Limewire 2008 is a client for the Java Platform, which uses the Gnutella network to locate and share files. Released under the GNU General Public License, Limewire is free software download. It also encourages the user to pay a fee, which will then give the user access to LimeWire Pro. Limewire is serving over 30 Billion Files on the gnutella network and offer many free downloads.
LimeWire, LLC generates its revenues from the sale of LimeWire Pro, and items such as t-shirts and caps, which display the Limewire logo. A LimeWire Pro license costs $24.95, and provides the user with a 6 month license to download updated Pro versions. A 1-year "Extended Pro" license is available for $34.95. While commonly mistaken by many users to be a license to the content accessible via LimeWire on the Gnutella network, in fact, it is only a license to the software. However, the Pro version is readily available from alternate sources including the Gnutella network (for example, a user may use the freely-distributed version of LimeWire to find and download the Pro version).
The Pro version differs from the Basic version in 4 respects:
- It offers personalized technical support.
- It provides more search results by connecting to 5 UltraPeers instead of 3 UltraPeers.
- It comes with extra skins, including a special "pro only" skin.
- Its downloads are "turbo-charged"
- iPod and many other Mp3 player friendly.
