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.

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. |

 Can't reload LW Pro. Purchased 1-10-2010 Hello all. I called Limewire today, before posting, fyi. I bought the $13.95 1-time Pro version in January. My computer caught the big ole P2P virus and I had to use the full Recovery disc, which brought it back to the way it was the day I bought the computer. This computer is a Windows XP with 1,2,& 3 Service Pack's installed. It's as clean as whistle now, so I lost my email with everything else. That means I have no product key (I take blame for not writing it down on paper). I don't need support or help. I only want my product key I purchased just 2 months ago. I understood the support was for six months, or none at all. I didn't realize that if something happened to my computer that I would not get what I paid for (for the entire term). The guy on the phone said the email they sent me when I purchased Pro stated that there were no re-installations. It certainly wasn't in bold print, if it was on the email, but regardless, I didn't see that part. So, it appears that if you buy the one-time Pro deal, and something happens (to computer) one minute after you buy it, you are just out your money. I realize $13.95 is nothing much, but I've never experienced anything like this in my 58 years on this earth. And I've been is sales/marketing all my career. It's the principle of the whole thing. I don't want anything I didn't pay for. I realized I would not get technical support, but I can't believe they lump furnishing your product key (which is like a receipt to me) that you paid for, into a category that could possibly be considered "support". So, if I want to renew Pro, I have to pay again. What if the same thing happens tomorrow? If LW thinks this will help them promote Pro, and increase sales, they might need to re-think about how many folks they are turning off, or who will never upgrade, and just use the freebie, after experiencing something like this. I don't know what to do now, but it scares me a little to send them ANY money. I know this might not be the right forum thread. If it's not, please direct me to the correct one. Thank you very much.  |

I just checked the LW download page, seems they have now changed the no support version to 3 month support for same price. I like the sound of this change compared to the no updates version yet for same price. Your purchase was over 2 months ago which makes it more difficult since the offer terms back then were different. LW Pro with 3 month support Backing files up to an external drive is usually a wise idea.  I will make an inquiry about this however. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; March 17th, 2010 at 07:39 PM. |

| Thanks, m'Lord. I got the $13.95 deal because I had been considering going to Pro for a while, and wanted to compare it to the free version. I play in a cover band, so all I do is download 1 or 2 songs a week. I make cd's for a Tascam machine that can change pitch and temp, independently, and then I delete the songs. And this computer is dedicated to my music studio. I don't surf or get emails on it (other than subscription confirmations, etc). You are correct in that I should have backed it up with my EHD, but it got corrupted very soon after I went to Pro, and I certainly didn't want to backup corrupted files. I took it to a shop first, and they said the only fix was a full Recovery disc. The most aggravating factor is what all LW considers "support". I type my email address in, and it comes back saying "no support". I got their phone number off of my credit card statement. And then I had to get in through "billing issues". I've always considered support to be tech support or billing support, but you can't even get to them to let them know all you really want is a "receipt" for what you paid for. Looks bad on LW, imho. Sometimes in marketing you have to give a little to get a greater return. Now they have turned me totally off, obviously. So, it is a valid question to ask why would I even consider the Pro support. (I just want the software upgrade) I've downloaded the free version, but it's still the principle of getting the software I paid for... Not the tech support. They can give me a refund if they want to, but I really just like to have the Pro software, even without support. Thanks again for you help. Much appreciated. cd |

| P/S: LOTR, I do like the AVG on the new Pro software. That's one reason to go Pro. Mine did not have it, but it could have saved all of this work and trouble. I had Norton (didn't catch anything), but now I have Avast, which does scan incoming P2P downloads, specifically gnutella/Limewire. Thanks again for your efforts, cd |
