Question

How do I re-download aperture if I didn't buy from the app store?

I bought Aperture a long while back (I think as AP2), and then upgraded to 3. I've now replaced my HD and need to reinstall it.

Easiest thing I can think of would be to download it from the app store, but I didn't buy it through the app store. Is there another way to re-install aperture? Or, alternatively, is there a way to "upgrade" to the app store version, which would be more convenient altogether?

Thanks! -a.

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

No. The only way to get is is either from the original DVD or from the AppStore. If you can't the DVD, the App Store is the cheaper way to go.

Boo :-(

I mean, I still have the old hard drive... I guess I could just copy the application over, but there's probably a bunch of support files I don't want to track down by hand.

Or, maybe I can download the Aperture 3 trial from Apple and try entering my serial into that? I might give that a shot.

Thanks for the help,

If you have an Aperture 3 serial number then yes you can down load the trial and use it.
