FCPX won't update

After I update my MacBook to macOS Catalina, I am unable to update Final Cut Pro. Whenever I go to the App Store to update it, it says that I have never purchased the application and asks me to buy it again.

Logic Pro X 10.5 not showing update in app store Hi there, I have a MacBook Pro, and currently up to date with Catalina 10.15.4. However, there is no update showing for Logic Pro X 10.5? Why is it asking me to purchase it from the app store when I have it already, and I should be able to update it? It is not showing an update icon, instead it just says buy. Is anyone else having the same problem on Catalina?

iMovie App cannot be updated I just received a new wonderful iMac 2020 27" i9 with Catalina fully updated. Everything runs perfectly, I just have problems with iMovie (and same with GarageBand but I don't use it). iMovie works correctly but the App Store propose me an update. When I try to install the update, I get the following message "The iMovie app cannot be updated because it was refunded or purchased with another Apple ID" (translated from Italian, could be different in English). I never had another Apple ID and, for what I know, iMovie is free and cannot thus be refunded. In any case, it is currently working. The problem is just with the update process. Someone would kindly help me?

Are you logged into the App Store with the Apple ID used to buy it?
