I have no idea if anyone has brought this up but i guess if they have then someone will post a link to the thread.

Whats going on, i pay for limewire pro, have done for sometime now and i update to the latest version 4.16.4 only to find a larget "ADVERT" smack dab in the middle of the search window saying "Go for Pro"...

Hello guys, whats this about..if i had been using the limewire basic and saw this then i would understand but to have it on limewire pro which many of us do actually pay for is just not on...
Find someway of removing it please as i am about to renew my subscription for limewire pro...

This forum isn't the place to reach the developers...we're just volunteers who don't work for LW!

Looks like it's a bug (I know you're not using the Beta, might be a bug in the latest stable release as well).
Pro nag showing in 4.17.3 Pro Beta - LimeWire Forums

I've got a similar problem -- paid for "pro", had to re-instal after the prog "froze" now don't seem to have what I paid for e.g. pro -- sent e.mail which was acknowledged and would be answered immediately -- nada nothing nil still waiting -- some help from the org would be appreciated !!!

Did you read post #2, where I said that the helpers here don't work for LW??
You can't get official LW help here, if that's what you're after

What version of LW are you using? Sometimes there can be a problem where a basic splash screen shows up, even though it's a Pro version. If you go to Help > About LimeWire, you'll see whether you have a Pro or basic LW.

Where did you buy Pro & who did you pay for Pro? Which site did you contact for Pro support (just that there are lots of scammers out there)?

Tks 4 that -- further developement, last night my screen showed an update for LW clicking on and the whole lot disappeared ! I have at the moment NO LW at all I will be re-installing, re the "pro" situation I paid LW $21.95 on the 21st of Dec thru the LW site itself eg: do you want pro -- clicked on and paid -- never had any probs before

So when you clicked to update, your LW disappeared? That's very weird. Did you have a look in C:\Program Files to see whether there was any LW program there?

See how you go after reinstalling Pro. If you see the Pro nag box, don't worry. Just check in Help > About LimeWire & see if your version shows as Pro.

Which OS are you using?

I'm pretty confused about all this at the mo' --- s++t to breakfast time !!! reluctant to re-instal -- don't know if I've got the right site to d/load from if you can give me the genuine site I'll re-instal and checkout my pro status regards...

When you bought Pro, you would've recieved an email with a link to your Pro personal download page...follow that link & download from your Pro page

If you didn't save the original email or link, go to the page below. Enter the email address that you used to buy Pro...you'll be directed to your download page.
