install by going to the web site of Limewire the e-mail address I put in was rejected. Since I paid for the UNLIMITED subscription to Limewire PRO a while back, the e-mail address may have been different than the one I have presently and which may not be the one registered with my account at Limewire.

I would like to know how I can contact them (1-800 number or general e-mail) to re-install my Limewire PRO with the situation I am in since Limewire only has support via another e-mail.

Please respond ASAP.

Stop double posting

There is no UNLIMITED lifetime subscription to LimewirePro. You have been scammed by someone having nothing to do with LimewireLLC (The REAL company that makes Limewire)

Limewire support of course does not give support for LimewirePro that you didn't pay them one cent for. You gave your money to the scamartists instead of LimewireLLC

Search the forum for scammed. You are not the first person to be scammed into buying Unlimited Limewire

Buy the real thing here www.limewire.com . Also save your installers to disk or something from now on

if you made your purchase at www.limewire.com, then you need to get some new glasses...if you paid elsewhere, you were scammed...

END OF FARKING DISCUSSION...LW HAS NEVER HAD A LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP

There's NO official lifetime membership ie if you buy Pro from the official site. Some scam sites do offer a 'lifetime membership'.
You don't have to update an official version either, the purchaser can use the version(s) they've bought for as long as they like.
Updating isn't going to prevent viruses...it's up to the user to make sure they're scanning files after download with their AV & to be aware of what file types are easily infected, whether file size looks correct etc & learn what to avoid

Charging for Limewire is illegal. It's open source software. If you paid for it, you should try to get your money back.

For the time being, however, just google XXXXXXXXXX. You'll get dozens of sites that offer a completely legal, legit, full copy of limewire.

You shouldn't encourage people to google for Pro...people end up with all sorts of malware & versions that are stuffed.

If they want a copy of Pro, they can buy a clean version from the official site
www.limewire.com
If they don't want to pay for Pro, there's always the free basic version.
It is NOT illegal to charge for Pro.

Alright, let me re-phrase. It's "immoral".
Under the GPL, you can charge for software. However, anybody that pays for it can then redistribute it free of charge.
Charging for it here when it is legally available for free all over the internet is kind of stupid if you ask me.

Google your hearts out folks. Your just wastin money otherwise
