Q: my hard drive crashed.  how to download final cut pro x??

Hi, my 2009 model Mac Pro hard drive crashed.  I repaired computer with new one.  I had purchased the Final Cut Pro X software via iTunes 4/1/2015.  How do I get this back?  All I have is the electronic recipe from Apple iTunes as it was downloaded.  It was an upgrade from Final Cut Pro 7.  Thanks for your reply's. 

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

    log-in to AppStore with the AppleID you used for purchasing FCPX and download it.

    Not to split hairs, but…Although you may have thought of the installation of FCP X as an upgrade, there actually was no upgrade path from earlier versions of Final Cut Pro to FCP X. (The only thing the two applications really have in common is the name and developer.) So a user who had never had a license for FCP 7 would download the same files as a FCP 7 user.
