You don't need a license, well at least not with the pro version.
I think its Limewires way of stopping their asses getting sued for copyright infringement.
The busy hosts, either means, that the place your downloading from is offline, or you are in a queue to download it.
When I get bust hosts, i download another file. Also you should click yes on the license message.
Is that ok?

limewire itself contains no viruses, if you coose to use it just scan your downloads for bugs especially .exe programs.
and the license bit is just a technicallity, change to 'download even without license' or w/e its called to stop that popping up.
and the 'waiting on busy hosts' just means that people who have the file are not online. you cant do anything about that, just pick files that are 'healthy'
or wait til it comes.

Yah, downloading from Limewire is about as safe as downloading from anywhere else. You just have to remeber to scan the files you download.

I use limewire pro and I make sure to scan everything once its downloaded. Download the wrong thing and your shared folder turns into an Trojan orgy
