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.

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. |

 Email Addresses Not Recognized Hello, I purchased a copy of Limewire Pro years ago and lost everything in a hard drive crash. I've tried every email address I have and none of them are recognized by your system.  Is there any way to get a working version of Pro without paying any more money? Thank You James A. Hall  |

| More than a few months ago, LW only offered Pro support & updates for 6 months period. Now they offer it for an optional 6 or 12 months. If you purchased LW pro more than 6 months ago then your email address will have been auto-removed from their database systems long ago. You can either purchase LW pro again, else get LW Basic for FREE at Lime Wire » Download LimeWire. (If you don't wish to contribute toward LW's future development, then get Basic.) |

| Madjim Did you know that at the time you purchased LW Pro it was only for 6 months worth of support and updates/upgrades. Now, if you did not know that then have you every stopped and asked yourself why you didn't know? UK Bob |

Same applies to users now; if they purchase Pro, it's their responsibility to keep a backup of their installer in case their support finishes or a particular update does not behave well for them. I guess it's vaguely a little like a warranty ... the time has long passed. |

Any other company who's programs I purchased makes older copies of the program available so their customers can always get a copy. It would seem that Limewire is big enough (and making enough money) to do the same. How much does it cost to keep old programs in a folder? I don't appreciate your "tongue lashing" and it doesn't make Limewire right or look any better in this case. Maybe it's time to do things a little different. If Limewire wants to make this right they should supply me with a copy of the program THAT I PAID FOR (not an upgrade). If you can't help make this happen, please don't respond to this post. |

| Did you read the conditions of purchase ... as most people should do before they purchase something. 6 months ONLY support & updates .. only during that period can you get another copy. If you want another copy without paying, then get LW BASIC it is FREE. Since when does Adobe, Microsoft or any other major software company give free full versions of a software to anybody when their purchase support has ceased (including previous versions) without paying (there is usually some kind of time/other limit.) Perhaps some generous small time software dealers might. I don't work for LW nor does this forum belong to LW.org. You paid for a software, you received it & had multiple years use of it, your support finished. Do you also want a free replacement for your TV you bought ten years ago? woot   Older LW versions are not available because the Gnutella network goes through changes. Allowing older version software of any gnutella client to still be available when it's behaviour is detriment to the running of the network is not in the best interests of the users as a whole. LW's recent forced update was also due to this reason which was explained to us by their employees. |

I appreciate you taking the time to write this explanation but it doesn't get me what I paid for. The program was an older version but worked fine on the present network. Regardless of the changes you mentioned I paid for the ability to download faster which I can't do with the free version. Problems like these will keep file sharing networks free because the companies won't make any long term profit. They will not get any more of my money for sure! Microsoft and Adobe (I have purchsed software from both) send you their program on a disc when you buy a program so THIS PROBLEM CAN'T OCCURE If I recall correctly the Limewire install took place online and I could only save the download link, which I did. When I used it it loaded the present version of the free software. TV's break down, software doesn't. No comparison. Thanks Again, GOD Bless! Jim |

| LW used to give the option of the installer on a CD for a little extra cost, but you chose the online installer. That's not their fault but your choice. Also your choice not to back the installer up. I mean .. most people will back up their stuff. (Same applies to most major software companies ... you have a choice to purchase the cd or online installer.) And NO Adobe & MS do NOT offer any past online installers for those whose support has finished. I dont' care if you use LW or not, use another gnutella program or don't use any p2p program. I am just trying to point out the facts & logic to you. And right now this thread is not going anywhere except for you flaming against LW for your misunderstanding.
