Is it possible to re-download OSX Lion for free from previous purchase

My husband downloaded OSX Lion but did not save it onto disk, we have 3 mac books at home. Can he re-download without paying again. Thanks

It would be easier to download it on one of the other Macs when logged into the same store Account.
There is a workaround to download it to the Mac upon which the original purchase was made- in the Purchased pane, Option - click on the OS X Lion app name to the left of the INSTALLED button. It takes you to the Lion description page with the Install button now available. Make sure he saves a copy of this before starting the install.
There are other tricks you can do with this downloaded installer, a search on "Lion installer USB drive" will give you many suggestions of what you can do with it.
Best wishes. Joel.

  • Paid for lion recently can i download mountain lion for free?

    Hi :) recently paid and downloaded mac os lion ( 16 june 2012 ) i just need to know is there a way to get mac os mountain lion for free because of my recent mac os lion download. 

    Unless you bought Lion with an explicit offer from Apple telling you that you can get ML for free, you will not be able to download and install ML for free.
    You will have to purchase Mountain Lion for 20 dollars (US price) in the Mac App Store.

  • How do I download Mountain Lion for free?

    I purchased my MBP in July last year. I need to create a bootable drive of OS. In the app store, it is not showing OSX Lion. There is only the option of downloading Mountain Lion, but that isn't free.
    If I am correct, I am entitled to a free upgrade, right? How do I download Mountain Lion free of cost? I want to have a bootable drive at hand, just in case my MBP goes kaput, like it did about 10 days back.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    No, unfortunately that was the Up-To-Date Program and I think you're a bit late for that. Right now ,the only available DL is Mountain Lion and it's no longer free.

    Who knows at this point. It was a year ago. Nobody here can tell you what Apple thinks. You must talk to Apple if you want a definite answer from Apple.
    We can only help you with things we can access. Since the Up-to-date website doesn't appear to exist, we have no way of telling you how to try to overcome what you seem to think is unfair.
    Only Apple can do that, and that would require you to talk to Apple.

  • HT1338 Where do I enter the code to download Mountain Lion for free?

    I have obtained my password for a free mountain lion upgrade on my new computer but can not figure out where I go to input the information to download?

    First, make sure you got the right password - it should be an 8 - or maybe 12 - digit code with only numbers, and no letters or dashes.  If you have something with letters and/or dashes, that is not the code.
    Once you have the code, go to the App Store, click on the "Featured" tab on top, and the "Redeem" link on the right side.  Enter your code, and you'll be on your way.

  • I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store.  Can I also download it for my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store.  I was curious if it is possible to downloand Mountain Lion to my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?  Not trying to be a cheapskate, just curious if App Store purchases are universal like iTunes Apps.

    You can re download Mountain Lion for free on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select  Mountain Lion.
    Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

  • Where can i download Os Lion for my new macbook pro

    Hi,
    i have just purchased a new macbook pro but it has snow leopard installed. The genius`s said i can download lion for free from apple.. any body know the link for this. ??
    regards
    Keith

    Of course, just going to the App Store will require that he buy it, and going to the Apple website does not provide anywhere for downloading Lion.  No offense, but you should avoid giving advice if you don't actually know if your advice works.
    Keith, see the following page to get a code that will allow you to obtain Lion for free:

  • Can I upgrade to Mac Lion for free again?

    Hi
    I bought my Macbook Pro in June 2011, and beacse I bought it between a certian timeframe, I was able to upgrade to OS X lion for free from the app store durring a promo or something. All I had to do was put in my Mac serial number to confirm it was right.
    I sort of wnat to restore my laptop back....however, that will make it go back to leapord, not lion.
    I was wondering if there would be some way to re-get lion for free? I know with other aplications, on the iPhone anyway, you can simply click 'buy now' and it says you already had it once, so you can get it again for free... but since I never paid for this, will it make me?
    Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

    Just use the recovery feature to restore
