Q: Can I reinstall an Mac App Store in app purchase?

Hello!

 

I installed the app Ticket to Ride on my iMac. I bought extra maps for that game; an in app purchase.

Now i installed Ticket to Ride also on my MacBook. That was easy and free! Now I also want the in app purchases free on my MacBook. Is that possible or do I have to buy them a second time?

 

Thanks!

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    If you lose your In-App Purchases because apps were accidentally deleted, or if you had to restore your device without a backup, you may be able to download some of your in app purchases again for free. Not all In-App Purchases are eligible for free download again.

     

    1. Replenishable In-App Purchases and subscriptions cannot be downloaded again for free, and must be repurchased. Examples include but are not limited to: extra ammo, additional health, extra experience points, or other one-time services.
    2. Non-replenishable In-App Purchases and auto-renewing subscriptions can be downloaded again for free. Examples include: bonus game levels, a map/city guide, a daily news subscription, or other recurring services.
    3. To download an In-App Purchase again, you must download it from within the installed app using the same iTunes Store account name for the original In-App Purchase.

    Thank you Dah.veed! My question is solved. It was an Non-replenishable In-App Purchase:)
