Recently I have been experiencing trouble with my Macbook Pro (2009 model) while running Lion, which I purchased in the Mac App Store. I figured that I've built up quite a bit of unnecessary junk files on my harddrive, so as I would do occasionally with Leopard and Snow Leopard, I decided to wipe the harddrive and reinstall the OS for a nice, fresh start.
Since I didn't have any physical copy of Lion, I thought it best to use my Snow Leopard install DVD to wipe the harddrive, install Snow Leopard and then re-download Lion from the Mac App Store. After returning to factory settings in Snow Leopard, the App Store is telling me that I need to repurchase Lion from the App Store to download it, though I previously purchased it before. I am using the same Apple ID and everything.
Can anyone see any way around paying $30 for software that I've already purchased?
