Why doesn't FCP X show in in the "purchased" section

As I just purchased FCP X last week it does not show up in the "purchased" section of the App store next to my other purchases.


Does this mean that I can't install it on other machines I own?

I'm afraid that if I press "buy" again I will be charged again


Anyone else had this experience with FCP X (perhaps I should post this in the App store section as well)

Mac Pro 8-Core | 2.26, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 8Gb, ATI Radeon HD 4870

Same here. I did try to re-purchase Motion to see what would happen and it does eventually acknowledge that you have purchased this in the past and gives you an option to re-download it.


While it is re-downloading, if you look in the Purchased section, you can see the "purchase date" as 'undefined'. All my other apps have purchase dates next to them. Also, once the download is finished, it disappears from this screen. I assume i would have to pretend to re-buy it on any mac i wish to install it on but clearly there is somethign out of sync with my account and these purchases.

I had the same issue except sometimes when I launched App store Motion was marked as purchased but there wasn't a download option... in the end I logged out of App Store and then logged back in again and lo and behold FCP X and Motion were both in the purchased section and available for down load. It has forgotten however that I had purchased SBX.... App store is starting to feel like a bit like Mobile Me 😟.
