There is no lifetime subscription to LimeWire Pro. There is only Pro for $18.88 you get Pro and 6 months of free upgrades. LimeWire basic is free to use as long as you like. You have probably been scammed. Only get LimeWire from the official site. If you got it from music match or any of the other numerous scam sites you probably paid $25 for basic which is free. And that is probably why LimeWire does not recognize your E-Mail.

I like the way you laid out that "curse" on the thief that scammed you but, I have to say, such people are beyond curses because scamming people is what they do for a living, they are professional crooks.

And one other thing, if you got your LW Pro from the scam site you must realise that you are not entitled to any updates or support from the LW org, simply because the crooks got your money not LW.

I, like you, am a working man and it makes me sick that there are parasites and vultures out there that prey on us and just see us as sheep to be fleeced.

Just remember, the only real protection you have against these scum bags is your common sense.

Stay safe.

Just curious what is the site that you got it from. That is the first scam site that I have heard of that actually paid LimeWire for Pro. Are you sure you got Pro you can check by clicking on help while LW is running then clicking on about it should say LW Pro at the top of the page. If it is indeed Pro and you were able to update it from the Pro download page then you should be able to get support from LW.

But remember you will only be able to upgrade for 6 months and then you will have to pay for Pro again.

Question Confusing???

bwhiteboy

You have me somewhat confused, I, like Grandpa, have never heard of a scam site that would upgrade LW basic to LW Pro, they usually pretend that they can but still only provide a URL link to LW Basic.

And I would ask the same question Grandpa asked, are you sure you have LW Pro?

And, above all, remember that all this "lifetime" nonsense and monthly subscriptions is "money for nothing", i.e. you pay and get nothing in return.


Grandpa

One small point, if bwhiteboy paid for his LW Pro via a scam site then technically he is not entitled to support from the LW org, his only entitlement is to support from the people who got his money. Unless the scammers have some sort of deal/arrangement going with the LW Org, which is doubtful but possible (businesses makes strange bedfellows), bwhiteboy is highly unlikely to get the six months worth of upgrades/updates and support he would normally be entitled to.

I've never heard of any scam site actually delivering on their promise to provide LW pro. If you do indeed have LW Pro, it will be visible on the front interface. See sample below to check for sure you have pro.

BTW can you tell us what site you paid your money to?
