How Do I get a License key for Trial version from the App Store?

I downloaded a Trial version of Aperture 3.1.2 a few weeks ago from the App Store. I love it. Now I want to buy it, but, can't figure out how to get a license key from the App Store. When you start up Aperture Trial version, a 'nag' box comes up asking if you want to buy the application or continue using the trial version or Authorize (I guess that is what you would pick once you have the key). If I pick "Buy", the application opens Safari and takes me to the Apple online store, NOT the App store! At the Apple Store, you can buy the key for $199 or an upgrade from a previous version for $99. Whoopie! What is Apple thinking? The App store is selling Aperture for $79.99. I guess that means you don't get the box or written manuals (which I haven't used for any software in many years).
So how do I get a license key for the App Store version? Do I just Go to the App Store, pay the money, download and install the program over again. Then transfer my trial version library somehow? Then deinstall the trial version? I'd love to buy and use Aperture for $79.99, but, I'm not willing to pay $199 for it.  Apple has me confused.
Anybody have a clue?

Thanks for the 1-800 call tip Allen.
P.S. I'm quite willing to put in the time and effort necessary to learn Aperture (or any other software I decide to use, "Pro" or not). I simply don't see the value in buying the box version when I'm pretty sure I won't be using any paper manuals.  I very comfortable using online help files, having done so as a professional numerical control programmer for many years in my work. For reference, I'm retired, on a limited income and will be using Aperture as a rank amateur photographer who could use a little more horsepower than iPhoto offers.
I'll call Apple tomorrow.

  • I just want to know what Apple computer to get to play Civilization V down loaded from the App store.

    I just want to know what Apple computer to get to play Civilization V down loaded from the App store.
    The game Civ5 processes a turn in single core mode. It says “please wait” while it processes a turn. If the intel i7 CPU is “fourth generation” it is twice as fast for civ5 turn processing. It does not matter if you have more memory or a better graphics chip. So, I can get a smaller cheeper Apple computer as long as it is fourth generation. I tested three new iMacs, two new MacPros and two mac minis.
    See:

    I have looked at that darned “please wait” message for years. Now it can be 60 seconds on a new MacPro6,1 or late 2012 Mac mini and 30 seconds on a new iMac. Even the 21.5 iMac 3.1 GHz has 3.9 GHz turbo boost for single core and it is supposed to be fourth generation.
    Some of that does not seem to true for the new 21.5 inch iMac I just tested (Fusion drive). Mac Mini 54 seconds 21.5 iMac 49 seconds.

    Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
    Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

  • Just got an e mail to say that my Apple ID was just used to download photoshop touch for phone for 2.99 from the App Store with a receipt number. Is this a scam for me to give my Apple ID?

    Just got an e mail to say that my Apple ID was just used to download photoshop touch for phone for 2.99 from the App Store with a receipt number. Is this a scam for me to give my Apple ID?

    No but there's a link to reset your password. Etc etc..
    This is the email I got.
    "Your Apple ID was just used to download Photoshop Touch for phone £2.99 from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
    If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
    If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.

  • I am running iPhoto 6.0.6.  If I purchase the upgrade to iPhoto 9.0 for $14.95 from the app store, will I be able to make the upgrade jump directly from 6.0.6 to 9.0?

    I am running iPhoto 6.0.6.  If I purchase the upgrade to iPhoto 9.0 for $14.95 from the app store, will I be able to upgrade directly from 6.0.6 to 9.0 without purchasing any other versions in between? 

    It seems the App Store doesn't offer iPhoto 9.0 for download.  I presume purchasing iPhoto '11 (v.9.4.2) for $14.99 isn't going to work...because I know the most advanced version my system can handle is 9.2.3.  I'm secretly hoping that if I go for the upgrade to 9.4.2, it'll take me as far as 9.2.3 and just leave me running that version.  But, my hunch is the more likely scenario will be that the upgrade/installation will not be completed/fail.
    Can you please just confirm that my hunch (as opposed to my "hope") is correct?
    Thanks!

  • How do I cancel a download (that is in progress) from the app store?

    I have a "Xcode for snow leopard" download that I obviously don't need anymore. I want it to be gone from the app store, but I don't want to download all the 4.9GB to my harddrive. How can I cancel it?

    Hello there, DB8.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up the stpes for canceling a download from Mac App Store:
    Mac App Store: Buy, download, and install apps
    Pause, resume, or cancel an app download
    To pause or resume a download in App Store, in the toolbar, click Purchases, find the app in the list, and then click Pause or Resume.During the download, the amount downloaded and estimated download time remaining are shown.
    While installing, the estimated time remaining is shown.
    To cancel a download in App Store, in the toolbar, click Purchases, find the app in the list, hold down the Option key, and then click Cancel.
    To pause or resume a download in Launchpad, click the app icon.
    To cancel a download in Launchpad, hold down the app icon until all the icons start to jiggle, and then click the app’s delete button (x).
    To cancel a download in the Finder, click the app's delete button (x).
    If a download is interrupted because you lose your Internet connection or quit App Store, App Store starts the download again when the Internet connection is restored or the next time you open App Store.
    To start downloading any apps you purchased but haven’t successfully downloaded, choose Store > “Check for Unfinished Downloads.”
