It doesn't matter what they told you, because this is not their site. Questions asked here must be in compliance with this site's guidelines, and the guidelines here are exactly as I explained before. Contact LinkedIn Customer Service for questions that are
not specifically about programming (code) related to their API. The only questions that may be asked here are about programming (code) or use of programmers tools. We cannot speak on behalf of off-site, third party vendors, their services, licensing, or issues specific to your account. —
