Trying to download Mountain Lion

Question

Hello,
When I click purchase, I immediatly get an error which is;
"We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" and that is before it's even started to download.
Any idea of what I could try to overcome this issue?

Okay, I have a working solution to this after some research
A clue was mentioned by "matthewfrombellshoals" above, he has two laptops and issues with one. The cause is using the same OS install on both machines; I am assuming he's tried installing the same OS on both laptops. When I upgraded to Lion I didn't make a backup, so I used a friends backup DVD when I decided to do a fresh install from scratch; the cause of my problems.
First back up all your data. Then I wiped the boot partition and installed Snow Leopard (as I had a valid DVD) then do all the updates, then download and install Lion, again do all the updates, then I could download and install Mountain Lion without a single issue. Then using migration assistant I transfered my old account and everything works fine.
So somewhere within the software it's knows on which PC/Laptops the download should be on, and how many times it's being installed. I now have all legal working software and a happy bunny
I hope this helps other
